Recommended Posts

Hey everyone I'm pretty new at PHP so i'm hoping someone can help me with this code. What I am trying to do is if someone selects a state say Kansas then fills out the rest of the form and clicks submit it will go to a specific email address. If someone selects another state like Nebraska it will go to a separate email address. Here is my code and I hope someone can help me with this.

 

PS I think I really screwed this one up lol :help:

 

Thanks,

I took your code and added/subtracted a few things, although I didn't fix much -- I just got it to the point where it should work, so if there were errors in your initial code, they're still there.  Here ya go:

 

<?php

/* Subject and Email variables */

$emailSubject = "Your Car Report Info.";
$webMaster = "me@rustyeckford.com";
$webMaster2 ="me1@rustyeckford.com";
$webMaster3 ="me2@rustyeckford.com";

/* Gathering Data Variables */

$f_nameField = $_POST['f_name'];
$l_nameField = $_POST['l_name'];
$addField = $_POST['Address'];
$stateField = $_POST['state'];
$phoneField = $_POST['phone'];
$emailField = $_POST['email'];
$vinField = $_POST['vin'];

$body = "<br><hr><br>"."First Name: ".$f_name."<br />";
$body .= "Last Name: ".$l_name."<br />";
$body .= "Address: ".$address."<br />";
$body .= "State: ".$state."<br />";
$body .= "Phone: ".$phone."<br />";
$body .= "Email: ".$email."<br />";
$body .= "VIN: ".$vin."<br />";

switch($state) {
case 'Kansas':
case 'Oklahoma':
	$wm = $webMaster2;
    	break;
case 'Missouri':
	break;
case 'Iowa':
    	$wm = $webMaster3;
    	break;
    case 'Nebraska':
    	$wm = $webMaster;
    	break;
    default:
    	$wm = $webMaster;
}  

$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";

$success = mail($wm, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);

$theResults = "<html><head><title>Your Car Report - Results</title><meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\"><style type=\"text/css\">";
$theResults .= "
body {
background-color: #f1f1f1;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-style: normal;
line-height: normal;
font-weight: normal;
color: #666666;
text-decoration: none;
}
";
$theResults .= "</style></head><div><div align=\"center\">Thank you for your submission. Your vehicle report will be provided to you very soon!</div></div></body></html>";

echo $theResults;

?>

You REALLY need to validate your input! There are were errors in your switch.  In any case, see if this works. 

<?php

/* Subject and Email variables */

$emailSubject = 'Your Car Report Info.';
$webMaster = 'me@rustyeckford.com';
$webMaster2 ='me1@rustyeckford.com';
$webMaster3 ='me2@rustyeckford.com';

/* Gathering Data Variables */
IF ($_POST){ 
$f_name = $_POST['f_name'];
$l_name = $_POST['l_name'];
$add = $_POST['Address'];
$state = $_POST['state'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$vin = $_POST['vin'];
  
}//END IF POST
//********VALIDATE POST!!!!!!******//
//if values are good//
IF ((!empty($f_name)) && (!empty($l_name)) && (!empty($add)) && (!empty($state)) && (!empty($phone)) && (!empty($email)) && (!empty($vin))){

$body = "<br><hr><br>First Name: $f_name <br>Last Name: $l_name <br>Address: $Address <br>State: $state <br>Phone: $phone <br>Email: $email <br>VIN: $vin<br>"; 

switch($state) {
  case 'Kansas';
  case 'Oklahoma';
    $wm = $webMaster2;
    break;
  case 'Missouri';
  case 'Iowa';
    $wm = $webMaster3;
    break;
  case 'Nebraska';
    $wm = $webMaster;
    break;
}
$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";

$success = mail($wm, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);

Looks like I used semi-colons instead of colons in the switch.  I don't use switches much, sorry about that.  I think it should be

switch($state) {
  case 'Kansas':
  case 'Oklahoma':
    $wm = $webMaster2;
    break;
  case 'Missouri':
  case 'Iowa':
    $wm = $webMaster3;
    break;
  case 'Nebraska':
    $wm = $webMaster;
    break;
}

There should really be a sticky about emails not sending.  The number UNO (1) problem faced is that in today's interweb consortium games, most every HOST on the market REQUIRES that the FROM header on emails match an EXISTING email account hosted on the SMTP (email) server.

 

Short form:

You cannot use a submitted email to SEND the email, you must change:

$headers = "From: $email\r\n";

To a valid email that exist on your server.  You can still put that email in the body of the message.

 

IE:

$headers = "From: me@rustyeckford.com\r\n";

cool it worked without changing the From: $email.  now the only thing that I need to do is make is so that the person has to fill out all of the textboxes.  because if they don't it doensn't work.  it will go to the next page the thank you one, but instead of having the thank you it is blank. oh BTW Drummin I didn't have to change the semicolons

What he's saying is that you should setup email accounts with your host for me@rustyeckford.com,

me1@rustyeckford.com and me2@rustyeckford.com. 

 

My host allows mail() along with SMTP.

 

My hosting does require this as well, so if your domain is rustyeckford.com you should be able to add an address for "me", "me1" and "me2".

well all of the emails are actually going to 3 of our dealerships.  so they are name@midwestsuperstore.com, name@rustyeckfordomaha.com, and finally name@rollinghillsautoplaza.com.  But it seemed to work they way it is and I am getting all of the form info.
