HTML / PHP help.

[Davie_GLA]

Hello all,

I'm doing a bit for a friend of mine on their site. I've set up a mailing list for her and part of this includes a sign up form.

The site runs joomla and already has a user registration form as part of the make up, and i would like to include subscription to the email list if they check a box.

The registration form is already there, and i have everything for the mailing list sign up, but i can't think of how to get this to work.

Basically, if the box is ticked then the users first and last name, along with email address should be submitted to the list. As we are looking to populate 2 different databases, i'm not sure how this will hang together.

Reading that back it sounds a bit vague, but i hope you get the jist.

Any help is greatly received, i could of course have a second sign up process, but one is enough IMO.

Thoughts?

David.

Doing it in vanilla HTML/PHP is a lot different to doing it in Joomla.

Someone however will already have done it and the community is very supportive.

Yes, that was my next visit.

I wasn't sure as the mailer (Listmail) uses just HTML, but you're right, it will have been done already.

Look for the community, you won't even have to ask, topics will exists with exactly your problem.
