Posting data from from CSV file

thenerse

My knowledge and experiance is very limited so I hope this makes sense and any help is appreciated.

I process orders through my database which spits out a CSV file containing all the data I am shipping to my clients. Currently, I am exporting the file and emailing it as an attachment.

I need to set up an HTTP posting method.

When I process my orders, I have a page set up that lists all the days processed orders/ files. I want to be able to click a file link and have the post initiate.

Is this even possible?

The other issue I expect to encounter is posting the data to an ASP client, but I can deal with that later...

If I understand correctly you want a script that will read your database, create a CSV file and POST that file to a ASP page? Is this the case?

thanks for responding...

The script to querry the data and create an "export batch" is already in place. The page to list all the days export batchs is created and I can click on any export batch and a CSV file will export.. I also have a page in place that lists all the exports, and i can click on any "export_batch" in the list, and it will convert all the data to a MSword/Rich text format. In the same way I click and create CSV or Word from the 'export batch' list, I want to click and initiate a post.

I hope that makes sense. So I guess I am not actually converting a csv file but querring the export batch and then creating the csv from that data. Please let me know if you need any other details.
