I need a simple three field form created on the home page for a newsletter signup.

It is for myemma.com and they provide us the remote access instructions below.

Emma's Remote Signup API logout
Emma offers a Web Service API that allows Emma customers with programming know-how to create a direct connection between a remote signup or entry form and their Emma audience.

They have offered us the following options for a Remote signup API:

Examples of the Remote Signup API
Code examples save a new user with the following information:
first name: Bob
email:
to the group:

references to "**username**" and "**password**" should be replaced with the Remote Signup username and password you were given.

ASP w/ ServerXMLHTTP in VBScript
string stringPost = Request.Form.ToString() 'remember a post is essentially a string delimited in a special way
stringPost = stringPost + "&username=**username**&password=**password**"
stringPost = stringPost + "&signup_post=24842&emma_account_id=14714"
stringPost = stringPost + "&group[]=1&emma_member_name_first=Bob&emma_member_email="
dim xmlhttp

xmlhttp.send DataToSend
Response.ContentType = "text/xml"
stringResult = xmlhttp.responsexml.xml ' This is where you get the return value for evaluation
Set xmlhttp = nothing



ASP.NET w/ HTTPWebRequest and HTTPWebResponse in C#
string stringPost = Request.Form.ToString(); // remember a post is essentially a string delimited in a special way
stringPost = stringPost + "&username=**username**&password=**password**";
stringPost = stringPost + "&signup_post=24842&emma_account_id=14714";

streamWriter.Write(stringPost);
streamWriter.Close();

using (StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(httpWebResponse.GetResponseStream())) {
stringResult = streamReader.ReadToEnd(); // This is where you get the return value for evaluation
streamReader.Close();
}


PHP w/ PEAR's HTTP_Client package
require_once("HTTP/Client.php");
$emma_client = new HTTP_Client();
$emma_client->setMaxRedirects(20);

// POST should be filtered appropriately
$_POST['emma_account_id'] = '14714';
$_POST['signup_post'] = '24842';
$_POST['username'] = '**username**';
$_POST['password'] = '**password**';
$_POST['group'][] = 1
$_POST['emma_member_name_first'] = 'Bob';
$_POST['emma_member_email'] = '';

$emma_client->post("https://app.e2ma.net/app/view:RemoteSignup", $_POST);
$response_code = $emma_client->currentResponse();


PHP w/ cURL
$post = "signup_post=24842&emma_account_id=14714&username=**username**&password=**password**&group[]=1";
$post .= "&emma_member_email=&emma_member_name_first=Bob";
