form radio button values = emails


kimeee

Recommended Posts

I have set up a "Leave of Absence Request" form with HTML and PHP. When filled out and sent, it sends a copy to me.

They (my superiors) have also asked if I can set it up so that when a user clicks on a radio button for a specific department, a separate email will be sent to that dept, as well as the email to me.

I know this must be possible. I have tried many ways and have had no luck so far.

Is there anyone out there that can help me?

You can use a check box instead of the radio button like this

Example check box
[code]
<input type="checkbox" name="Department_name" value="Yes" /> Department Name
[/code]

in you php, you just need to add the extra email address to the "To"
[code]
$to = "your_email@domain.com";
if ($_POST['Department_name'] == "Yes"){
     $to .= ", department_email@domain.com";
}
[/code]

Let me know if you need radio buttons and an example of your form if you need more help.

you can use something like this
[code]
<input type="radio" name="Email" value="Dep1" /> Dep1
<input type="radio" name="Email" value="Dep2" /> Dep1
<input type="radio" name="Email" value="Dep3" /> Dep1
<input type="radio" name="Email" value="Dep4" /> Dep1
[/code]

and your php
[code]
$to = "your_email@domain.com";
if ($_POST['Email'] == "Dep1"){
     $to .= ", dept1_email@domain.com, dept1_email@domain.com, dept1_email@domain.com, dept1_email@domain.com";
}
else if ($_POST['Email'] == "Dep2"){
     $to .= ", dept2_email@domain.com, dept2_email@domain.com, dept2_email@domain.com, dept2_email@domain.com";
}
else if ($_POST['Email'] == "Dep3"){
     $to .= ", dept3_email@domain.com, dept3_email@domain.com, dept3_email@domain.com, dept3_email@domain.com";
}
else {
     $to .= ", dept4_email@domain.com, dept4_email@domain.com, dept4_email@domain.com, dept4_email@domain.com";
}

[/code]

Hope this helps you.
