Why have you decided to store results in a file? Is that file to be really
big? or takes long to prepare?

Actually the file is pretty small (less than 8K) and is pretty quick to make (less than 2 seconds). I just didn't know how to do it any other way.

Maybe generating the file 'on the fly' would be easier:

1) Provide a link to a script that generates the file
(eg: <a href="file.php?type=whatever">get file here</a>

2) The script "file.php" sets the content type header to text/plain and just outputs the result of a query. I am not sure how to set HTTP header on Your
webserver (with apache there is a PHP function header(string) )

This sounds like *exactly* what I am after. I'll give it a try!

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I knew there should be a better way but didn't know where to even start looking. I really appreciate your help.
