PHP/MYSQL to TXT file sent to user

Asked by Gregg1009 in PHP Scripting Language, PHP and Databases, Miscellaneous Web Development

I want to add a button on a web page that runs a PHP script that will first create a txt file then send it to the users computer. So the end-user clicks a button and a file starts to download. on the server side when they click the button it will create a txt file which is a text delimited file with the following fields from a MYSQL db:

"SELECT Student_ID, Guardians_First_Name, Guardians_last_Name, Home_Street Address, Home_Address_2, Home_city, Home_State, Home_Zip Code FROM students"

I am not sure how to write this file as I am new to PHP and MYSQL. I basically want the user to click the button and get the text file sent to them so they can use it with MS Word to do a mail merge. I was looking around for a mail merge script or program but everything I found so far seems to be way over my head to get done. So I think the easiest thing to do is just create the text delimited file and let the end-user import it into word for the mail merge. I hope I explaned this well enough. I would really appreciate any help you can give. I hope this is an easy script to come up with.
