Mailer.

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 09.2005

Hello.

Okay I’m kind of stumped on this.

Below is a copy of our mailer which validates submissions, generates a unique ID, sends the mail and then echos a thank you message, their ID and a copy of the submission.

However, what I’d like to achieve is that on the forms I could have a checkbox, let’s call it “CCME” which would allow the person to select “Please send me a copy of this submission”.

Then, if all validates is complete and so forth a copy of the e-mail is sent to the e-mail address.
Is this easy to achieve?

Thanks.

Below the line to send the mail:

mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);

put an if statement (don't know the name of your checkbox etc., so I leave that out), which, if the checkbox is checked, would execute another mail():

mail($_POST['EMAIL'], $subject, $msg, $headers);

That should do the job because you are referring to "$_POST['EMAIL']" in your headers ($headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST['EMAIL'] . "rn"?, so I assume, that is the senders address. You should maybe modify the subject or the message in that line indicating something like 'Copy for you blah blah'.

Thanks for your reply.

Not sure I follow, sorry.

Would I need another mail function, or would I use the same one?

The checkbox would be called "CCME".

Something like this:[code=php]mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);
if($_POST['CCME']{
mail($_POST['EMAIL'], $subject, $msg, $headers);
}[/code]instead of the line you have:[code=php]mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);[/code]PJ

Yep, I removed the original code from the first post because it was a hefty piece of code so little point of it remaining there when the topic is solved.

I had change:
[code=php]
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);
if($_POST['CCME']{
mail($_POST['EMAIL'], $subject, $msg, $headers);
}
[/code]

to:

[code=php]
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);
if($_POST['CCME']) {
mail($_POST['EMAIL'], $subject, $msg, $headers);
}
[/code]

there was a mising ) on line 2.

Apart from that it's working brilliantly.

Thanks again.
