it will be some thing like this...

 
$select = “SELECT * FROM MYNAME";
$export = mysql_query($select);
$count = mysql_num_fields($export);
Extract field names and write them to the $header variable
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
$header .= mysql_field_name($export, $i)."t";
}
Extract all data, format it, and assign to the $data variable
/**********/
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($export)) {
$line = ‘’;
foreach($row as $value) {
if ((!isset($value)) OR ($value == “")) {
$value = “t";
} else {
$value = str_replace(’"‘, ‘""‘, $value);
$value = ‘"‘ . $value . ‘"‘ . “t";
}
$line .= $value;
}
$data .= trim($line)."n";
}
$data = str_replace("r", “", $data);
/************
 
/************/
if ($data == “") {
$data = “n(0) Records Found!n";
}
print “$headern$data";

You need to create a file then write the record to it ... if you need fixed lenght, you may need to pad each field with specific legnth you need.
