contact form, multiple email

[skter4938]

Hello there.

I have a contact form made, but I want the sender to choose to whome he wants to send it to, with a selection box. something like http://www.explosm.net/contact/

Here is the code in the contact.php part, where the form is processed.
[code]// get posted data into local variables
$EmailTo = "skter4938@gmail.com";
$EmailFrom = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['EmailFrom']));
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name']));
$Subject = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Subject']));
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message'])); [/code]

And this is the accual form code
[code]<form method="POST" action="contact.php">

<select name="emailto">
    <option value="artem" selected>Artem Artemov</option>
      <option value="kris">Kris Mobayeni</option>
  </select>

<p><label for="Name">Name</label><br />
<input id="Name" name="Name" type="text" tabindex="1" size="30" /></p>

<p><label for="EmailFrom">Email</label><br />
<input id="EmailFrom" name="EmailFrom" type="text" tabindex="2" size="30" /></p>

<p><label for="Subject">Subject</label><br />
<input id="Subject" name="Subject" type="text" tabindex="3" size="30" /></p>

<p><label for="words">Message</label><br />
<textarea name="Message" tabindex="5" rows="10" cols="24" style="width:300px;"></textarea></p>

<input type="submit" name="post" id="post" value="&nbsp;Send&nbsp;" />&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="reset" value="&nbsp;Reset&nbsp;" />
</form>[/code]

could you please help out?

Use the switch construct:

[code]switch ($_POST['emailto'])
  {
  case "artem":
      $emailto = "artem@gmail.com";
      break;
  case "kris":
      $emailto = "kris@gmail.com";
      break;
  default:
      die("Missing or invalid recipient");
      break;
  }[/code]

How do I assign that to $emailto?

[Travis Estill]

That [url=http://us2.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.switch.php]switch[/url] block will assign a certain value to $emailto depending on the value of $_POST['emailto']. Switch does basically the same thing as a series of If statements.

So, in the example above, if $_POST['emailto'] equals "artem", then $emailto gets set to "artem@gmail.com".

It tells me that there is an error now.

Here is the full code to the contact.php. Can you look over it to see waht the error is?

[code]<?php

session_start();
//Email Validation
function checkEmail($email)
{
  if(eregi("^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+@[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+$]", $email))
  {
      return FALSE;
  }

  list($Username, $Domain) = split("@",$email);

  if(@getmxrr($Domain, $MXHost))
  {
      return TRUE;
  }
  else
  {
      if(@fsockopen($Domain, 25, $errno, $errstr, 30))
      {
        return TRUE;
      }
      else
      {
        return FALSE;
      }
  }
}


// get posted data into local variables
switch ($_POST['EmailTo']){
  case "artem":
      $emailto = "skter4938@gmail.com";
      break;
  case "kris":
      $emailto = "skter4938@hotmail.com";
      break;
}
$EmailFrom = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['EmailFrom']));
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name']));
$Subject = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Subject']));
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message']));

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if(checkEmail($EmailFrom) == FALSE){
$error_msg[] = "Please enter in a valid email address.";
}
if (Trim($Name)==""){
$error_msg[] = "Please enter in a name.";
}
if (Trim($Subject)=="") {
$error_msg[] = "Please enter in a subject.";
}
if (Trim($Message)==""){
$error_msg[] = "Please enter in a message.";
}
//triggers error message
if ($error_msg) {
$_SESSION['error_msg'] = $error_msg;
header ('Location: index.php');
exit();
}
//sends email
else {
$Body = "You have a new email from $Name.\n\n Reply to $EmailFrom.\n\n $Name says,\n $Message";
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body);
}
//redirect to success page
if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=../index.php\">";
}
else{
  print "Email could not be sent due to errors. Please email the <a href='mailto:skter4938@gmail.com>webmaster</a>.";
}
?>[/code]

In the switch block you're using [b]$emailto[/b], but in the mail function you have [b]$EmailTo[/b] instead. Variable names are case-sensitive. Also, it's unnecessary to trim those POST variables more than once.
