[SOLVED] web form - different emails per a choice

[teanza]

hey dudes-

 

i posted something a few weex ago, and i finally figured-out my stuff for the most part.

 

however, i need to have my form go 2 a different email per a required drop-down menu selection.  i have the values as 0,1,2,3.  when the form submits, it is only going 2 the top email ("[email protected]") with the corresponding subject, no matter the drop-down selection the user chooses!

 

any ideas? (below) thanx!  :-*

 

 

<?php

if(isset($_POST['email']))

{

switch ($_POST['to']) {

    case 0:

        $to = "[email protected]";

        $subject = "Website Inquiry: A";

        break;

    case 1:

        $to = "[email protected]";

        $subject = "Website Inquiry: B";

        break;

    case 2:

        $to = "[email protected]";

        $subject = "Website Inquiry: C";

        break;

case 3:

        $to = "[email protected]";

        $subject = "Website Inquiry: D";

        break;

}

$body = "*** " . $subject . " *** \n \n";

$body .= "Name: ";

$body .= $_REQUEST["firstname"] . " " . $_REQUEST["lastname"];

$body .= "\n \n";

$body .= "Phone Number: ";

$body .= $_REQUEST["telephone"];

$body .= "\n \n";

$body .= "Email Address: ";

$body .= $_REQUEST["email"];

$body .= "\n \n";

$body .= "Comments: \n \n";

$body .= $_REQUEST["additionalwords"];

$body .= "\n \n";

$body .= "Complexes: \n \n";

$body .= $_REQUEST["complexes"];

 

$msgError = "<p> <strong>ERROR:</strong>Please re-submit the form; we apologize!</p>";

 

$msgSuccess = "<p><strong>Thank you!</strong>We will be in contact shortly by phone or email!</p>";

 

 

$header = "From: ". $_REQUEST["firstname"] . " " . $_REQUEST["lastname"] . " <" . $_REQUEST["email"] . ">\r\n";

 

if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $header)) {

 

  echo $msgSuccess;

} else {

   

  echo $msgError;

}

}

{ 

?>

Dont no much about switch but try this

 

<?php
if(isset($_POST['email']))
{
switch ($_POST['to']) {
    case "0":
        $to = "[email protected]";
        $subject = "Website Inquiry: A";
        break;
    case"1":
        $to = "[email protected]";
        $subject = "Website Inquiry: B";
        break;
    case "2":
        $to = "[email protected]";
        $subject = "Website Inquiry: C";
        break;
    case "3":
        $to = "[email protected]";
        $subject = "Website Inquiry: D";
        break;
}
$body = "*** " . $subject . " *** \n \n";
$body .= "Name: ";
$body .= $_REQUEST["firstname"] . " " . $_REQUEST["lastname"];
$body .= "\n \n";
$body .= "Phone Number: ";
$body .= $_REQUEST["telephone"];
$body .= "\n \n";
$body .= "Email Address: ";
$body .= $_REQUEST["email"];
$body .= "\n \n";
$body .= "Comments: \n \n";
$body .= $_REQUEST["additionalwords"];
$body .= "\n \n";
$body .= "Complexes: \n \n";
$body .= $_REQUEST["complexes"];

$msgError = "<p> <strong>ERROR:</strong>Please re-submit the form; we apologize!</p>";

$msgSuccess = "<p><strong>Thank you!</strong>We will be in contact shortly by phone or email!</p>";


$header = "From: ". $_REQUEST["firstname"] . " " . $_REQUEST["lastname"] . " <" . $_REQUEST["email"] . ">\r\n";

if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $header)) {

  echo $msgSuccess;
} else {

  echo $msgError;
}
}
{
?>

thanx man i appreciate that , but the quotes actually made it not work @ all

 

~tina~

[farkewie]

Tested and worked :-)

 

<?php
  switch ($_POST['to']) {
        case '0':
            $to = "[email protected]";
            $subject = "Website Inquiry: A";
            break;
        case'1':
            $to = "[email protected]";
            $subject = "Website Inquiry: B";
            break;
        case '2':
            $to = "[email protected]";
            $subject = "Website Inquiry: C";
            break;
        case '3':
            $to = "[email protected]";
            $subject = "Website Inquiry: D";
            break;
    }

?>

[teanza]

hm weird; that doesn't work @ all either! when i have no quotes, it sends to the 'A' email address only.  single ' or double " don't work. hm?

 

~tina~

[farkewie]

what does

<?php
print $_POST['to'];
?>

 

show?

 

 

We want to see if it posts something different when the dropdown selection is different

[teanza]

hey thanx again.  "print" actually doesn't work @ all (won't display page).  is that what u were asking? i am 2 new 2 this.

 

~tina~ ??? ???

[farkewie]

We need to see what is being passed to the script from the HTML form.

 

can you post the code for your html form?

 

[teanza]

the site is here andrews-management.com/contactus.php

 

i am messing w/the rest of the site so try 2 ignore it

 

~tina~

[Q695]

Put them into a database, and have them pull the data based on the auto increment of the row.

[farkewie]

I cant access the site,

 

Just paste the code for the contact form.

[teanza]

Hi,

 

Your drop down field is called "complexes" not "to"

 

here

 

<?php


if(isset($_POST['email']))
{
    switch ($_POST['complexes']) {
        case '0':
            $to = "[email protected]";
            $subject = "Website Inquiry: A";     
            break;
        case'1':
            $to = "[email protected]";
            $subject = "Website Inquiry: B";         
            break;
        case '2':
            $to = "[email protected]";
            $subject = "Website Inquiry: C";     
            break;
        case '3':
            $to = "[email protected]";       
            $subject = "Website Inquiry: D";
            break;
    }
    $body = "*** " . $subject . " *** \n \n";
    $body .= "Name: ";
    $body .= $_REQUEST["firstname"] . " " . $_REQUEST["lastname"];
    $body .= "\n \n";
    $body .= "Phone Number: ";
    $body .= $_REQUEST["telephone"];
    $body .= "\n \n";
    $body .= "Email Address: ";
    $body .= $_REQUEST["email"];
    $body .= "\n \n";
    $body .= "Comments: \n \n";
    $body .= $_REQUEST["additionalwords"];
    $body .= "\n \n";
    $body .= "Complexes: \n \n";
    $body .= $_REQUEST["complexes"];

    $msgError = "<p> <strong>ERROR:</strong>Please re-submit the form; we apologize!</p>";

    $msgSuccess = "<p><strong>Thank you!</strong>We will be in contact shortly by phone or email!</p>";


    $header = "From: ". $_REQUEST["firstname"] . " " . $_REQUEST["lastname"] . " <" . $_REQUEST["email"] . ">\r\n";

if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $header)) {

        echo $msgSuccess;
    } else {

        echo $msgError;
    }
}
?>

u rock my world.  i have very little idea w/what i am doing.  i started out doing a nice basic site, lol.

 

it worked. ur awesome!

 

so now that u helped with it, maybe u can tell me how 2 redirect the stupid page? i did it in the meta tag but it keeps jumping back and forth.

 

 

~tina~

[Q695]

Your drop down could be condensed to a while loop with a database back end.  You need a unique identifier on the drop down.

[teanza]

hopefully i can comprehend that wholly in the near future. i appreciate it though! 

 

~tina~

[Q695]

I like to do a captcha security around it that requires the captcha string to be retyped once you get it correct the first time.

[farkewie]

Thats great.

 

I personally would have 2 separate files.

 

1 - contactform.html

2 - contactformmailer.php

 

Place all the php code in to contactformmailer.php and change the lines

<?php
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $header)) {

        echo $msgSuccess;
    } else {

        echo $msgError;
    }
}
?>

 

to

<?php
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $header)) {

      header("Location:http:YOURSITE.com");
    } 
    else {

        echo $msgError  . "<br /> To go back please click <a href=\"".$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']. " \">here</a>";
    }

?>

 

and in the contactform.html

 

change

 

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" name="contact" id="contact">

 

to

<form action="contactformmailer.php" method="post" name="contact" id="contact">

 

[teanza]

sorry i mean redirect the index page lol.

 

do u think i should for the form? is it bad 2 have it w/that extension?

 

~tina~

[farkewie]

Sorry i dont get what you mean by redirect the index page, can you explain step by step what you want to happen?

[Q695]

I do an if to see if the message is filled, or not, so that it's all at one location, and it flows logically, but I also like to load all variables at the top of each page.

[Q695]

You could also do a post variable that has a redirect built in if something is a particular value, or simply an include.

[teanza]

well i just need it 2 go 2 the https:// part.  i used a meta tag but it keeps jumping:

 

andrews-management.com

 

i looked-up a php file, but i suppose i failed 2 use it properly!  i need the users to never come across the page without the secure 's'.

 

~tina~

[farkewie]

You should be able to do that in your hosting control panel.

 

But if you cant this should do it.

 

<?php
header("Location:https://mysite.com");
?>
