A database table is also another option, then you could edit entries via something like phpMyAdmin in your web host control panel, or you could make your own admin panel. It just depends how much effort you want to put in.

There are PHP database management scripts out there such as https://www.adminer.org and http://phpminiadmin.sourceforge.net for you to edit an existing database but you’d have to devise the structure and write the code for the web page to communicate with the backend.

Alternatively, you could try a ready-made form and database management application such as Form Tools, which handles form-to-db communication and stores submissions separately, where you can edit via a backend admin panel and export into Excel https://formtools.org

You would need to research more to test capabilities and see what suits your needs.
