Jack's question about whether a database is linked to the HTTP server is
the key. If it is, you can generate order dates easily, filter out empty
orders, generate labels, etc. Just have a well-designed DB model. :-)
If it was me, and I just had a file like the one in your post (with no
live DB), I'd write a simple program. It would run offline, would read the
file and write the data to a database. Many PC databases (e.g., Access)
come with address label printing templates.
For a really SIMPLE demo of an online order entry system, try:
http://w3.sba.oakland.edu/champion_orders/login.html
Try user name "okla" and password "waters". This was created just to play
with, and it has at least one bug (if you leave out a customer's phone
number - will fix it sometime).
