But your question is different. Your solution is very easy. You can get the excel (CSV ) format without creating the database.

Name
Address,
Mobile no,
Email.

You can add more fields in the HTML form.

The excel file will contain the all HTML form field data.
$Content = "Name,address,mobileno,email\n";
//set the data of the CSV
$Content .= "$name,$address,$mobileno,$email\n";
//set the file name and create CSV file
