Hi. Let's say i create html newsletter subscription form which gets user's name and e-mail, passes them to php file which stores them into database. Now what i should do to send newsletter to all users?

You would probably have another program that reads the email addresses out of the database and sends the emails with the newsletter.
Programming is a branch of mathematics.

I seem to remember there is a group of PHP mail functions, if they are enabled on your server I guess you just have a form where you enter the newsletter then when you click "send" it cycles through the database sending the files...
Please, write clearly with proper structure. Double spacing makes the text feel un-jointed, Capitalizing Every Word Means People Stop Before Every Word Sub-Consciously Which Is A Pain In The Backside, and use code tags! (The right most styling box).
