PHP array?

[fatboymills]

I need to create an array (i think) with ID#s to match email addresses, so when the guys type in their ID# in my survey form, it will send to their email addres and mine also. Anyone know how?

 

Thanks in advance

Store the id and associated email address in a database. You'd then query the database and return the email address where the id matches,

 

example query

$mysqli->conect('localhost', 'user', 'pass', 'db');
$res = $mysqli->query($con, 'SELECT email FROM users WHERE id = ' . intval($users_id));

if($res && $res->num_rows > 0)
{
   list($email) = $res->fetch_row();

   // do something with $email (will contain the associated email address)
}

Thank you for the tip. I will try this. Althouh im curious whether it can be done inside the script like...

 

$id['25457']="[email protected]";

$id['35685']="[email protected]";

$id['39697']="[email protected]";

 

And then call the $id to email.

Thanks again.

Yes you can do that, but you'll need to manually edit the script each time to add/remove/change email addresses. Which is ok I suppose if you're only dealing with a vary small amount of addresses which wont change often.

No they don't change often, can you point me to an example script? Thanks again.

An example would be

// list of emails with associated id
$emails = array();
$emails['25457'] = "[email protected]";
$emails['35685'] = "[email protected]";
$emails['39697'] = "[email protected]";

// email id passed in the query string?
if(isset($_GET['id']))
{
   // retrieve the email id
   $email_id = intval($_GET['id']);

   // is there an email associated with that email id?
   if(isset($emails[ $email_id ]))
   {
      // retrieve the associated email
      $email = $emails[ $email_id ];

      // do something with $email
   }
}

An example link would be like

<a href="contact.php?id=25457">Contact me on Address 1</a>
