messaging system

[kloplop321]

I would like a php script that people can enter their email in and the php will validate it, then if the leader of the site wants to send a mass message to all the members of an event for instance then they can recive it. It will also set part of the page showing the lates message or news. Also i would like a code for the password for the script so non-admins cannot even visit the form that can send the message. Thanks for your efforts.

No, its a clan type of thing for a game.

Do you want it as a internal messaging system, or to go to their email inbox?

[kloplop321]

to their inbox. Not like a Personal Message system that most forums have, this is just a message to everone type of thing.

you want to make a mailing list?

the easiest way out would be to just look for free mailing list software. i'm sure you could find something good.

[kloplop321]

yes, but, would the mailing list software have the admin restricted mailing function?? That is what i want.

I don't know what an "admin restricted mailing function" is. if you mean you only want administrators being able to send mail using your mailing list, then yes, of course that is possible as well. I don't think any developer of a mailing list software would be stupid enough to not require some type of authentication to stop the average user from spamming your mailing list. if you some how find yourself without any authentication, you can always use an htaccess file to require a valid login to access the directory containing your mailing list script.

Yes, true, I likes the way you said
