[SOLVED] Index.php subscribe and unsubscribe link
Hi everybody
I have a small problem and I have no idea how it can be fixed.
I have a website and I have just installed a php mailing list. Everything works fine, the list works great etc.
These are the links:
Subscribe
http://bicestertown.co.uk/mailnews/?p=subscribe
Unsubscribe
http://bicestertown.co.uk/mailnews/?p=unsubscribe
Confirm subscription
http://bicestertown.co.uk/mailnews/?p=confirm
Update details
http://bicestertown.co.uk/mailnews/?p=preferences
Now, I have a form made in FrontPage on my index page. This form has only one field and a mobile (radio) button.-add/remove.
The issue is that I can not make it work from my index page. Every time I subscribe an email through that form from my index page (http://www.bicestertown.co.uk) I get the following error:
http://www.bicestertown.co.uk/mailingli ... om&send=ok
What I would like to do is to use that form box from my index page (to add or remove emails) without going to these pages:
Subscribe
http://bicestertown.co.uk/mailnews/?p=subscribe
Unsubscribe
http://bicestertown.co.uk/mailnews/?p=unsubscribe

hi, thank you for your quick replay.
thank you very much i have changed the location(it was the old name of my mailinglist)
<FORM name=e_mailing_list
form name="e_mailing_list" action=http://www.bicestertown.co.uk/[b]mailnews[/b]/index.php
target=_blank><P><FONT color=#ffffff><INPUT
------------------------------
"Secondly the form is submitted through POST so submitting values through QueryString won't work. You will have to change it to GET to make it work."
how do you know that( i can not find it to chage it to get)

it is in the index.php file. Find the <form> tag and change the attribute method="POST" to method="GET".
edit: Oops, thanks for that, feyd. must've been processor overload in my head

First of all, your link is wrong again. it should have ?p instead of ?page.

Click the link here and see for yourself.
