[Resolved] text files only temporary from db field?!

[tuf-web_co_uk]

hi,

i know how to create text files using php's fopen();

but i wanted to know how i could create one temporarily using a field from a database

i basically want to take everything from that field, create a text file for it to go in, prompt the user to download it, then delete it so its not roaming around pointlessly on my site

any ideas would be great

I don't think you can make temporary files. However... You could have the script that creates the text files just delete any that are older than 24 hours..
