contact form sent to different emails

[harshadmethrath]

Hi heres the form to take a look http://jamaicainn.com/contact.php

 

the contact form basically is now sending all the information to the database of our external partner. I have a field "Regarding" which when selected the form information goes to the respected departments for ex., Spa goes to spa@jamaicainn.com

 

heres the code I wrote. which doesnt seem to work

 

<?php
if ($regarding == 'Human Resources'){
    // form action email(sophiaw@jamaicainn.com, $subject, $message) then redirect to
}  elseif ($regarding == 'Guest Relations'){
    // form action email(shickling@jamaicainn.com@jamaicainn.com, $subject, $message)
} elseif ($regarding == 'Spa'){
    // form action email(spa@jamaicainn.com, $subject, $message)
} elseif ($regarding == 'Marketing'){
    // form action email(tina@jamaicainn.com, $subject, $message)
}elseif ($regarding == 'Accounts'){
    // form action email(debra.freak@jamaicainn.com, $subject, $message)
}  elseif ($regarding == 'Reservations') {
     // form action post(http://www.NavisTechnologies.info/Narrowcast2005/ELM/ELMContactPost.aspx)
}
?>

<p><form name="form1" method="post" action="http://www.NavisTechnologies.info/Narrowcast2005/ELM/ELMContactPost.aspx">
            <table width="90%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3">

So is your question about how to send emails?

 

Get yourself a copy of PHPMailer and read through their documentation. It's pretty easy to use.

[harshadmethrath]

yes how to send each drop downs separate emails. spa to spa@, marketing to marketing@ etc.,

[requinix]

Great. Then. Get PHPMailer, write code to send an email according to their documentation, and then use that if block you have to set the right To: address.

[ginerjm]

Change all this redundant code:

if ($regarding == 'Human Resources'){
// form action email(sophiaw@jamaicainn.com, $subject, $message) then redirect to
} elseif ($regarding == 'Guest Relations'){
// form action email(shickling@jamaicainn.com@jamaicainn.com, $subject, $message)
} elseif ($regarding == 'Spa'){

 

to something more logical:

if ($regarding == 'Human Resources')
$to = "sophiaw@jamaicainn.com";
elseif ($regarding == 'Guest Relations')
$to = "shickling@jamaicainn.com";
elseif ($regarding == 'Spa')
...

 

Then simply get your subject and message and headers setup into their variables and send your mail using the to you create above. One mail call.

If you liked that you should read the manual for the switch statement usage. Even easier to setup.

 

PS - I don't think you need the p tags inside your option tags. Kind of doesn't make sense to add extra html levels to a simple list element which the option tag really is.

Your code made me nostalgic for all things '90s, and I didn't feel like cleaning the house yet, so I knocked up a slightly more modern version. It's completely untested so don't expect to copy and paste it, but hopefully it'll put you on the right track. Also, don't quote me on the JavaScript validation - the concept is valid, but the syntax might be a bit wonky.
