Getting there...
That did indeed output my results to the screen...
Next steo is to output that same data to a new file...
I've done downloads on my site elsewhere, using header(), but with
existing files...
I guess I need to learn how to use fwrite?

Re: [PHP-DB] csv export...?
It looks like is not so simple. But is not difficult at all..
Try to make something like:
<?php
header("Content-type: text/csv");
$query = "SELECT * FROM tables";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)){
print implode(",", $row);
}
mysql_free_result($result);
?>
Check if functions like implode has the correct arguments.
Anyway hopes it gives you a clue about what is going on.
Don't forget to connect to database first of all.
