[php] Simple Newsletter Script

This tutorial will give you the code needed and tell you how to implement it.

First off you need to create a file called mailing.php this will be the file that processes the adding of emails to the list.
CODE
<?php
$email = $_POST['email'];
$file = fopen("mailing.txt", "a");
fwrite($file, "\n" . $email);
fclose($file);

header("Location: mailing_thankyou.php");
?>


Next you need to create a file called mailing_thankyou.php, simple a page thanking them for signing up.

Now create a file called mailing.txt with nothing in it, when uploaded to the server set it writable (chmodd 666 or 777).

Now you need to form for teh people to enter their email address, put this on any page
CODE
<form action="mailing.php" method="post" class="style16">
<input type="text" name="email" size="30" value="your email here!">
<input type="submit" value="GO!" name="submit">
</form>


Now you need a file to send the newsletter, create a file called anything you want.
CODE
<?php
$send = $_POST['send'];
if($send){
        $email = $_POST['email'];
        
        $emailfile = file_get_contents("mailing.txt");
        $emaillist = explode("\n", $emailfile);
        
        foreach ($emaillist as $value)
        {
        mail($value, $_POST['subject'], $_POST['message'], "From: $email");
        }
        
        echo "<b>Email sent!</b><br />";
}
?>
<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
  <table width="481" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
                <tr valign="top">
                  <td width="84" align="right" valign="top" class="style32">Subject:</td>
                  <td width="397" align="left" class="style32">
                      <input name="subject" type="text" id="subject" size="41" maxlength="100">
                  </td>
                </tr>
                <tr valign="top">
                  <td width="84" align="right" valign="top" class="style32">From:</td>
                  <td align="left" class="style32"><input name="email" type="text" id="email" size="41" maxlength="100"></td>
                </tr>
                <tr valign="top">
                  <td align="right" valign="top" class="style32">Message:</td>
                  <td align="left" class="style32">
                      <textarea name="message" cols="37" rows="4" id="message"></textarea>
                  </td>
                </tr>
                <tr valign="top">
                  <td align="right" valign="top" class="style32">&nbsp;</td>
                  <td align="left" class="style32">
                      <input name="send" type="submit" id="send" value="SUBMIT">
                      <input name="Reset" type="reset" id="Reset" value="RESET">
                  </td>
                </tr>
  </table>
</form>


Thats you all done, to send the newsletter, simply go to the file you just created fill in the spaces, and click send, there is no warning/confirmation. so check before you send!

Please note: I will be improving on this script as time goes on, hopefuly to make it able to remove people from the list too, So check back soon!

Thank you so much. I am a dunce when it comes to PHP (I can understand it, but writing it is a different matter).

You would not believe the extenct of which I have searched the Internet trying to find such a script.

However, is it a flat file php script? There seems to be no mention of database, after all, wouldn't it need a database connection to retrieve the list of people who are signed up?

First of, I am exactly the same as you, I know how PHP works, what it can do, and I can easily edit php scripts, but writing my own is hord, I'm still learning but I know the basics and more.

Secondly, This scripts is flat file, all emails are saved in mailing.php (each on a new line), I am currently working on the part to search through that file and remove emails from the list.

    which it is run from. For instance, if you run it from the public_html folder, then all the files
    (not the Directores) are listed and linked so when you click on the link, that file is parsed and
    output to the browser. Here is the code: "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

    create a list from several folder names and, more importantly, the script reads the list of links
    from a 'flat file' rather than depending on the name of the folder to be hard coded in the

  10. Verifying Email Addresses

    entered is actually an email address. There is no guarantee offered that this will stop every single
    fake email address, but it'll provide some protection. Now, the code! First we need to get
    the email address to verify. Here, I get it using POST from an HTML form. CODE <?php //Load
    email address from web form $email = $_POST['email']; Now, we move on
    to our first check. Does the text that has been entered look like it could b....

  12. Random Quote Script
    (6)
    Here's a little random quote script that you can use to randomly choose from an array of quotes
    you provide. It's very easy to use on any page as it's an external script, you just call it
    from your page. I wouldn't use it for any more than about 50 quotes though, it would probably
    slow your site down too much. Here's the code: var ar = new Array(44) ar = "Do not meddle in
    the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger." ar = "Faithless is he that says
    farewell when the road darkens." ar = "I cordially dislike allegory in all its ....

  17. Email Script/form With Php
    how to make a simple email script using php (35)
    Today, I'm going to show you how to make an email script using PHP and HTML. Most people usually
    put Email me if they want an email link on their site, but there are several cons to this.
    First, it's very inconvenient for those people who use web-based mail such as Yahoo!,
    Hotmail, or Gmail because that darn Micro$oft Outlook program comes up if one accidently click
    the link. Second, you are very suseptible to spam bots because they scan your HTML source code for
    anything with the same pattern as an email address and add it to their database. If yo....
