script to enter name & email & then some...

**Dave Zan** · 01-05-2004, 06:43 AM

hi everyone!

What HTML code do you input in a website to allow a person to enter his/her name & email, clicks submit, and sends the name & email to my mailing list email address like freereport@freereport.com?

I'll be asking followup questions as time goes by....

Thanks everyone!

Are you using PHP or ASP? Your mailing list - who is it managed by?

PHP. My mailing list manager is Mailman.

I'm not good at this, of course. So I'm trying to learn & figure out how to code my website that'll accomplish this.

In short, I need to be sadly spoon-fed.

<form method="post" action="addscript.php">
Name: <input type="textbox" name="name">
Email: <input type="textbox" name="email">
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>

then addscript.php would be
would be the script name to add the user

I'm not sure how the mailing list script works but adam_uk gave you the form to use. Except, your going to want to use:

Code:

<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="text" name="email">

Instead of textboxes.

dunno why i typed textboxes, i always use text as well oh well

hi,

try this

PHP Code:

  <?php

 
// $to = who the mail is going to

// $subject = this message subject

// $message = the mail message to send

// $from = who is sending this message (also = Reply-To)

 
 
function send($to, $subject, $message, $from, $file, $type) {

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/16549-script-enter-name-email-then-some.html
 
$header = "From: $from\r\n";

$header .= "Reply-To: $from\r\n";

$header .= "X-Priority: 3 (low)\r\n";

$header .= "X-Mailer: <Ya-Right Mail Server>\r\n";

$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";

$header .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"ISO-8859-1\"\r\n";

$header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\n\r\n";

 
 
mail($to, $subject, "your body goes here", $header);

 
return true;

}

 
 
?>

thanks for your replies, everyone!

Ok, I think I'm making headway with this. First off, I need to know what HTML code or thingamajig I need to input in my site that'll do this:

After a person enters his/her name & email and clicks submit, my website should send the info to my mailing list email freereport@freeport.com. I analyzed my mailing list manager and I think it currently allows only opt-in via email.

I'll post as soon as I get more info on this.

Once my site is up, I'll post it for all of you to behold and tear apart!

Again, thanks everyone!
