Okay - Not sure if you have your answer yet. However, dreamweaver actually makes this pretty easy.

1) Set up the MySQL database in your hosting control panel.
2) The open edit site information in the dreamweaver - in the advance setup option - go to testserver page. Enter this information. (if you do not know what it is set it up witht the ftp info first and see if it works)
3) The open a php page. On the insert tool bar click the applications tab and the second to last button is "Record Insert Form"
4) Follow the steps.

If you still have a question email me and I will help you.

oh yeah. lol sorry.

if you still dont know what MySQL is; then here's an example. if you know the forum UBB... it uses file based database. MySQL is something that was made to store information LIKE this; but much better.

I would just like to point out that MYSQL is not the same as php and asp. MySQL is essentially the database. Php and asp are programming languages used to interface with the database. Granted there is a syntax for using MySQL, but without php, asp or jsp (maybe?); you cant really do a whole lot.

1. it wont be difficult to create what you want.
2. after you submit the form information you can direct it to submit.php or something and insert the data into the database.
3. just create a file that calls the information from the database and use whichever mail function for the particular language.
4. yeah pretty much.

i think what you want is a newsletter script. check hotscripts.com for mailing list programs.

also, check out devarticles and read the articles. they are a great source for learning and pretty much on a basic level of getting into what you want.
