I have prepared an html form (with 16 fields...name address etc.) which will be uploaded and reside on my rented web server. Clients will enter my URL, fill out the form and submit. How can I retrieve this, basically flat file data, from the web server after the clients have submitted the data? I want to retrieve it in CSV format, or be able to easily convert it to CSV format.

I would be happy to buy a book or study several tutorials to learn what to do. Can you point me in the right direction.

I have looked on line for articles and books that would guide me.

Why couldn't you just have an admin URL that downloads the file directly through the website?

A CSV file is just a text file, one record per line with a delimiter character between fields, usually a tab or comma, but can be other characters like |, with string fields enclosed in double quotes.
