I'm sure its simple

I'm sure this is very simple but I have just started using PHP so am not sure how to accomplish what I want.

 

I have a register page that when the submit button is clicked an email is sent to the email address i designate. Well in my form I have a drop down list(distribution method) and you can choose CD or download. Well i only want to recieve an email if the distribution method is CD. Also I am connecting to a database to keep track of this information and I'm using form validation. I'm not sure whether to add code to the

 

SELECT STATEMENT
<select name="distribution_method"  id="distribution_method">
                           <option selected="selected" value="<?php echo $row_rsdashboard_registration['distribution_method']; ?>"><?php echo $row_rsdashboard_registration['distribution_method']; ?></option>
                           <option value="CD">Install CD</option>
                           <option value="Download">Electronic Download</option>
                         </select>
                         <?php echo $tNGs->displayFieldError("dashboard_registration", "distribution_method"); ?>


OR THE TRIGGER I HAVE SENDING THE EMAIL

//start Trigger_SendEmail trigger
//remove this line if you want to edit the code by hand
function Trigger_SendEmail(&$tNG) {
 $emailObj = new tNG_Email($tNG);
 $emailObj->setFrom("[email protected]");
 $emailObj->setTo("{email}");
 $emailObj->setCC("");
 $emailObj->setBCC("[email protected]");
 $emailObj->setSubject("Registration");
 //WriteContent method
$emailObj->setContent("{first_name}, <br><br>

 Thank you for registering<br><br>

 (Preferred Delivery Method: {distribution_method})
 ");
 $emailObj->setEncoding("ISO-8859-1");
 $emailObj->setFormat("HTML/Text");
 $emailObj->setImportance("Normal");
 return $emailObj->Execute();
}
//end Trigger_SendEmail trigger

Ok so now I'm having this problem. I am using a trigger to send the email. I still need to send the email to the person who registers but I only need to recieve an email if they need a cd. I tried putting the code you gave me to set the bcc to me if they choose CD but its not working.

 

//start Trigger_SendEmail trigger

//remove this line if you want to edit the code by hand

function Trigger_SendEmail(&$tNG) {

  $emailObj = new tNG_Email($tNG);

  $emailObj->setFrom("[email protected]");

  $emailObj->setTo("{email}");

  $emailObj->setCC("");

if ($_POST['distribution_method'] != "CD") { $emailObj->setBCC("[email protected]"); }

  $emailObj->setSubject("Children's Mercy Hospital ED OR :: MySmartPlans Project Registration");

  //WriteContent method

$emailObj->setContent("{first_name}, <br><br>
