How to Write MSSQL Table Data to .Txt File Using PHP Then Send .Txt File to an Email

Question

I am trying to create a PHP page that will select all data from my MSSQL table products. Once all data is selected I would like a .txt file to be created that displays all the table data in it. When the .txt file is created I would like the file to be attached to an email that gets sent to me. I prefer the .txt file to not be saved onto my website's server as that would create a lot of .txt files and take up too much space.

If anyone has any idea on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for any help!

Divide and conquer.

Once you've learned how to do each of these small tasks, you can integrate them into the larger system you've described.
