Write database to CSV file

Question

PHP - send file to user

I have written a script that successfully outputs userdata to a CSV file on my server.

My question: is there a way to make the CSV file popup so the user can open it? As is, the only way to open the file is directly from the server.

right.. do you want the user to download the file? – mishu May 02 '12 at 14:36 — mishu, May 02 '12 at 14:36

<?php
    $csv_file = '/path/to/yourfile.csv'; // path to the csv file you're generating on the server

    header('Content-type: text/csv');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.basename($csv_file));

    readfile($csv_file);
?>
