Formatted form output

[php_dapper]

I have generated a job application form for a user to fill out when seeking employment with our company. The returned data is OK but the format is not user-friendly. Given that, I developed a php file that receives the user input and formats the data into a more readable document. My question is how can I take this system one step further and have the more readable php-generated format either turned into e-mail (HTML formatted) or saved as a file inside my website directory?

Thanks in advance,

Further:
I do not know how far you have got .... 😕

Readable document:
I do not know what data.
I do not know what data format, your new doc have

Bottomline:
We are good here.
But we are not magicians, that read minds or can do wonders.

Hi,

You can store all the generated output in a variable. (So, instead of using a echo or printf statement every time output is generated, you do something like:

$output .= "your output";

This output you can then, at the end of your scripts write to a file and echo to the screen (So the user gets'to see what was saved).

If you save as HTML file, consider using cascading stylesheets (CSS) for formatting.
