Can it be formatted to send an email notification to the admin when someone fills in their address?

Oh my bad javascript:emoticon(' ')- I forgot to mention this is for the Newletter System - and I want to use it on a site I'm building - as the webmaster I want to be notified when someone enters their email for the newsletter. I don't want to have to check the subscribe.txt every day just to see if anyone has submitted info.javascript:emoticon(' ')

Oh, okay. here is the step you can change to email to you everytime someone submit the email.
1- Download the zip file, and upzip it.
2- find the file emailSubmit.php and open it.
3- Add the following line in the correct location.
| Code: |
| mail("youremail@domain.com","Newsletter List","someone has registered at the newsletter"); |
4- Upload the emailSubmit.php to replace the old one and test it in your server.
Okay, and here is the codes inside the emailSubmit.php
| Code: |
<?php
//get email value from POST variable
$email = trim($_POST['email']);
//add a new line for Each email address
$email .="\n";
//initialize the variable
$fileName = "subscribe.txt";
//open files
if (is_writable($fileName)) {
if(!$fp = fopen($fileName,"a")){
echo "status=Can't open the file name $fileName";
exit;
}
if (fwrite($fp,$email) === FALSE) {
echo "status=Can't write to $fileName";
exit;
}
echo "status=ok";
//test
mail("youremail@domain.com","Newsletter List","someone has registered at the newsletter");
//end test
fclose($fp);
} else {
echo "status=The file $fileName is not writable";
}
?>

Tried it as you have shown above and it generates "Problem Occurs" My guess is, its not writing to the database for some reason
