HTML code needed for mailing list!?

Question

I need an HTML code for typepad that will enable me to set up a mailing list for people to join. Basically I need a code that will make a form where people can type in their name and e-mail address and that info will be sent to my e-mail address. Is this possible? Does anyone know a code that I can use? THANKS!

Answer 1

<?php

define('MY_EMAIL', '[e-mail]');

if (isset($_REQUESt['email'])) {

mail(MY_EMAIL, 'New Signup', $_REQUEST['name'].': '.$_REQUEST['email']);

echo "Mail sent.  Thank you.';

exit();

}

?>

<form method="post">

Name: <input type="text" name="name" />

E-mail: <input type="text" name="email" />

<input type="submit" />

</form>

Answer 2

You are referring to the use of a form and web form input. It's not as easy as it may sound as it involves your server (or a third party one), and some PHP programming.

Here's a tutorial (with the code) for a so-called 'simple' way of doing this yourself:

There are also much more comprehensive paid services available such as a full email message and response system including input forms for web pages as offered by Aweber.com and a couple of others for a small monthly payment.
