newsletter signup and automatic email sent

[gwh]

Hi everyone,

I have a newsletter subscribe form on a web page - just name and email input boxes and a submit button. I've got a subscribers table set up in phpMyAdmin but to get it all wired up, I was after a tutorial on how to do validate the form, check for duplicates in the table, insert the values into the table and then to have an email automatically sent confirm the subscription.

Just wondered if anyone knows of any tutorial either online or in a book that shows how to set this up?

Appreciate any tips/advice etc.

You might want to check out phplist. It basically does what you want i think.
