subscribe to newsletter?

Hello people:
How can i make a "form" where someone types in their email to receive a newsletter?
(eg.) http://www.shadowness.com/news.html
i am using dreamweaver and ... do i need any other programs or what? where do the emails that are typed in go to? detailed info would be greatly appreciated. peace and blessings.

You can do it in normal formmail forms, but that'll be tedious work
Go to hotscripts.com and find newsletter/mailing list scripts

If you don't have a CGI or PHP enabled server, use the hosted ones

http://www.skriptkiddie.org

simple mailinglist script [ php ]

do i just put the code into my Dreamweaver HTML source?

yes..
example: within a iframe you put subscribe.html (sub.html - you will see this file once you downloaded the script and unzipped it)

and your host must support php

thanks, and... i put the sub.html in a frame ... what is supposed to happen once someone types in their email? my hosting company is hostsave, i dont know if they support PHP ... im using dreamweaver so i'm lost as in how would i know who signed up and hwo would they receive the newsletter ... is there email supposed to be fowarded to me or something?

first of all, everything is explained in the readme.txt

make sure your host uses php.. how ?

1. contact them and ask them.. simple

2. put the following lines in your editor [ dreamweaver ]


< ? php
phpinfo();
? >

without the spaces


so only this lines are in the source.

and save it as a .php file, info.php for example

then you open your browser and go to http://www.yourhost.com/info.php

then you will see all the info on the server. [ if the server is setup correctly imo ]

when you know for sure that your host supports php then do exactly wath they say in the readme.txt
after that you open sub.html and see the subscribe and unsubscribe option with a inputfiled and a submit button.


hope this will help ya.
