Send form to different e-mails

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 18.2007

On a website I’m making for my church I have a form that gives the user the ability to send a message to a different member of the staff, they do this by selecting the persons name in a drop down box. If you go [URL=”http://calvary.spencer-designs.com/contact/”]here[/URL] you can see the form. You’ll notice that the drop down box to select the staff member is disabled, but if you choose “Contact Staff Member” as the purpose the select box will be enabled. Now to do this I was told to use an array here is my code below…

[code=php]$emails = array(
‘[email protected]’,
‘[email protected]’,
‘[email protected]’);

$email = isset($_POST[‘to’]) && array_key_exists($_POST[‘to’], $emails) ? $emails[$_POST[‘to’]] : $_POST[0];[/code]

But I was wondering if they do not select “Contact Staff Member” and say that they select “general information” how can I have that email to a different e-mail address? And same for if they select “website issue”

@tgrk35Jun 18.2007 — Either use a switch or an if,then. I would use a switch, personally.

[CODE]switch ($_POST['radiobuttonname']){
case 'case1':
// Email whoever you want here
break;

case 'case2':
// Pull email address from the dropdown
break;
}[/CODE]

That should work.

@tgrk35Jun 18.2007 — No problem.

[code=php]<form method="post" action="">

<input type="radio" name="whatever" value="choice1" />
<input type="radio" name="whatever" value="choice2" />

<select name="person">
<option value="person1">Person1</option>
<option value="person2">Person2</option>
</select>

<input type="submit" name="submit" />

</form>

<?php

if($_POST['submit']){

switch ($_POST['whatever']){

// Email whoever you want to (not from dropdown)
case 'choice1':
$emails = array();
$emails = ('[email protected]','[email protected]');

mail(...);

break;

// Email whoever they selected in dropdown
case 'choice2':
$email = $_POST['person'];

mail(...);

break;
}

}[/code]

There you go.

Hope that helps.
