Hello, I would appreciate anyone who has the time to look at this issue!:=


I am building a news webpage using Zope v2.5.1.  I would like to collect =
the
emails of people interested in receiving email updates. I have a MySQL
database set-up and connected properly.  I have also set up working infoF=
orm
and infoAction files to collect user emails.  I would like to send the us=
er
email addresses to a table contained in the MySQL database so that I have=
 them
all stored in an easy table format. =


I have not been able to find documentation on how to link the email entry=
 box
to the MySQL database.

The infoForm DTML Doc looks like this:

<p>Receive the daily email update.</p>
<form action=3D"infoAction">
<input type=3D"text" name=3D"email" size=3D"18">
<input type=3Dimage name=3Dsign_up =

src=3D"sign_up.gif">

The infoAction DTML doc looks like this:

<p class=3Dheadline>Thanks for entering your email. You will now receive =

the weekly email at <dtml-var email>.</p>
