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? Thankfull for all advices or help : ) Best regards Raymond ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank Flynn" <frank@declan.com> To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Cc: <raymol@online.no> Sent: Sunday, April 07, 2002 6:02 AM Subject: Re: Making a txt file from db data, is it possible? > On 4/6/02 4:12 PM, "php-db-digest-help@lists.php.net" > <php-db-digest-help@lists.php.net> wrote: > > > From: "Raymond Lilleodegard" <raymol@online.no> > > Date: Sat, 6 Apr 2002 17:18:07 +0200 > > To: php-db@lists.php.net > > Subject: Re: Making a txt file from db data, is it possible? > > > > May I use this dump method with a query too?
