Re: Making a txt file from db data, is it possible?

Hi! Ok, I think I maybe have to explain this a little better : ) I have this website that have a webshop that is driven by mysql and php. This is working fine, but when a customer puts something into his cart and he is sending his order, I would like to send this order by fax to the store nearest the customer. And I have this faxprogram that scan a directory for files and send them as a fax. So I was thinking .... I'm not sure if it is possible, but if it is possible to write all products in the customers cart into a txtfile. Iwould make to send fax, or?
