How do I use a database-based mailing list?

119 Views Asked by At

I'm thinking of adding a mailing list to my webpage, where a user submits their email address, which is added to a table in a database on my server. After I set up all the PHP, how will I be able to actually send a newsletter to all the contacts?

Honestly, your best bet is to look at any number of mailing list tools (including free PHP applications like PHPList) to do this. There is actually a lot of things you need to consider in order to implement a mailing list tool - including things like bounce processing, user opt-out, etc.

There really is no sense in reinventing the wheel.
