mailing list.

[Anon]

Okay, This isn't something that I plan on using or mabye using in the future. But, as of right now, I just think it would help me along with learning php and, I'd imagine, simple(?) MySQL. Am I right?

Well, I don't know...

But, anyways, how exactly would I go about doing this. With an input box and a submit button. They type their e-mail in the input box, click submit, and add their e-mail to a database in which I can use as a mailing list... Pretty basic.

This is a very simple thing to do, and once you see it, I'm sure you'll get it.

Simply create your form containing the input box for the email and the submit button. Set the form action to process your PHP script, i.e. form action=http://yoursite.com/phpscript.php.

Inside your php script, set up your database connection information.

$user = "yourusername";
$pass = "yourpassword";
$db = "yourdatabase";

$link = mysql_pconnect("localhost",$user,$pass);

mysql_select_db($db);

$query = "INSERT INTO tablename (FieldName) VALUES ('$InputTextBoxName')";

mysql_query($query, $link);
mysql_close($link);

Hope this helps.
