Hi
I am trying to add an email box to my website. I would like it go into an excel file. I have read about PHP but I am not sure if there is certain code that I should be using.

You need to learn how to configure an MTA and mail delivery agent such as procmail. Linux experience wouldnt hurt.

If you need to write to and/or read from Excel files, then I'd recommend
PHPExcel

You kidding? Assuming his website is hosted with a regular provider, php's built-in
mail function is probably all he needs.

It's for outgoing mail. I think
dms1981 wants a mail box for incomming mail, though it's not very clear what he wants indeed

Oh, haha ok

I thought 'email box' as in 'email editbox' i.e. and input field in a form, to set up an email form or something.
