    I'm constructing a diagnostic module. So basically some questions and answers. The output is user generated text variables. I'm trying to avoid the need to hook it into a database, so I really need an "on the fly" solution to export variables/user status into a format which would ultimately be a downloadable PDF(or at worst text document).

    ISP is no problem as this is a part of an enterprise system hosted by a big hosting provider. Problem will be if I want them to set up a database this will go out of scope of the project.

    I've also heard that php maybe an issue. So ideally, I'd look at ColdFusion, javascript, or "something else!!" Is there a way of exporting the data from flash into an xml file without going through a database? I've seen a php solution for creating a text file, but again, although I'm happy with php the client is hosting on a very strict platform which as far as I am aware is CF and possibly ASP .net (neither of which I am overly familiar with).
