Adding a subscribe form could not be easier with MailList Controller. The program contains a built-in form tool, which will build the HTML form and the php-script for you. The form is based on HTML and php, which ensures that the form will work on most servers without any problems. The tool will add the form code to your webpage and will also create the required php-script. The script will process the form and sends the input from the user to the lists email address. The program will receive the subscribe/remove request during the next list synchronization (Sync).

How to start?

Please click on "HTML Webform Generator" in the section "Member Lists"
and follow the instructions on the screen.

What kind of forms can I create?

The form generator allows you to create forms to subscribe, remove and a combination of both. You don't need to worry about any settings, the html webform generator will pick the correct settings directly from your "List Settings".
The form can also be used to populate your custom fields for personalization, which makes it ideal for data gathering.

HTML file and php-Script

Add the text AMLC-WEBFORM on the desired position, e.g. with your html editor and select the html file in the program. Simply type in AMLC-WEBFORM, there is no complicated coding required. Click on "Select HTML File" and select the file on your local hard-disk. If the file is already online on your webserver, then please download the file - e.g. using FTP - first.

Result-Page and Apperance of the Form

Finally you can change the apperance of the form and define what page should be shown after the user has submitted the information. This should be some kind of "thank you" page, so that the user knows that he has subscribed to your list (or removed).

Upload the HTML and the PHP-File

Finally upload both files to your web - e.g. using FTP - and test it. Fill out the form using your own email-address and click on "Subscribe". Now run MailList Controller and synchronize (click on "Sync"). The program will synchronize by default every 60 minutes (this can be changed in the "Options") or when you click on "Sync".
