Email Form Subscribers into CSV

[SteveAudus]

A client would like to import information from an Email subscription page straight into a database, for his use.
He doesn't like the standard email he receives from the email form page.

He has requested that the email form page create and add to a CSV file on the web server, that he can download when he wants to get the latest subscribers. Is this possible?

Is this the best way to do this, or can any one suggest alternative.

Thank you for your help.

well a CSV file is basically a comma seperated values file.
the records will be like this

1,Record1
2,Record2
....

each column is seperated by a ,...

Sorry, but I know what a CSV file is!!!!

It was the process for creating one from an Email Subscription Web Page Form, that I was asking about.
but thank you for your reply.

Any other suggestions?

what info does this page capture? what i meant by the example above is create a file using asp or php or whatever u r using and fill in the values in the above format. it will work like a normal CSV...

The email subscription is at present html page with a form on it asking for
Email Address:
Full Name:
Date of birth:

The form just posts the information to an email to the client.

The client would like the information stored on the web server, he has requested it in csv format.
So he can download the file when he needs it, instead of email.

Is this possible?

Is this the best way to do this, or can any one suggest alternative.

I hope this clears up any miss understanding.

like i said in the page where u do the email instead of using writing code for sending mail write a code that will use FileScriptingObject to open a csv file and append the data to the csv file in this format:
emailaddress,name,dob

aint i still clear?

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

Could please give me an example,
because I have only ever written in html,
and I do not understand the "use FileScriptingObject"
bit of your suggestion.

Thank you very much for your help.
