ok I followed Not2Sure’s [PHP Form Mailer](http://www.kirupa.com/web/form_mailer.htm) and got it to work and everything but now how do I send e-mails to anyone who has signed up? Also I’d like it to send an e-mail to their e-mail address when they sign up. Any help is appriciated. btw, I have no php expirence.

if you have one of your text fill which is for email addresses named as “Email”, then u can simply add another mailing line after the line that mails to you…
like…
```php
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);
mail($Email, $vistorsubject, $visitormsg, $visitorheaders);
```
make sure u declare these visitor variables too…if not ur visitor will get a blank mail…
to make something like a newsletter wher eu can send emails to all who had signed up, u can create a text file and then log emails into each line in the text file when visitors sign up.
when send, u use the array() function to help to get to each of the lines(which are the email addresses of course) and put it into a loop to send to all the emails.

honestly i didn’t find it helpful at all ☹ you don’t explain any of the major code
```php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
$msg .= ucfirst ($key) ." : ". $value . "
";
}
}
else {
foreach ($_GET as $key => $value) {
$msg .= ucfirst ($key) ." : ". $value . "
";
}
}
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);
if ($forward == 1) {
header ("Location:$location");
}
else {
```
there’s no explanation, the only use the tutorial serves is to copy and paste.
not trashing your tute bro, just being honest

I followed the tutorial on how to make the PHP mailer perfectly and I can’t do it. After I paste in the text, then edit the specifications to my own fitting, and insert it into mailer.php and save it, then do I open up a new page and start posting the forms to fill the stuff up?
