How can I enable XAMPP to "SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE 'myfile.txt' ;"

Thank you!
I'm working on those directives now.

I have yet to find a clear definition of them, but I'll keep looking.
All I want is to be able to SELECT... OUTPUT TO DATAFILE,
and NO http:// access.

Then you don't need to fiddle with your Apache config.

Just execute your SELECT statement.

The select works, but no data is output when XAMPP runs it.

I get a result file when I run it as ralph@localhost.
ralph has SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, FILE Global privs,
  and NONE set for database 'dbviablitz'.
The file shows up in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/mysql.

The PHP script generates this command:

SELECT 'Fri Dec 12 4:50:46 CET 2014', 'DnD', 'dbviablitz', '', '' INTO OUTFILE 'thefilename.csv' FIELDS ENCLOSED BY '"' TERMINATED BY ',' ESCAPED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';

When run by PHP it generates no output file.
When I run it at the mysql prompt I do.

===================================
Some entries in my http.conf file follow.

But first, could it be WHO the server is running as?
drwxrwxr-x   11 root    admin     374 Dec 11 19:50 var
drwxrwxr-x  17 _mysql  _mysql    578 Dec 11 20:19 mysql

=====================================
I can see nothing of interest in .../xamppfiles/log
or in any logs c/o the Console App.

What am I missing?
Surely daemon mysql has FILE privilege.  Shouldn't it?

The select works, but no data is output when XAMPP runs it.  I get a result file when I run it as or myself.

Turns out without giving a path for the OUTPUT FILE it goes into xamppfiles/var/mysql
which is a protected DIR from the world.
I used an indirect path to locate it into xamppfiles/temp, where my cron job picked it up and removed it from there.
NOT the most secure, but for now it will do.  I'll get with godaddy to find out what they recommend.

Thanks all.
