Form auto response needed

[tim_ver]

 

 

    I have a form now works great but I need each of the forms to have there own autoresponse's sent back to the email the user enters in the form. I would use the one on the server side for the email it is getting sent to but there are four different forms that need four different responses so it would not work.

 

 

Can someone please help me here on how to do this.

 

 

Any questions just ask me, or if you need to see the code I have now.

 

Thanks

would need to see some code

 

I would use the one on the server side for the email it is getting sent to but there are four different forms that need four different responses so it would not work.

 

don't see how thats a problem  !

[tim_ver]

It is beacause all four forms goto the same email address so need to have something in the form that gets sent back instead.

humm well it shouldn't be hard up update, can you post some code

[tim_ver]

Ok, here you go. If you need more of the code or a specific part let me know.

    </form>

Use the include() function to get a 'specific response' from the form processing script based on whichever form was submitted. Add a hidden field to each form so the processing script knows which response text to include.

Ok, I have used this for include in a php page but never as an auto response getting sent back out. Is there a tutorial or sample code for this?

 

Thanks much

[tim_ver]

I added this to the form:

 

$autotype

autotype = 1

 

 

And this to the send.php

 

 

if (autotype == 1){

mail(email to, Email, Thank you for your request. We will be in touch in 24  hours.)

}

 

Would lthis work, I would change from 1 to 2 and then 3 and so on. Am I missing anything?

 

please help thanks.

[MadTechie]

first its "$autotype" not "autotype" you need the $

 

if the send.php is included then yes it seams fine

[tim_ver]

Ok, should I put bot snipits of code at the top of each on does it matter?

 

 

This is what I have now:

 

In the form:

 

$autotype

$autotype = 1

 

 

In send.php:

 

if ($autotype == 1){

mail(email to, Email, Thank you for your request. We will be in touch in 24  hours.)

}

 

 

Thanks

its a little hard to say without seeing the form and code,

 

in the form you can have a hidden field set to 1,2,3 etc..

 

then in the send.php have something like

 

<?php
switch($_GET['autotype'])
{
case "1":
mail($_GET['name'], $_GET['email'], "Thank you for your request. We will be in touch in 24  hours.");
break;

case "2":
mail($_GET['name'], $_GET['email'], "Sorry we're not home");
break;

case "3":
mail($_GET['name'], $_GET['email'], "You're fired");
break;

}
?>
