Yes, of course :-)
Here is a tab-delimited file of upcoming events from 'whatever' table:
<?php
require 'connect.inc';
$query = "select * from whatever where whatdate >= now()";
$upcoming = mysql_query($query, $connection) or error_log(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($upcoming)){
echo implode("\t", $row), "\n";
}
?>
You may or may not want to add something like:
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
to force a download, as well as review the posts of the past few days (and
seemingly every week or so for the past 5 years) about how to force the
browsers to pick a "nice" filename for the "Save As..." box.
