Newsletter HTML Coding help?

Hi,

I wanna build an HTML newsletter email input...so customers can send their email to my gmail account and I can write a monthly newsletter!

I just have no idea where to start? I downloaded a web template and this is what I have so far....

<form style="margin:0" name="myForm11" id="myForm">
<input type="text" style="width:170px; height:20px; vertical-align:middle" class="input"><br><br style="line-height:8px ">
<a href="#" class="bel-norm">Unsubscribe</a><input type="image" src="images/but1.jpg" align="middle" style="margin-left:53px ">
</form>

do I need a PHP form as well?

Could someone be so kind and help me out?

Thanks!

 

to get the emailing to work, you could modify your code to look something like this:

(Note: add the red bits to your code)

<form style="margin:0" name="myForm11" id="myForm" [COLOR="Red"][B]method="post" action="mailto:youremail@email.com"[/B][/COLOR]>

...
[COLOR="Red"][B]<input type="submit" value="Send"> [/B][/COLOR]
...
</form>

Code (markup):

hope this helps.

Cheers

 

If you use this way, your email address is exposed to anyone. The best way is to send the data to a seperate PHP file and send the email from there.
Ex. Let's say your email processor is processemail.php.

Then the form code should be,

<form style="margin:0" name="myForm11" id="myForm" method="post" action="processemail.php">

...
<input type="submit" value="Send"> 
...
</form>

HTML:

Hope this helps
