I have to add a mailing list system to phpWebsite. I'd prefer to tailor an existing program as opposed to writing something from scratch. Anyone have any suggestions of mailing list systems I might take a look at? Also, is there is specification for the plugin systm somewhere? Thanks, Geoff Geoff Staples, Hostricity Web Hosting <http://www.hostricity.com/> |

Todd: Thanks for the suggestion of Mailman. However, I'm curious. Why would I want to use a Python based program instead of a PHP based one? In principal, I suppose I'm not opposed to using a Python program. But, it seems counterproductive to add something that requires an additional interpretive environment to be installed on a server before one can use phpWebsite. I'm certainly open to your reasons for suggesting Mailman. ALSO, I'd like to hear from anyone who has a suggestion for a php / mySQL mailing list program.

Geoff: I looked on hotscripts for a PHP mailing list script and found this one called PHPMailList. Not sure how good it is but it looks like the author is releasing a new app called Multilist for Multiple Lists. Might want to check it out: http://php.warpedweb.net/ You might find some others at hotscripts or Sourceforge for that matter.

Jason: I looked on hostscripts as well and saw several. I saw another one called Relata. I was hoping for some actual experience with the software. But, thank you for your time and assistance in researching this. Geoff Geoff Staples, Hostricity Web Hosting <http://www.hostricity.com/> -----Original Message----- From: php...@li...

Are we going to standardize on (4) space indents and echo "" in lieu of
print("")?

Mailman is a great mailing list program. It's automatic web archive interface is wonderful. We're using it right now on SourceForge. Its list of users is quite impressive, so it's proven in very large environments. BTW, egroups (now part of Yahoo) was also written in Python. http://www.list.org/inthenews.html If we could get the same functionality in a PHP product, then we should use it. I just haven't seen one yet. --Todd |

Because it is one of the best known mailing list software packages, it does it's job _very_ well, has a very good interface, a complete featureset, ... I tried to write something similar in PHP once, but i stopped that project very soon. Sending lot's of emails (whether you use a loop or BCC or whatever) is not the task you love to do using PHP (IMHO). And to rephrase your question (somewhat): Why should I use something not written in Python, it it works?. It should be easy to integrate the web interface of mailman by means of a plugin. Just my 2c, Karsten --=20 Why do we have to hide from the police, daddy? Because we use emacs, son. They use vi. ----------------------------- mailto:k.d...@tu... w=B3: http://www.k-fish.de/ gpg: http://www.k-fish.de/mykeys.gpg |

But, my concern is quite simple: If I add a Python plug-in to phpWebSite, then anyone who wants to use the plug-in has to have Python on their server in addition to PHP. I think it is counterproductive to pile on additional requirements for using phpWebSite. I wonder how we can find out whether many php servers also have Python installed? I'm sure Mailman is great, but ... Geoff |
