Saving form data to a csv file - Post...
Hi
I am building a paypal form for a charity and I would like to be able to download a list of names of everybody who has used the forms (i.e a copy of the data in the form). This is to ensure I know who has paid. I am trying to stay away from MYSQL as it seems to technical. I have set up a test form which is should be saving to form-results.csv but when I submit the form I get nothing.
I have tried adding the csv file to the root directory and then set off the form and when I down load the file its emty.
I am sure I am missing something can anyone point me in the right direction

Hi there Sean welcome to the forums.
Not sure about the data base part but you can set up the email options of the web form so it emails you the form data automatically. Then you can cross reference the email from Paypal with the email from the form. Hope that makes sense.

The csv file that the form will generate will be in the myfromname/stroage/csv/ directory. It will be named form_results.csv if you kept the original name.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Hi Steve and Eric
Thanks for the prompt response, I am already getting an email notification, and Eric I found file. Thanks to you both. One more question. Say I have 10 people I need to pay a bill for an activity, All pay by the CC form builder. When I download the .csv will all 10 contacts and time of payment (depending on the form) be in the CSV. This would mean I could send the file to the the leaders responsible so they know who has paid.
Thanks in Advance
