So I have to make this fake form for uni SA. It needs to call a php file that sends all the information as a comma delimited file so that it can be read by a database program such as Microsoft Excel.
This is the html I've got so far:
I don't think it needs to be any better than the most basic of basic coding, meaning it doesn't need to be able to tell if everything has been filled out correctly or display any messages, but I suppose doing so would be extra credit.
Is the php as simple as this?:
Do I put a $_REQUEST thingy for every part of the form? Is it the same code for the radio buttons and did I do the buttons correctly? How exactly do you make it "comma delimited"?
Thanks in advance.
This is the html I've got so far:

Is the php as simple as this?:
<?php
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$comments = $_REQUEST['comments'] ;
mail( "fe[email protected]", "Uni Degree Qualifications",
$message, "From: $email" );
?>
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$comments = $_REQUEST['comments'] ;
mail( "fe[email protected]", "Uni Degree Qualifications",
$message, "From: $email" );
?>
Thanks in advance.
