How To Get Mysql Query Result Into Temp. Txt File


I did a lite search in the archive but didn't find anything specific to my problem. Here is what I am trying to do:

I've got a table with about 25k entries of company addresses. I need to be able to pull specific data out of the table and put it in a temporary text file and then display the result in the browser for the user to save locally.

The query part and the format of the data is all simple enough but I am having trouble figuring out how to get the data from the query into a temporary text file and then displaying that file. here is what I whipped up but it obviously doesn't work: Code:
<?
$tmpfname = tempnam("/path/to/file/", "FOO");
$list = mysql_query("select * from FH_LIST where State='AK'");
while ($list_results = mysql_fetch_array($list)) {
$data = blah blah blah;
fwrite($tmpfname, ".$data
");
}

fopen($tmpfname, "r");
fpassthru($tmpfname);
?>

I get an error message saying:
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource (referring to $data).

Same Mysql Query Doesn't Always Return A Result
We have no access to a mysql NG on my provider's server, so we ask here:

We have a long query (long in text) with a UNION between 2 select.

We have been informed that some times the query doesn't return any result.
We have tried on our server and we always get a result. BUT, trying on the
hosting server, many times the query doesn't return any result and doesn't
get any error.

Any idea ? does Union have any problem ? how to check if the query failed ?
My hoster said that sometimes the table can be locked (if the server is
overloaded) and then mysql doesn't return any result, but this seems to me
an aberration.

the query takes about 0.0050 sec to execute when it doesn't return any
result, and 0.030 when I get results

MySQL Query Result Rows
Still learning the ropes of PHP/MySQL here so pardon if this is something from a 101 class. I am wanting to know if/how I can query a MySQL database, pull two rows of information and assign them individual variable names. I know this isn't too clear. Let me try to explain what I want to do. Let's say I have something similar to this:
Code:

$query = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT entry_id, user_id, date FROM my_entries WHERE user_id = '$user_info[user_id]' ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 2"));


What I would like to be able to do is assign separate variables for the info on the two rows returned by the query. I want to have the following variables:

$first_date = $query[date]; <= from the first row
$second_date = $query[date]; <= from the second row

I can then use the two variables to compare to each other, etc. Can this be done with a single query? Or are two queries required (if so how)?

Processing MySQL Query Result

Can I Put A Mysql Query Result Directly Into A Multidimensional Array?

Creating Link To File Or Temp File For User Download
I am designing a document management system (DMS). The files are stored
in a directory on the webserver. The filenames for the documents are
stored in a MySQL database. The DMS will track revisions from the
initial version through the updates. We must have strict permissions
set so only authorized personnel can access some documents. All of the
documents when uploaded are given totally random names such as
"114723fb5422c6bd5ed18f6.doc". Is there a way, without the webserver
creating a new file name "document_specs_ver2.doc" to have the file
download named "document_specs_ver2.doc".

If I must physically create a new file, how do I know when the
webserver would be allowed to delete it? Notes: The files will be in
several different file formats, not just "doc".

Header Function, File Download, Temp File Disappears

header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="".$assoc["name"].""");}

which starts the download of an mp3 file in one particular case. If you do not save target as and just select 'open' the temp file is zero bytes even though the download process took a while and showd how much progress you were making. So something is happening to the temp file.

MySQL Query Or Include Variables From File
I have a database table that rarely changes it's values. Would it be faster to insert the variables from that table into a file (and include that file into the PHP file that needs the value) or just query the database when needed?

I can run a script once I need to change the values and the script can write them to the file that is included in the PHP file that needs them.

If you don't know the answer can you tell me how I can test how much time a PHP script needs to run... can I find what time it is in a desired moment in the script in milliseconds or something?
