Some shared servers do not allow the creation of a file, so I am looking
for a way to take the results of a query (MySQL), create a CSV output
and have it in a sendable format for the user without creating a file.
are you sure, then how could you say ftp the files to the server, are
you not trying to create files in the wrong directory?
hmm if you want to allow the user to download the file, then just send
the correct headers, using the header() function, for the csv format and
then echo the contents of the file.
remember your application may spit out some other bits of text and this
will interfere with sending the headers so you may also need to look at
the output control functions to clean the outout buffer and then send
your headers and data:
