getting the attention of users

I want to add functionality to my site that will enable me to eMail users every time I post a new page or do a significant update.
I guess I will need a mechanism to enable my users to register and then some code somewhere that I can run to send my registered users a link to the new item.
My ISP gives me a MySql database where I guess I will have to store my registered users' info.
Can anyone point me at the code I neeed to do this?
I've been Googling for ages with no result.
Thanks - hopefully.

You could use the PHP mail() function to send the emails to the users that have registered for your site. If you look up that function you will find some good examples. You may have to look up how to interact with the database separately but piecing it together won't be difficult. Be sure you also consider allowing the users to unsubscribe to the emails.
