Can somebody explain how I create a mailing list? And also how they work? When they submit their Email Address into the form, it emails you their address, and you just write it down or whatever for when you send out an email for news?

Thanks.

I can’t believe I never thought about how friggin easy that would be… on a side note though, what would happen if there was an error sending an email? Ie: the e-mail address doesn’t actually exist?

```php

include 'config.php' /*Mysql Connection is done */
result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users"); /*Returns all the users. For ex:500 */

set_time_limit(0); /*Unlimited execution time for the script */

/*Sends mail to returned users */
while($rs=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
mail($rs[email], "My Subject", "Line 1
Line 2
Line 3");
}

```
