Contact form with different TO links

nd4spdbh · March 9, 2007

OK well im looking for a contact form, but i would like to be able to click a certan link and have it use the emal...

This is for a project at school.

Let me expalin further.

im a senior at my highschool in the website class and we update our site. Any ways we have depratment pages with all the teachers of the departments with mailto links to their underneath each of their pictures. now with mailto links this opens up the default email app on the computer and my teacher came upto me to find a solution.

So i instantly thought PHP as i have worked with php contact forms in the past and they work very well and are quite easy. Now what i would like to do is to be able to click on the link below each of the teachers picture and have it open up the contact form page and have it change the TO form to the teacher. So i was wondering if there was an easy way to do this. Like in the link have it open up the php page with some type of parameter that changes the TO form in relation to the teachers email that was click on.

Thanks

If you want to save emails and teachers information to database and then use it:

Then create teachers page with id, name, email,image as the columns. From the page with teachers images create links with

Otherwise if you don't want database then just create link this way

On the form page just use $_GET['email'] to use teachers email address for sending this form
