Subject: Formatting MySQL Queries

Hello.

My team and I are looking for a way to return an entire table of MySQL
data with columns delimited by tabs and rows delimited by carriage
returns. How exactly would this work - I'm not a PHP expert and,
although I know MySQL, I don't know where to begin with formatting a
query pointer into an actual pile of text. We have an engine ready to
take tables in this format for processing, we just need to parse the
query data into a text result.

Thanks,
Brent Anderson
