Need a Little Code Help
Those who know me know that I am not much of a coder any more. Sure, I can hack up something existing to suit my needs, and I can look at code in most programming languages, and figure out what it does. But, in terms of writing something from scratch, I’m pretty much useless any more.
Anyway, for one of my web sites, I’d like to allow visitors an easy way to subscribe to an EZMLM mailing list. Ideally, they’d simply type their e-mail address into a text box, and click a “subscribe” button. The resulting action would be a message to the list processor that would use the remote subscribe syntax to add the address from the text box to the list:
Where name=example.com is the subscriber’s e-mail address with the “@” replaced by “=”.
Ideally, this would be a little piece of PHP code that I could drop into the sidebar of a WordPress blog. If you’ve got a suggestion, you can drop me an e-mail at this address: gerenm (at) gmail (dot) com.
Thanks!

I’ve got this tucked away somewhere already, I think. It’s in Perl, though.
A Perl script might work. I’ve not tried sticking a Perl script into the middle of a PHP file that’s nested inside another PHP file.
PHP is executed pre-render. Perl CGI scripts of the type I wrote for this purpose work from a form POST action. PHP creates the HTML that contains the form, the form calls the CGI. There shouldn’t be any problem.
Code on its way.
Thanks. As I said in my note, I’ll putz with it over the next couple of days and get it working.
