Database for Marketing Question

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping you can all help me out here, i have pretty advanced knowledge of how to put a web site together but the database side of things i don't know therefore i need help.

A friend of mine has contacted me about designing a website for him. This website is for marketing purposes therefore it would collect data input by the site visitors.

The questions on this site might be for example

* First Name
* Surname
* D.O.B
* Address
* Email
* Telephone number


What i want is for when the user submits the form that the answers go into a database, to where he is able to download the information in MS Excel. Im pretty sure this is possible but my question is how??

Thanks in advance for any help received.

it certainly is

how? using an application language like php, coldfusion, jsp, asp, ...

let me know which one you're planning to use, and i will move this thread to the appropriate forum

move it to php please
