Construct then execute the desired query
   http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php

Loop through each record, putting each row into an array, then implode the
array with tabs.
   http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-row.php
   http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.implode.php

The user can then save the resulting output manually.

[PHP] Creating Tab-Delimited Text File

[Phillip S. Baker]

Greetings All,

What I want to do is create a tab-delimited text file for download from 
records in a database.
I am not sure on how to do this.

So what I want to do is as follows.
ON a page a button is clicked.
Script is activated that pulls records from a database.
 From these records a tab-delimited text file is created.
A save dialogue box appears so the user to save the text file to his harddrive.


Thanks

Phillip
