Subject:Mailing Labels from MySQL database on web
View as plain text  
I have a club roster database set up on our web site in which the 
underlying data is in a MySQL database.  I am using PHP to access the 
data and display it on a web page as a phone list, e-mail list, 
directory etc.  Now what I need it to give the club secretary a way 
to print mailing labels.

What is the best way to approach this?  As a temporary measure, I 
used an auxiliary program (MySQL-Front running on a PC) to create a 
CSV file on my PC which I e-mailed to the secretary along with 
instructions on how to use the file in mail merge document in MS Word 
to create labels.  I thought about writing PHP code to create a CSV 
formatted output on a web page which the secretary could copy and 
paste into a document for the mail merge, but it seems there should 
be a better way.

Any suggestions?
