[thelist] php email verify weird problem

[Rich Gray]

Andrew,

FYI mysql_db_query is deprecated now in PHP - you should use
mysql_select_db() and mysql_query()

I did post a suggested solution (see below) for the checkbox issue
yesterday... however this was to another guy called Andrew Maynes - who he?
:)
Did you try that?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
<TR><TD>E-mail Address</TD><TD><input name="email" size="30"></TD></TR>
<TR><TD>Subscribe?</TD><TD><input type="checkbox"
name="subscribe"></TD></TR>

And in the PHP code...

<?

if (isset($_POST['subscribe'])) {
	// Do the database stuff
}
?>
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

silly silly me, having just pasted the two lots of code I noticed the
problem, I
did think it was something other than this but is was simply this:

$dbname, was omitted from the following.

mysql_db_query($dbname, "insert into mailinglux values('','$email')");


I still have the problem of not incorporatting the tick boxes for this email
submit, and I have seen one of the obvious senarios for this.  If a visitor
returns to make another purchase they aren't going to subscribe to the same
newsletter but will still have the same email address to receive normal
correspondence order confirmation etc, so the tick box is fairly important!

Any ideas how one should go about this?

Andrew

I am still getting 2 of every post and I have tried all sorts to stop it!!
