[SOLVED] Submit Sends to Specific Email Depending on Drop Down List Selection

[PrimeR]

I'm brand new to php.  I have a contact form with text fields for user info, a working array menu, and a submit button.

 

In my 2nd php file with all the commands in it, it is currently set up to send the user info to an email address.  It works fine.

 

But how do I change it to send the info to a ONE of a list of email address depending on WHICH MENU ITEM IS SELECTED.

 

Thanks!

Get the value of the $_POST selectbox, and then write a quick if or switch statement to determine the email address.

I am assuming that you want to send an e-mail to specific groups of people.

 

$list1 = array(..);//list of e-mail addresses
$list2 = array(..);

define('EMAIL_LIST_SUBSCRIBERS', 'subscribers');
define('EMAIL_LIST_MANUFACTURERS', 'manufacturers');

$final_list = array();
if ('POST' === $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']) {
    if (!empty($_POST['list'])) {
        switch ($_POST['list']) {
            case EMAIL_LIST_SUBSCRIBERS:
                $final_list = $list1;
                break;
            case EMAIL_LIST_MANUFACTURERS:
                $final_list = $list2;
                break;
        }
        
        if (!empty($final_list)) {
            foreach ($final_list as $email_address) {
                mail($email_address, ..);
            }
        }
    }
}

Actually, I want to email the info to only one recipient (from a few different possibilities).  Which recipient gets the email would depend on the drop down menu selection in the form.

 

Do you have sample code for doing this?

$email_addresses = array(..);

if (!empty($_POST['mail_to']) {
    $mail_to = (int) $_POST['mail_to'];
    if (isset($email_addresses[$mail_to])) {
        $email_address = $email_addresses[$mail_to];
        mail($email_address, ..);
    }
}
else {
    foreach ($email_addresses as $key => $email_address) {
        echo '<option value="', $key, '">', substr($email_address, 0, $pos = strpos($email_address, '@') ? $pos : null), '</option>';
    }
}
