[SOLVED] Do a query from a drop down to email

Ok here is what I have and what I need to do.  I have a simple form that works fine.  Here is the code:

 

<?php 
if ($_POST["email"]<>'') { 
$ToEmail = '5555555555@messaging.sprintpcs.com'; 
$EmailSubject = $_POST["subject"]."\r\n";
$mailheader = "From: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\n"; 
$MESSAGE_BODY = nl2br($_POST["message"]);
mail($ToEmail,$EmailSubject, $MESSAGE_BODY,$mailheader) or die ("Failure"); 
?> 
<font color="red"><b>Your Text has been sent. The message sent was:</b></font><br /><br />
<font face="tahoma" size="4"><?php echo $_POST["message"]; ?></font>

<br /><br />
- <b><a href="text.php">GO BACK</a></b>
<?php 
} else { 
?>

<head>
<meta content="en-us" http-equiv="Content-Language" />

<style type="text/css">
.style1 {
text-align: center;
}
</style>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function textCounter(field, countfield, maxlimit) {
if (field.value.length > maxlimit) // if too long...trim it!
field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxlimit);
// otherwise, update 'characters left' counter
else 
countfield.value = maxlimit - field.value.length;
}
// End -->
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form action="text.php" method="post">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
	<td valign="top">
	Send To:<br />
		<select name="recip">

HERE IS WHERE THE OPTIONS WOULD BE DEPENDING ON HOW I NEED TO GET THEM HERE.  
Either hard coded or by query


		</select>
	</td>
</tr>


<tr>
<td>Message:<br /><textarea name=message wrap=physical onKeyDown="textCounter(this.form.message,this.form.remLen,143);" onKeyUp="textCounter(this.form.message,this.form.remLen,143);" cols="20" rows="6" id="comment" maxlength="143"></textarea><br /><input readonly type=text name=remLen size=3 maxlength=3 value="143" /> characters left
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input name="email" type="hidden" id="email" size="20" value="r@site.com"></td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td valign="top"><font color="red" size="2"><b>Do not hit enter for a new line. This will give you less characters to use due to the text limits.</b></font><br /><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Send"></td>
</tr>

</table>
</form> 
</body>
</html>
<?php 
}; 
?>

 

What it does is emails the message to a cell phone number @messaging.sprintpcs.com. (You can see the mail to address at the very top). This all works great and is good to go.  I need to have the drop down at the top pull a query depending on the choice and get the phone numbers to email to.

 

Example:  You choose All Sups from the dropdown.  On send it queries the database and search's table "sprint" for "sup" in the "dept" row.  Once it finds the sups it then outputs the phone number from row "num" to the top of the form under $ToEmail.

 

So if I searched for all SUPS it would email about 9 people.  Anyone with the label "sup" in the dept row.

 

Any help is appreciated guys.

$q = "select * from table_where_emails_are_stored...";
$ret = mysql_query($q);

print '<select name="email">';
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($ret)) {
    $email_addr = $row['email'];
    print "<option value=\"$email_addr\">$email_addr</option>";
}

 

or something
