I have to create a couple of competitions on a client’s website pretty swiftly.
Usually I use a Mailchimp form requiring double opt-in. However, in this instance I just want a simple name/email/code form with no email double opt-in.
Can anyone suggest the simplest/quickest way to achieve this.
The website is hosted on the client’s head office server and getting support from them is very difficult.
I want to download the information in a spreadsheet.
There is or was a way to do this with Google Docs, I know I’ve answered those a couple of times in the past. I am not sure if you can have a public form and a private spreadsheet, though. The ones I saw, I could see the list of responders, even though I wasn’t the owner of the spreadsheet (I was just one of the responders, in other words).
Have you tried using PHP Feedback Form on this particular server? If it works, that would be the simplest way to do this that I can think of.

You should be able to have a public form and a private spreadsheet. Here’s the Google article on the subject;

I have a copy of the Action that I forked from an earlier version that collects the form data in a CSV file on the server. It requires a bit more set up than the Google solution (above) but if you don’t have any luck with that let me know and I’ll dig the action out.
