Default A Problem I can't solve yet

I have a client that dropped me a problem I'm having trouble solving.

They use a lot of MS Excel Spreadsheets. He has one that they fill out out over the phone with a client that includes about 50 different fields of information. He wants me to post the spreadsheet on his site (I've done this part w/ other spreadsheets for him, it's problematic, but doable), let the clients figure it out and then send the spreadsheet to his e-mail addy.

I tried to talk him into just a regular HTML form that will send the info to him, but he wants it come in as unique .xls spreadsheets

Anyone have any ideas on how to do this? Or if this can even be done on his Linux web server? I work with php and JavaScript mostly. But I did his website in FP2003 so he could do updates his self.

If nothing else got a nice simple way to explain to him that this is not easy task?
