password protection/mailing list
hello all i hope some one can help me
this is what im looking 4:
when some one enters a section on my site i want them to HAVE to enter there email address everytime the visit to continue to the webpage
i need that email addr to go into a mailing list script so i can send out a news letter (i also need the mail script)
ive look @ useing a just a mailing list (subscribe box) wich works the first time the person visits the site but the next time they enter the site and enter their email adds it says email address already exists.
so i guess what im actulay looking 4 is A password protected and mailing list
thanks 4 the help

moving this along to the right forum.
If you already have the email address, it would be better to assign them their email address as their username and change the fields so you have:
member sign in:
FIELD: [email protected]
FIELD: sign in
not a member? join!
FIELD: name
FIELD: email
FIELD: txt/html
FIELD: join!

First off, it's a lot easier to respond if you put the question in well formulated english.
And no. I don't personally know of a script that would take the address from a mailing list sign up and create a userid from it for a password protected area.

I could help in this area if your host supports PHP. Does it? User authentication is very easy using a database to draw from. You'll need MySQL. The login stuff would be seperate from the email thing too. But, altogether your asking help with login and a newsletter management system. Are you in for ride...
In the future, I would give more information as to what type programming your using.
