Creating an Email list from Input Text using PhP/SQL

[mrlennon]

OK - probably another really silly question...

I want to have a section on my page where people can enter their email into a text field, and it will be added to some form of automatic email list. I want to send them an email automatically confirming their membership, and add their name to a list that I could call as something like myEmailList@mySiteName.com.

I have a *basic* knowledge of functionality of php and mySQL, but haven't done anything like this before. Can anybody point me in a direction of where to proceed?

Thanks!
Kyle
