I want to set up an email newsletter but am not sure where to start or what i need to learn. I know I will need a from, but how do I set up the coding to add the new person to the list? Do I need a scritping language like php or javascript? Any help or direction on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanx.

Thanx meloco32! I will time later today(gotta work) to look at the code and I may have few questions. Thanx again, Daniel
************************************ How does the user's info get to the database? which part of the code performs that function? Do I need info from my hosting company? And what do I need to get the newsletter to everyone? More specifically, what do I need to change in the code? |

If you re-download the files I commented all the code so you can open it with a site editor and kind of see what it does. the only things you need to change in the code is your SQL database info inside of db.php. If you don't have an SQL server from your host you can get one from 000webhost.com. after you have the settings correct just upload to your server run dbsetup.php and everything should be set up. after that index.php is the file to add people to the database. all you have to do is enter the email in the box and press 'sign up'. send.php is the file you will use to actualy send emails to the people signed up. Both of these files can be put anywhere on your site by simply adding the code to your current site and changing the file extension to .php. If you do this just make sure db.php is in the same directory. Download |
