Putting form data into a spreadsheet. [SOLVED]

Post by koden530 »

Hello, so I have a request that I have never been asked before. My boss would like me to take form data and transform it into a spreadsheet as well as email the data to certain addresses. The E-mail part is easy. The hard part (if at all possible) is putting the form data into a spreadsheet.

I know Google docs can do it for you, which is where he got the idea from but is it possible to do in PHP. If so what is the code that is involved. I don't even know where to start with something like that. Thanks in advanced

What type of form data? A textarea? A grid of textboxes?

Yeah Just some basic text area information. Things like name: *user input*, email: *user input*.

There will be one piece of the form that is for a radio button answer. but that will be just as easy as the text boxes I'm sure. Just send the value as you would with the text box values.
