[HELP?] Creating a Mailing List with PHP

[323]

It would be similar to how you make a phisher. It would take the email and save it into a text document after they click submit, but it wouldn't be used for malicious reasons. I would just copy the text document's contents onto my email sending list and use that to send large emails. I was wondering how to do this because I didn't feel like signing up for one of those mailing list services =/ And I figured "Hey, why not try out some PHP?"

So, can anyone help? xD

Thanks,

I suggest you use a database to store emails instead of a text file, or at least make the text file inaccessible to other users. Look up MySQL and PHP tutorials. W3school might be a good place to start.

Or you could use a 3rd party system like Mailchimp. An amazing system that allows you to manage lists, send out campaigns and gives you a range of reports/statistics upon each delivery. They have a great API that allows you to store emails easily.

Ooh that actually sounds pretty good

Yeah, I haven't been able to find any tutorials on that >.< I kind of suck at that kind of thing

The w3school tutorials walk you through all the basics of PHP. That should be enough to build your own basic mailing list script.
