    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

    Thanks!

    It should only be .xml file OR can be any excel file?

    • 8 years ago
    1. ewhttp

      • 8 years ago

      it should be a readable format. Any format which I can open instantly. Perhaps .csv is not the best here
