Exporting from a website

[Anon]

Is there a way to have a search result have a download function so when they click on it it downloads the result to the users computer in excel or word.

I am using php and it queries a mysql db. Is there a way to download data from the web instead of the backend that exports into word and or excel?

Anywho I figured out it. If anyone needs this answered for future reference I simply just wrote a file into a unique csv file.

In the script the file is created by taking all the variables and just splitting them with commas. Then through it into a csv extension file and it does the rest. I then just have it downloadable once they search it.

just email me if it doesnt make sense and I will give you the code
