phplist is an open source software for managing mailing lists. It is designed for the dissemination of information, such as newsletters, news, advertising to list of subscribers. It is written in PHP and uses a MySQL database to store the information. The software is distributed free under GPL license, and is developed and sponsored by Tincan.[3]
Introduction
phplist can manage a list of subscribers and send e-mail messages to large numbers of subscribers. The subscription management, registration, personal data changes, and unsubscribe requests, are automated. Subscriptions to one or more lists are made through a subscription page that can be integrated into a website.[5] The information requested during registration, for example, country of residence, language, date of birth, favorite food, etc. - is determined by the list administrators and can be modified at any time. This information can then be used for targeted messaging, i.e. sending may be limited to subscribers who meet certain criteria, such as country or city of residence. Public interface is available in 31 languages. The documentation detailing the functions and features of the software is available in English and is partially translated into Spanish, French, and Dutch.
Operating Systems
The software was developed on a GNU Linux with Apache . It is also compatible with the following operating systems Unix, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Mac OS and Windows.
Database Connectivity
phplist is designed to connect to a MySQL database. With its support for ADOdb it is possible to extend the connectivity to other databases such as PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, SQLite, Sybase, IBM DB2, Oracle, etc.
