I was wondering the easiest way to send contact form information to a web database, and perhaps store it in a excel type document...

Good luck storing it in an excel document. Luckly, excel reads comma seperated files (csv), so you could easily use one of those in conjunction with some of the file functions in php.

Best way to send it to a database would probably mySQL. Check the tutorial section here and php.net for more info.

I've read stuff dealing with Excel and PHP before...

Isn't it amazing how many results you can get from simply searching?

Come on guys, is that anyway to treat a new member? He has one post and you're already giving him flack for not searching... have a little more respect.

p.s. In my defense, phpfreaks is using a tab seperated file, i suggested csv... same thing :)
