brain dead - document upload

Hi all,

I need to be able to allow users to download a local copy of a document so that they can fill it out offline and then upload it when they next log into the system.

The data in the uploaded document must be extracted so that the various fields are inserted into a database.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks in advance

Well,

It's pretty easy. If the information that you are colletcing is in a table format then, first of all you need to have a proper delimiter let's say "\t" and then a "\r" to start the next record. Then you will need php to open the .txt file and read it and start inserting it in the database...

That's it..
