PHPlist Integration w/ AJAX

A while ago I got asked to create a form that sent newsletter subscriptions on a PHP based website to PHPlist, a popular, open source email campaign manager. The idea being that people viewing the website could sign up then and there for email newsletters.

I've posted the code (with permission) and added some javascript that will handle the posting of the form with AJAX.

Using the script

• Configure the script - You'll need to add a url to the "$url" variable (line 15 - this should be the link to your current phplist subscribe page) and fill in the listname to "listname[1]" of the "$postfields" array (line 23 - if you are unsure of the name copy it from your current PHPlist subscribe page).
• Decide if you want to use AJAX post by commenting/uncommenting the line where we include the ajax.js file (line 113-114).
• Integrate into your site. This will be different for everyone, if you need a hand leave a comment and I can help out.

As always, leave me a comment if you end up using it.
