Heya, NMA.

Create a new PHP script to load and save the database content and link to that file.

You can tell the browser to display the content as text by using this line:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

header('Content-type: text/plain; charset=characterSetGoesHere');

The value of charset is generally 'utf-8', but you might have a long string that begins with 'iso' if you develop on a Windows system.

You can also create a force download script.

This is probably soooo simple but I can't seem to get it. I have a text file that I want users to download via a web page. I want the file to be saved to a default folder (or one that they choose) on the users / client file system.

Also the text file is so small it is a waste to zip it.
