template for use with godaddy database

[richlather]

Hi-

I am in need of a database for collection of a mailing list on a site I am maintaining. I know
html and css fairly well, but I'm not very knowledgable at all with MySQL or php.

I phoned Godaddy today and confirmed that I have use of 10 databases with the site for free.
Problem is that in order to use them I have to either pay Godaddy for use of their forms or to
create my own input form for use. I don't have a clue where to begin. Is there a standard template
out there anywhere for use with godaddy databases? Or does anyone have a clue how I can create a usable
php document for use with godaddy? All I need are fields for name and email address.

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.
Rich

There's nothing special about godaddy as a webhost, there's no specific godaddy way of doing it, any php\mysql form tutorial should get you started, if you encounter a specific problem, feel free to post it.

Obviously you dont know HTML fairly well.

I recommend Wordpress with some email submission plugins. But, lots of people cant comprehend that.

Or, look up "form to mail" on Google and handle an email list on your computer. There are a bunch of free email subscriber PHP scripts out there that handle remote lists via a database.

Me.... I'd go the Wordpress route. I know it works and its simple and powerful.
