Creating a mailing list

I recently just signed up with <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bravenet.com">www.bravenet.com</a><!-- w --> to manage my mailing list. i like the way that it works and all, but is there a way for me to do what it is they do, with me doing it instead of them? for example, is there a way that when somebody adds to a mailing list that they do not see bravenet stuff, only mine.<br />
<br />
The current code for my list is posted at <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.carpenoctem.tv/list.html">www.carpenoctem.tv/list.html</a><!-- w --><br />
<br />
can i host it myself?<!--content-->certainly:<br />
php versions (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Mailing_List_Managers/">http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_a ... _Managers/</a><!-- m -->) <br />
perl versions (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hotscripts.com/Perl/Scripts_and_Programs/Mailing_List_Managers/">http://www.hotscripts.com/Perl/Scripts_ ... _Managers/</a><!-- m -->)<!--content-->then i think i need to rephrase my question....<br />
<br />
is there some kind of code that i can write myself, that will allow me to create a mailing list on my website that will not be hosted by somebody else, or created by a program that i have to purchase<!--content-->many of those scripts that i linked to are gpl (free) and you would be hosting them, yes you could write it yourself, but unless you're acquainted with either php or perl i wouldn't go for it, it would take a while!<br />
have another look at those scripts :)<br />
but if you would like to give writing your own in php a go have a look here (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/mailing/page1.html">http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/ ... page1.html</a><!-- m -->)<!--content-->Ok, i have created those files, now i need somebody that has a lot of patience, and knows a lot about php. i am learning still, and have problems with what i did from that link, and i do not know how to tell where the problem resides, or how to fix it. Is there somebody that can help?<!--content-->I have a VERY easy way fro creating a VERY basic mailing list. It only takes a couple of lines of PHP. Have PHP add the e-mail address of every person that signs up to a textfile on your server. When you want to mail the people in your mailing list, getting the e-mails are as easy as Download <!--more-->ing the text file. Alternatively you can write a PHP function to mail all the people in the text file.<!--content-->that sounds really awesome. would you be willing to share your code with me?<br />
<br />
also, does it have an autoresponder for when people get added to the list?<!--content-->Hi. I can write the code, but you said you'd like to do it on your own, so I'd recommend checking out this page (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.stickysauce.com/tutorials/programming/php/phptextfiles/index.htm">http://www.stickysauce.com/tutorials/pr ... /index.htm</a><!-- m -->) : it's really BRILLIANT on teaching the basics of flat file handling. That's where I got the idea.<!--content-->It is something that i would like to try and do on my own, so that i can learn how to do it. but i know that i will need help as the time goes on. i will take a look at that page, and do what it says. i would appreciate your patience, and your willingness to help me. i am leaving town for a few days, i will email you, and work on it when i return.!<br />
<br />
THanks.<!--content-->I decided to make a tutorial on making a basic mailing list in PHP using flat files. The tutorial is available at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.dark-street.com/tutorials/php/php_1.html">http://www.dark-street.com/tutorials/php/php_1.html</a><!-- m --><!--content-->
