I'm new to Dreamweaver, and am building a website. (Naturally.) It's going well so far.

But now I want to include a 'join mailing list' feature.

I have the box to enter email address, and the button that says 'submit'.

How do I get this button to submit the contents to my email addy?

Thanks in advance.

You need a script to do that.

Thanks - what kind of script?

You would need a php script to take the users information in field and send it over to your email. Php script is a server side scripting language.


In non-technical terms: a PHP processor is run on the server (Windows, or a flavor of UNIX). When a page is requested that contains PHP, the processor translates and executes all the commands in the page, and then outputs the result to the browser as regular HTML.
