[PHP] Export selected data to a text file
I'm brand new to PHP, but very familiar with how to do this in another language. I'm want to read a member's record and export the selected data to a downloadable vCard. The vCard is simply a text file with a .vcf extension. Once I've read all the data for that user, I need to create the file line by line with a \r\n at the end of each. Example: BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:List;PHP;Mailing FN:PHP Mailing List EMAIL;PREF;INTERNET:[EMAIL PROTECTED] REV:20020503T111208Z END:VCARD How do I export each line to a text file then move that newly created file to a web root subdirectory?

Unless you're doing a zillion of these at once, or you expect truly high levels of downloads, wouldn't you want to just generate these on the fly and hand them out with the appropriate Content-Type header? Doesn't seem like there's much point in storing them on disk, as creating them in memory is very cheap. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
