RE: [PHP-DB] web to access/excel

Hi Russ, Try this package: http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com/browse.html/package/237 You need to register for free to gain access, but this package is supposed to write Excel binary files.

One of our departments urgently requires such functionality to increase processing times of student enquiries. At present the information from the students is in a non-standardised format in the form of an email that has to be processed by hand. The data needs to be formalised from a structured online form, and inserted into an access/excel type 'environment' that current (non-web technical) administrators are familliar with. Any suggestions are most welcome. Again I apologise for the cross posting but this is a pressing matter, that requires I find a pointer to a solution, or an actual solution as fast as I can!
