First time, open file

[sessi4ml]

I am looking at this PHP code and trying to decide I have another 4TB of brain storage for another language.

Starting simple:
Could I have data in an ASCII file?
'name, address, city, state'
Open and output to user...

The Idea: running PHP on a PC with a public address.
This PC runs my VB program reads the database and builds a ASCII or Excel file. PHP waits for a user to request this information from a BlackBerry.

Is this a simple program?
Can you offer some code that will help, direct me in this direction..
Thanks

uhh. you could have PHP take a request and then run your VB program, sure. seems a little pointless, but that's just me.

but, you could also have PHP interface with your database and build your ASCII file rather than having another program do it. you may be able to build Excel files as well, but I've not looked into it.
