Hello. I am planning to offer some free products to my visitors in return of their email address. I need some sort of submit form in my sidebar. This form should input their email and put it in a database. Is there any PHP mailer script which can do this ? Like i will get an admin panel to send mass emails to my list. Thanks.
I think you require 2 items: 1) creation of a form (this can be done quite easily) 2) sending emails to lots of people - This can be done by MailChimp (free up to certain level i believe).
There's PHPList - it's free an Open Source: http://www.phplist.com/. As for the subscription part, look at their docs (only a bit of HTML knowledge is required): http://docs.phplist.com/CustomSubscribeForm If you'd like I can point out other (commercial) solutions. But from my experience phpList works just fine. Good luck!
You not only need to create a form (in HTML, CSS and Javascript), you need to send it to a PHP page that saves it to your database. Then you need any standard PHP mailer script, rewritten to get the addresses from your database.
i user php mailer script. its free and it usess smtp and basic mail scrpts you can download it from http://phpmailer.worxware.com/ it will solve all your proglems and the power is you can attach images and files the bundle includes the sample email scripts so see the sample emails
Thanks a lot for your suggestions mates. I am trying to figure out how PHPlist works. I am still waiting for something simpler Thanks
