    Hi guys, I'm looking for a little help here. I'm trying to create my first website and I want to add a form to collect e-mails. I found a good guide that explained the html part and I think I have that down. Here's basically what I'm going to use:

        <FORM ACTION="formmail.php" METHOD="POST">
    
        Name: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="Name" VALUE="" SIZE="25" MAXLENGTH="50"> <BR>
    
        Email: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="Email" VALUE="" SIZE="25" MAXLENGTH="50"><BR>
    
        <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="submit" VALUE="Sign Me Up!">
    
        </FORM>
    Code (markup):

    After that I'm pretty much clueless since I don't know a thing about php. All I know is I want to add a sign up and I want to use it to automatically collect e-mails that I can efficiently use for mass mailings. Any help is appreciated.

    You need to insert it all into a database, then write a script which will send an email to all of the entrys in the script. I can write one for you for $10. I've pm'ed you my MSN and Skype.
