I have this Mailing List code and wanted to know how i can make it open in a box like a pop up when u click on a link and then close after ur done.
Code:
<?
/*
Email list script
by codedcode.com
*/
// to avoid showning errors (change to 1 to show them). For security
error_reporting(1);
// if info is posted, show the form and die
// the form is in the bottom of the page
if (!$_POST){print_form();die();}
// when info is posted you will be here
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Email list</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=FFFFFF>
<?
// GET EMAIL
$email=$_POST["email"];
// To avoid problems, only lower case is used
$email=strtolower($email);
// Check whether email is correct by using a function
// function requires the email address and the error message
check_email ($email, "Error: email is not valid.");
// GET VALUE FOR action : subc (subscribe) or unsubc (unsubscribe)
$action=$_POST["action"];
// this is the file with the info (emails)
// When using the link in the top to download the complete script, a new name for this file
// will be generated (p.e.: emaillist-2ax1fd34rfs.txt), so users will be unable to find it
$file = "emaillist-rabacafarrah.txt";
// lets try to get the content of the file
if (file_exists($file)){
// If the file is already in the server, its content is pasted to variable $file_content
$file_content=file_get_contents($file);
}else{
// If the file does not exists, lets try to create it
// In case file can not be created (probably due to problems with directory permissions),
// the users is informed (the first user will be the webmaster, who must solve the problem).
$cf = fopen($file, "w") or die("Error: file does not exits, and it can not be create.<BR>Please check permissions in the directory or create a file with coresponding name.");
fputs($cf, "Mailing list subscribers\n");
fclose($cf);
}
// IF REQUEST HAS BEEN TO SUBSCRIBE FROM MAILING LIST, ADD EMAIL TO THE FILE
if ($action=="subc"){
// check whether the email is already registered
if(strpos($file_content,"<$email>")>0){die("Error: your email is already included in this mailing list");}
// write the email to the list (append it to the file)
$cf = fopen($file, "a");
fputs($cf, "\n<$email>"); // new email is written to the file in a new line
fclose($cf);
// notify subscription
print "Your email has been added to our mailing list.<br>Thanks for joining us.";
}
// IF REQUEST HAS BEEN TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM MAILING LIST, REMOVE EMAIL FROM THE FILE
if ($action=="unsubc"){
// if email is not in the list, display error
if(strpos($file_content,"<$email>")==0){die("Error: your email is not included in this mailing list");}
// remove email from the content of the file
$file_content=preg_replace ("/\n<$email>/","",$file_content);
// print the new content to the file
$cf = fopen($file, "w");
fputs($cf, $file_content);
fclose($cf);
// notify unsubscription
print "Your email has been removed from our mailing list. ";
}
?>
</body>
</html>
<?
// THIS FUNCTION WILL CHECK WHETHER AN EMAIL IS CORRECT OR NOT
// FIRST, BASIC ARCHITECTURE IS CHECKED
// THEM, EXISTANCE OF THE EMAIL SERVER IS CHECKED
// If email is not correct, the error message is shown and page dies
function check_email ($email, $message){
// check if email exists
if ($email==""){die($message);}
// check whether email is correct (basic checking)
$test1=strpos($email, "@"); //value must be >1
