<?php $fd = fopen("/tmp/myformoutputdirectory/".md5(microtime()).".txt","w+"); fputs($fd,implode("|",$HTTP_POST_VARS)); fclose($fd); ?> caveats ... it just assumes you'll figure out the output from the form data -- filenames will be random .txt files written to the /tmp directory (which avoids all kinds of permission problems I'd otherwise need to discuss). uses the "|" (pipe) character instead of commas so you can have commas in the output itself ... I believe that Excel allows you to choose the delimiter, so that shouldn't be a problem. I did no error checking on the open or put statements ... you really should in a production script.
