Hey - to Mr. York and your readers.

this is clearly a follow-up to the previous post

I solved my own issue… I had only needed to go into the PHPMailer folder that is included with the .zip distribution and edit the “class.phpmailer.php” file to specify the content type as “text/html.” (duh)

Thanks again! I spent a long time searching to find this great work of yours and now I can stop, fully contented!

Great tool!

I find it incredibly easy to understand, highly organized, and totally utilitarian. I am very new to scripting and I was wondering if you would be able to give me details on how to use this to send html. I have phpmailer installed and configured correctly to send html, but I want to use your system. I have it configured correctly to send to a .csv mailing list, but I don’t see how to make it send html.

I would very much appreciate your help if you feel like hooking me up. I will continue to try and figure it out on my own.

Thanks again for what you’ve already provided to all of us on the internet!

This is what I’m using as well, it’s super simple and with basic php knowledge, you can customize and add stuff to it. For me I added an extra layer of protection inside instead of using .htaccess. Just found them through www.php.net and it’s easy peasy.

I searched for hours in the internet looking for a good yet simple and PLAIN PHP mailing script that users could subscribe to and unsubscribe to. I was also looking for a solution that didn’t use a MySQL DB because I didn’t need to have overly complex scripts. Plus, many of the solutions that I *did* find had CSS styles and all sorts of annoying ‘themes’ which was WAY more than what I needed. I’m not experienced with PHP so writting a script myself would have been a daunting task at best. Long story short, this script saved a lot of frustration and a lot of MONEY as I didn’t need to add a new SQL DB (or tack on to an existing one). It’s simple, it’s clean and it does exactly what it needs to do without extra ‘features’ that get in the way. There should be more ’simple’ projects like this one! Thank you for creating such an awesome yet simple script!

Yes, of course, I must give credit to my good friend “S-Dog”, who gave me the idea that I needed a simple mailing list for my site. At the time I just didn’t realize that I would have to write my own. Thanks S-Dog!

I feel like I should get some credit here. Not for any work I did…just for being your inspiration. How’s that song go?…”You’re my soul and my life’s inspiration…without you baby, what good am I?”…yeah something like that would be fine…uh, without the “baby”.
