Hi Marek, Thanks for your reply, could you tell me how I would go about this please?
<?php header('Content-type: text/csv'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="download.csv"'); /** Now you perform the MySQL query, DECODE the information and echo it to the screen. Hopefully this is actually in CSV format :) */ ?>

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.
