Answer 1

You can have MySql return a query result to file directly with

SELECT * INTO OUTFILE 'result.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
FROM my_table;

and then just do (also see Example #1 Download dialog)

header('Content-type: text/csv');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="yourfilename.csv"');
readfile('result.csv');
