How do I access My CSV File

[Padiwak]

Hi Guys

Sure this is a really silly question but if I create a form and then tick box for it to save information to csv file and select name contactus.csv and create it in a file call database what would be the url of the csv so I can access the information in it.

I'm sure the answer is obvious but having done all of the above I can not find the form.

You dont create a FILE called database.. you have to go to mysql in cpanel and CREATE the database along with the FIELDS in your form to populate the database.. then you must also have a script that connects the information to the database.

How strange.

Because when I create a form on a site, in the properties section it has a tick box labeled "Write form data to csv" if you tick the box it allows you to name the file with default name ./filename.csv it then allows you to ftp the created file to a folder (Which i suppose I could call DATABASE if I wanted to)

My question was how do I then access the information.

From your answer it appears that this whole procedure is a waste of time and the information is either not saved or is inaccessable IS THAT CORRECT.

Thank you
