PHP mime

[casady]

I am printing results from a database query. I have set the results in a format. I want to run PHP from the browser and get the results in the format I have specified.
I am trying to set the mime. I am not very clear how to do this.
Can some one help me?
Thanks,
casady

Welcome to WebmasterWorld casady,

I don't quite understand what you are trying to do. You just want to select data from the db and then display them in a browser in a specified format?

You can't run PHP from the browser per se. It's a server-side technology. The mime type will depend on what you generate using PHP. In other words, if you use PHP to

- generate HTML, mime type is text/html
- generate PDF, mime type is ... application/pdf?
- generate CSS, mime type is text/css
- generate PNG, mime type is image/png
