I already have the HTML form built and I can provide an example of the excel file I want.
I need you to build me the code in php that will do all of this for me.

When the internet user completes the form online, I will receive an email with the attached spreadsheet with the form results. (That's all)
Inside the spreadsheet will be all of the data that user entered into the form.

You have to include two PHP libraries, I'm attaching the URL for their zip, just extract those into the folder where the form is. Here is the PHPmailer ( http://creativecp.com/dev/export-csv/PHPmailer.zip ) and the second one is PHPexcel ( http://creativecp.com/dev/export-csv/PHPExcel.zip )

Hi all.
Please feel free to send me demos. If I tried the code and it's succesfully, then you are the winner.
The email attachment should go a defined email in the code. The user never enters his email.
On the other hand, there was a mistake in the excel format in the brief. It said (XML) instead of saying XLS.
Lastly, the attachment name will be generate from a variable. Example:
name1.xls
name2.xls

Contest Holder - 8 years ago
it should be a readable format. Any format which I can open instantly. Perhaps .csv is not the best here
