Automatic Sign Ups - Email

[J1mmy]

Hey,

You know the way when you sign up on a website whether it be an email address or registration form, everything happens automatically without the need of someone sitting there to activate it?

Well, thats what i am trying to do. Basically, i want to give out free email addresses provided my my hosting company. But i dont know how to automate everything.

What i want to achieve is, when the users register on the website, all the information is taken back to server and inputted where the email address is instantly made. (As if i would have made it manually)

Now, when i add an email to the server, all it asks me for is the name of the email address and the password. However, for my sign up form, im going to ask for more information such as their name, DOB, location etc. I want all this extra information to link to a MySQL database where all this will be stored, including their email address names and their passwords.

It might seems pretty complicated by the way ive just explained it. Its been done all over the place and i want to know how its done.

Thanks.

I'm guessing you don't know php and mysql, so in that case perhaps you should start with a basic tutorial (http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/phpmysql).

So do i need this to achieve my aim?

After this, whats next?

Well, you need some sort of serverside language to insert into a database yes... and php is as good a place to start as any.
