seppy Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Hey everyone , I am really interested in putting a mailing list on my website. I have only just discovered php and mysql and I found a program called php list on my cPanel X control panel on my website. I would like to put a text box on my navigation bar that has inside it "enter your e-mail" (when they click this disappears) and a button on the right of that which says "join" (I will have a jpg underneath this text box saying "Mailing List"). When someone clicks on "join" I would like them to get sent to a page with the e-mail address field filled out in the right table with what the address they entered in the navigation pane, along with a name field they can fill out and a Submit button. I have seen these on many websites so I assume it is not that hard to do, but I am pretty lost as to how everything is connected (the database (mysql?) and the php list program). I assume when they click submit it will send their details to a mysql database / send them a confirmation e-mail. I was wondering what code I will need to make this system work, as I have been reading and googling and I am quite lost as to the mechanics of how it all works ??? :'(. Any help is appreciated! Thanks, - Sepp. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/65193-wanting-to-start-a-mailing-list/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
