Export form submission to CSV and store on server

ltempest 26 May, 2016
Hello,
I'm trying to complete a form ready to go live. The form is built and running correctly.
However I need to export the form submission to a CSV file and store this CSV file locally on the web server, where it will be accessed by an external program for processing.

I have a save to DB action and a CSV export action in the On Submit, but when I fill in the form and submit it then asks me to download the file locally to my machine.

How can I change this so once the form is submitted, the csv file is saved locally on the server and not donwloaded to the end users PC?

Thanks

Lee

Hi Lee,

The standard action doesn't appear to let you 'just save' the file. I've sent you a PM with a link to my custom version whish should let you do that.

Bob,
Thanks for the reply and the custom version.

I've downloaded the zip file and when i open it this appears to be an action to update a Google Drive document and not save the CSV file to a folder on the web host server drive?

Have I got confused?

Also my browser is reporting this forum section of chronoengine,com as a hacked sited and warned me to get out of here! :-)

Hi Lee,

I've cleaned out a bunch of hacked files twice this week - at the moment I believe that the site is clean but it needs Max to double-check.

Apologies for the wrong link - I've emailed the correct one.
