Hi, I have a database that contains encrypted data using Mysql function ENCODE(). Certain users will be allowed to view this data and I will allow them to download a CSV file contain the decrypted data using the Mysql DECODE() function. However I don't want this file to be left on the server, is there a way to ensure that the file is deleted immediately after it has been downloaded?
Don't put the file to a file at all, simply output the right header and echo the content.
