OK, What I wanna do is have a textbox at the bottom of the page that you type your email in and when you click send next to it, it sends a preset message to [email protected] that says something like "[email protected] has signed up for the newsletter. please add them to your address book!"

ASP, PHP, or CGI?
Using a server side language, you'd retrieve the email address the viewer puts in, and sends an email to whatever.com address.
Now, what language? Each one has their own respective forum ;)
Try K-ML : http://www.katarncorp.com/?kml

He didn't ask for a prebuilt script. I think he wants to do it himself. You know...code and whatnot.Quote:

Hmm... well, I have a job, so I don't get much time to write scripts for others. I can help you with your script though.Quote:

How well do you know PHP?
I'll give you a basic overview of it first:
On a page, you'll have a little box where the user can enter their email address. The next page, which is the form's action, will just have to use the mail() function to send an email to the spammer-guy. Now the mail function takes a couple of arguments.
$to is obvoius.PHP Code:mail("$to", "$subject", "$msg", "$headers");
$subject is obvious
$msg can be set as an HTML string, and would look something like this:
PHP Code:$msg = "
<HTML>
<BODY style='font-family:Arial, Verdana, Tahoma; font-size:12px;'>
<b>Hi!</b><br>
You are an idiot. <b>$subscribersemailaddress</b> should be added to your address book. He wants to get spammed by you!
</BODY>
</HTML>
";
And set the $headers like this:
(Because that'll enable you to send an HTML email)PHP Code:$headers = "From: $yourname <$youremail>\nReply-To: $youremail\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";
Hmm... I may have inadvertantly written some of the script for you, but I'm sure you'll be able to figure out the rest. If you need more help, post again. :)
Not well. But what you said made general sense. :cool:Quote:
