<?php 
$con=mysql_connect("host","user","pass");
mysql_select_db("dbname");
$query="select columnname from table where condition";
$result=mysql_query($query);
$row=mysql_fetch_array($result);
$document_contents=$row['columnname'];
header("Content-Type: application/msword");
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="document.doc"');
echo $document_contents;
?>

Thats how you retrieve a document from a table.

Cheers.
