This is a combo that I've never done before. Since PHP and mySQL play together nicely, I would imagine that it's not to difficult to do the same things with SQL, only I don't have the slightest clue on how to do it. In the few quick searches that I did, found some references to the Win32 version of Apache but not under linux.
What I need to do is pull down some content from the database, use it to create a couple text files, and them upload them to another server. That destination server happens to be the same as the SQL server, and some scheduled VBScripts on that server could proably get the job done just a bit easier, but I've already got (supposedly working) PHP scripts for this and want to modify things as little as I can possibly get away with.
Can anyone give me the quick-and-dirty? Any extra modules/packages I have to install for either linux or apache? Does PHP have a built-in ability like it does with mySQL? I think that just would be way too convenient.
