How do I let people subscribe to my Mailman list using a homemade PHP script?
On your webpage, you can have people fill out a HTML form to subscribe to your mailing list instead of having them visit the Mailman Subscription page. The following sample PHP code sends a subscription confirmation message to the email address the user submits.<?
if($_POST["Email"])
{
$maillist_address = "yourlist-join@yourdomain.com";
$subject = "";
$body = "";
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["Email"];
if (mail("$maillist_address",
"$subject",
"$body",
"$headers"))
{
print "Thank you. A subscription confirmation has been sent.";
}else{
print "The subscription request failed.n Perhaps the email is not valid orn
the mail server could not be contacted.n";
}
}
?>
<FORM method="post" action="<?= $PHP_SELF; ?>">
Subscribe my email address:
<INPUT name="Email" size="20" type="text" maxlength=100><br>
<INPUT type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
"your-list" is the name of your mailing list. If you don't know your list name, it is listed as the "public name" in the General Options section of your list administration page. "yourdomain.com" is the domain name you host at Modwest which uses the Mailman service.
