Anyone have any clever ideas on how to do this- databases/csv export isn't my big thing but I'm trying to help out a local public school.

They're having a carnival fundraiser- and in past years PTA parents have spent probably 40-80 hours tracking food pre-order forms that were physically filled out and ported into excel.

All I'm trying to do is:

1) Online signup for first/last name and quantites of several items (carnival tickets, hamburgers, etc) each with a price associated with it (ie hamburger @ $3 - quantity entered = 4 = $12)

2) Porting of this into CSV where 1 row is the registered person and each column is the label of 'things' (ie hamburger) and the registered quantity. Right most row gives the SUM TOTAL of $monies owed.

3) Ideally allow editing of submitted orders - not requred

4) A way to run a report showing current number of registrants (even if this just runs/compiles the CSV export and they view in excel.


Can something like Magento work for this? Ideally I'd like to customize something similarly designed- never worked with any traditional DB powered cart stuff before.

Any points in the right direction would be appreciated (and no, I cannot code the mysql/csv portion by hand hence the post/question)
 


you can do this in google docs ( docs.google.com | create new | form )

as people fill in the form, docs will enter the info into a spreadsheet
