Newsletter Script

bennyong · #1 (**permalink**) 02-05-2006, 12:23 PM

Greetings All,

I am on the look out for a good free newsletter script for my site Tele88.co.uk and Soscili.com.

Anyone have any recommendation?

Thanks.

Benny Ong

What features are you looking for?

If you just want to collect email addresses and send bulkmail to them - a 5 minute php/mysql script should do fine. Read upon these functions:
mysql_query() - including SELECT and INSERT syntax, mail(), while, and mysql_fetch_array().

Is there a ready made php/MySQL script that I can instantly implement and I intend to send HTML e-mails.

I am also unfamiliar with HTML E-mails yet.

you would need autoresponder for that.

or code a php and run cron invoking your code at some time interval of your choice.

You can try cutenews at http://cutephp.com/cutenews/

I use it on my site: http://www.prplus.info

Thanks for all your answers and suggestions.

I am looking for a newsletter manager that will allow visitors to subscribe and unsubscribe.

I won't mind paying for one if there is a good script but a free solution is still top choice.

Thanks again

Using sendstudio now.

http://www.interspire.com/sendstudio/

It supports opt in and opt out...I will say its a nice software which cost less than USD300.

Benny, so what did you end up using?

I was using PHPlist. It is free and easily installed thru Fantastico (if your webhost provides it).

bennyong · #14 (**permalink**) 09-07-2006, 12:45 AM

I am using Send Studio by Interspire.

The downside to it is that it stores only e-mail addresses and not the name of the subscriber as well. I am figuring out a way to catch that information and store it together with the e-mail.

Still working on it.

Take care...

Benny Ong
