How to opt-in our autoresponder subscriber and run other code simultaneously

 

 

 

 

 

 

To support one of my internet business I decided to use autoresponder service, unfortunately I was not dare enough to invest lots money for Aweber or GetResponse, 2 names listed as top leader on autoresponder business. So I decide to use cheap one, and money does matter. This cheap one didn’t give capability to do opt-in other than using their form, which is bad, because I also need to capture user information on my own database.

So, what I did:

1. Record my user information into database

2. Pass this information into HTML forms that  mimic opt-in form
3. Auto submit the form

It work fine for me.

The code itself is very simple as below, I use PHP and I assume we all already know how to insert into database, redirect and pass information to another form.

 

I use “display:none” to hide opt-in form, so forwarding process become seamless

   1:  <div style="display:none">

   2:  <form class='subscription_form' id='subscription_form' name="subscription_form" method='POST' action='####FORM_POST_URL####'>

   3:  <div align='center'><center>

   4:  <p>Full name<br><input type='text' name='full_name' size='20' value='<?php echo $name; ?>'></p>

   5:  </center></div>

   6:  <div align='center'><center>

   7:  <p>E-mail address<br><input type='text' name='email' size='20' value='<?php echo $email; ?>'></p>

   8:  </center></div>

   9:  <div align='center'><center>

  10:  <p>Phone #1<br><input type='text' name='phone1' size='20' value='<?php echo $phone; ?>'></p>

  11:  </center></div>

  12:  <input type='hidden' name='capitals' value='1'>

  13:  <input type='hidden' name='subscription_type' value='E'><div align='center'><center>

  14:  <p><input type='submit' value='Go »'></p>

  15:  </center></div>

  16:  <input type='hidden' name='id' value='5250'>

  17:  <input type='hidden' name='full_name_man' value='1'>

  18:  <input type='hidden' name='phone1_man' value='1'>

  19:  </form>

  20:  <div>

  21:   

  22:  </div>

  23:   

  24:  <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

  25:   

  26:  function init_form()

  27:  {

  28:      document.forms["subscription_form"].submit();

  29:  }

  30:   

  31:  window.onload=init_form;

  32:   

  33:  </script>
