-----Original Message----- From: Brent Anderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2007 4:21 PM To: php-db@lists.php.net 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 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeremy Glover Interactive Communication Developer, Trone 336.819.6934 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail communication and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged information for the use of the designated recipients named above.
