I want to have a members only area of my site and only give access to people that subscribe to my newsletter. I can do this easily enough by protecting the directory and adding users manually to it, bit I’d like to find a way to add the user and assign the password automatically and generate at email back to the users email telling them their login info. Is there a 3rd party tool that can accomplish this? So I want a user to fill out a web form, have that automatically add them to my mailing list as well as give them access to my members only directory, and generate an email back to them with the login credentials. Of course, I would want them removed if they opt out.

My newsletter management software can’t do this, and I haven’t found one that can.

Where can I find a free open source PHP mass-mailing system which allows for the creation of multiple mailing list owners each with the ability to have multiple mailing lists?

Thanks.

I need a free web host for testing purposes. It can be a subdomain. What I need also is it to have email. So far I’ve tried freehostia and byethost and they both do not have free email. Or maybe I’m not doing it right. If someone knows how to use free email on freehostia or byethost or if they know of a host that has free email, please let me know.
Thank you.

I want to make a free email service like hotmail or yahoo or myway is there anyway I can do that and do it for free? I want to make one of these sites

I want the form to send me information about the user that is uploading a file to my ftp site…

Hi friends. I need your help once again
I have made a form for my SIte which have fields “Name, Company, Message , etc.”. The page is in HTML, I want that, whenever anyone add some info in it and click “Submit” button. It will send an Email to me. Is it possible without making a database. Plz give details. Some example scripts if you can or links. (no PHP Script please)
I am using Javascript. If you can give some details with example link. i will be really thankful.

When people sign upto my site it should send them an email talling them their password etc. How do i change the php.ini file to send all mail from my sites email. How do you get the php.ini file too?

These functions in PHP do not work for me
I am using 1and1 to host my sites.
How can I go about making it all work?

I want to eventually host my websites at my own place… What things do i need to download in order to make PHP work? Will I run into the same problems as above?

I am trying to edit an existing script that I have fund for a simple mailing list, now the list will post to a flat file but I need it to validate the address before and then if valid it will direct to the thankyou page.

Here is the original code:

$email = $_POST['email'];
$file = fopen("mailing.txt", "a");
fwrite($file, "\n" . $email);
fclose($file);

header("Location: hankyou.php");

?>

I had found a snippet for validation but I can’t get it to work:

if(eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $email)) {

echo "Valid email address.";

}

else {

echo "Invalid email address.";

}

?>

I am trying to learn php but am in the early stages so help would be appreciated on this.
If you can could you provide the correct code so I can see where I am going wrong.

Thanks

If I send someone a HTML email, can it include a VBScript that automatically opens the email attachment. If so, how would I do this? A web link would be nice. If there web browser prohibits this, is there a way to bypass those security restrictions to allow this? Thank you!
