    I'm trying to figure out how I can get information from an online form (that is on my website) be sent to a database where the information is categorized and then can be exported to Excel or another program. Is there special php coding? If so, does anyone know where/how I can get it? Thanks for your time !:D

    well its a 2 step process

    1) Get form input into database - for this you need a script that takes your input to enter into database. try googling PHP for scripting and MySql for database - here is the first result(http://www.apluskb.com/scripts/How_can_I_send_form_answer3591.html)

    2) Once you have it in mysql. its pretty easy to export it as a CSV using phpmyadmin or any other MySQL GUI tool
