contact form help

utdfederation · August 20, 2008

hello again,i am probably going to get spanked for this.

i have abandoned my previous contact form as i found this very nice contact form.

i am however a tad stuck.all i want to do now is add a dropdown with 5 contacts to choose from,

the user then selects the contact he/she wants to get a hold of and sends the email to them so in essense each contact will have their own e-mail attatched to the named contact,but i don't know how to script it.

i have attatched the script i am trying to modify where i have tried to incorporate a piece of script from another script but it not working,wonders will never cease.

i am trying honest,just guessing now but would appreciate any help here please.

very simple

you are going to need to pull the five contacts, then add them into a while loop.

But I do not see where you are storing your contacts. A database?

utdfederation · August 20, 2008

storing them on this line:

$mails = array("your@email.com", "your@email.com", "your@email.com", "your@email.com", "your@email.com");

thank you very much by the way for responding in my hour of need.

Lamez · August 21, 2008

<?php
$mails = array("1@email.com", "2@email.com", "3@email.com", "4@email.com", "5@email.com");

?>
<select name="select" id="select">
<option><?php echo $mails['0']; ?></option>
<option><?php echo $mails['1']; ?></option>
<option><?php echo $mails['2']; ?></option>
<option><?php echo $mails['3']; ?></option>
<option><?php echo $mails['4']; ?></option>
</select>

very simple

utdfederation · August 21, 2008

thank you for the reply i appreciate it.

it may be very simple to you but to a novice like me it is hard.

Lamez · August 21, 2008

oh, no everybodys gota learn some time or another, we are all here just to help, almost more than half of my posts where questions, lol

utdfederation · August 21, 2008

i know i know like i said i appreciate your experience on helping an old man out.

however i am having a problem and this is the final part now.

when i upload the file onto my server and try it out the drop-down box does not show at all so the user is unable to selct a contact.

any suggestions on why this is the case?

when you first launch the page you can see it for a split second then it's gone.

here is the link where it is at the moment.

http://www.oldburyparkwhitetigers.co.uk/contact/index.php

would it be easier for you to contact me on xfire? if so my id is utdfederation

would appreciate anything you can do to help solw this last part even pay for it

Lamez · August 21, 2008
