Hi Gurus,
I am a hobbyist that creates his own site.

Now I need a subscribe form that asks email address and name. The data must be stored on the server.
This is not too complicated, but I need help in the following:

I need a counter that counts and displays on my web site (toggle in source) the number of the visitors subsribed.

I want to be able to read the data stored. I need help on the server site.

I don't know MySQL.

I use wb1620,

I will pay for your help, I think it is about 3-4 ready to go pages.

Please contact me!
Thanks,
Tamas

How about using a third-party application such as Mailchimp for subscribing/unsubscribing

And StatCounter for site visits

Thanks, but Mailchimp is expensive, and I have only a single project that will or won't have result. If my project works well, I will use Mailchimp, but this is the end of the project.

Now I have to count the number of subscribers and display this number (toggle in source).
My messages was "Now we have 121 subscribers. We are waiting for 879 (1000-121) more subscribers", or I will show a diagram.
(1000 is my goal. 121 the actual number.)

I need a short html program that counts the subscribers and writes the messages.

I don't know MySQL.
This cannot be done with just HTML. It will require the use of PHP and a Database such as MySql. The form will use PHP to do the submission which will then populate the database. As each submission is made a numerical increasement is made in the database and should be made visible on the same page as the form. As already mentioned you will need to know something about using MySql and how to manage it to work successfully. As you already have at least 121 subscribers they to may be added to the database first or the numerical output won't show correctly and the required 1000 will only show when it is actually reached.

Question: Do you already have a form setup? Do you just want to have a numerical display of subscribed visitors once they submit the form?. If so it might be done with a event on the submit button. Let me know.
