Okay here is what I want to do.
Select the field of a database that I want.
Hit submit.
Execute a query of a database based on the said form.
Gather all the data and rows and plug them into an excel generated file.
Display a dialogue box asking the user the save the file.
The saved file being an excel file with data generated from a database.
Make sense?
Would the header calls be something like this?
header("Content-type: application/xls");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=downloaded.xls");
Now if that is cool, how would I get the data into the downloaded.xls file to have this work?
Thanks
Phillip
