Hmm ok, just learning more about this. I actually got this code working (not using webassist code) However I would like to convert to your mysqli server behaviours for code consistency throughout my project (I know I know if it aint broke why fix it). But its a good learning curve.

from the following working code, I cannot just simply replace the mysqli_query with a webassist recordset. And I cannot replace the while loop with a webassist version. Any pointers?

I was think since in the working code there is a $row = mysqli_fetch_assoc (without looking it up on Google this is basically an array counter) So therefore to get a webassist version working I could use: $row = array($rows);

php:
<?php require_once('../Connections/ecartdb.php'); ?>

<?php
header
('Content-Type: text/csv; charset=utf-8');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=emails.csv');

$output fopen('php://output''w');

$rows mysqli_query($ecartdb'SELECT NewsLetterEmail FROM newsletter');

while (
$row mysqli_fetch_assoc($rows)) {
fputcsv($output$row);
}
fclose($output);
    
?>



ok I got it working, is this the logical way of coding it:

php:
<?php require_once('../Connections/ecartdb.php'); ?>

<?php 
require_once('../webassist/mysqli/rsobj.php'); ?>
<?php
header
('Content-Type: text/csv; charset=utf-8');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=emails.csv');

$output fopen('php://output''w');

$rows = new WA_MySQLi_RS("rows",$ecartdb,0);
$rows->setQuery("SELECT NewsLetterEmail FROM newsletter");
$rows->execute();

while(!
$rows->atEnd()) {
    
    
$row = array($rows->getColumnVal("NewsLetterEmail"));


fputcsv($output$row);

$rows->moveNext();
}
$rows->moveFirst(); //return RS to first record
?>
