Sending form data as CSV.

[Coogan]

Hi Folks,

I am looking at designing a web form that captures data and then emails me the data in a csv file.

1. Is this possible?
2. If it is then are there any good articles on how to do it?

The site will be hosted on a Microsoft 2000 server so if I have not posted this in the right forum please can some one point me in the right direction.

Many thanks

More importantly than your database backend....

You are intending on writing this in PHP?

yes its possible,
Step 1:
1. get the data from the form and write it to a csv file using normal file functions.
2. use the mail() function send the email.
note: since u r attaching files u have to use the correct headers...

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

For making easier the sending of complex emails from PHP, I recommend the PHPMailer class.
