Single Form, Multiple Emails?

[johnnys2]

Hi Guys,

 

Newbie here, I have a working admin system built and just finishing a few things off.

 

I have a form with a few input fields (make, model, name) and one tick box 'Do you need assistance?'.

 

Once submitted, this form successfully sends the info via email to manager@something.com. However, when the tick box mentioned above is ticked, Id like it to ALSO send a different email to assistance@something.com

 

Code below;

if(sendQf22Email($make, $model, $name,)){
$boolMailSent = true;
}else{
$boolMailSent = false;
}
         echo "<h1>Request Submitted</h1>
             <p>Your request has been submitted and is queued for processing.</p>
             <p>We will contact you once completed.</p>
            ";

Basically the secondary email should go to an 'Assistance' team. However the main email should always go to the Manager.

 

The second email would say something like 'Dear assistance team, please see form below as assistance has been requested......'

 

Is this possible?

 

Apologies if this sounds confusing.

 

And thanks in advance.

From the manual

 

 

user@example.com, anotheruser@example.com

 

 

Just add a conditional that only adds it if your box is ticked.

*Edit - after reading the whole post again () you'll need to just make a second mail call to use a different message, but the conditional part would remain the same - if it's ticked, run a second call to mail().

thanks for the reply TOA, but would this not just send the exact same email to another recipient?

 

I'd like it to send a different email, to a different recipient.

Yep, edited my answer as you were typing

lol thanks very much, I'll go have a look at conditional mail calls

[TOA]

// here's your normal mail call to manager

mail($manager_email, $manager_message);

 

// here's your conditional call

if (isset($_POST['checkbox_name'])) {

  mail($assistance_email, $assistance_message);

}

 

You just need to see if the checkbox is checked and if it is send another email. That's what I meant. Sorry, I'm  having a hard time being clear today

Thanks for this help TOA, how do I check if the checkbox is checked exactly?

 

The code I have now is as follows

// conditional call
        if (isset($_POST["assistance_reqd_for_setup"])) {
        $mail2($GLOBALS["MyEmail"], $HTMLmessage2);
        }

assistance_reqd_for_setup - is the name of the checkbox

MyEmail - is my email address saved in a global config file

HTMLmessage2 - is the separate email that I'd like to send
