problem with switch statement i think

[amarafzal]

Hi
Got a problem with the following code. What im trying to do is in the previous form i got a drop down list which containes values that are email addresses, so if they click on complaints, email goes to catherine.carne etc

Insted of having a static subject, i want to create a dynamic one where the subject is according what field the user chooses in the previous form. Am i thinking in the right way or is a switch the wrong thing? HELP ME PLEASE!!!

<?

$subject = $POST['subject'];
$name = $POST['name'];
$email = $POST['email'];
$comments = $POST['comments'];

switch($subject_title):
case "catherine.carne":
echo "Complaint or suggestion";
break;
case "irene.katris":
echo "General enquiry";
break;
case "amar.afzal":
echo "Web enquiry";
break;
default:
echo "";
break;
endswitch;

$to2 = $subject;
$from_header2 = "talent website";
$subject2 = "Contact us - $subject_title";
$message2 .= "Contact name: $name\n";
$message2 .= "Contact email: $email\n";
$message2 .= "Comments:\n $comments\n\n";
$message2 .= "--------------------------------------------------------------------\n";
$message2 .= "This is an automated message. Please do not reply to this email\n";
$message2 .= "For assistance, please contact the web team\n";
$message2 .= "--------------------------------------------------------------------\n";
mail($to2, $subject2, $message2, "From: $from_header2\n");
?>

The value of switch should be the select NAME of your form field. The value of case should be the VALUE of the selected form field.

the statemet works on the web page, in the body part of the page but not in the email, so im taking that switch statement works.

i want it to work in the email, any ideas?

OK - so you need to change the value of $subject_line:

// instead of having
echo "Complaint or suggestion";
// you need to have
$subject_line = "Complaint or suggestion";

also check that you have the correct variable names: you have '$subject' and '$subject_title' !!

i tried the following, still no luck im afraid. Am i doing anything wrong?

<?

$subject = $POST['subject'];
$name = $POST['name'];
$email = $POST['email'];
$comments = $POST['comments'];

switch($subject_line):
case "[e-mail]":
$subject_line = "Complaint or suggestion";
break;
case "[e-mail]":
$subject_line = "General enquiry";
break;
case "[e-mail]":
$subject_line = "Web enquiry";
break;
default:
$subject_line = "";
break;
endswitch;

$to2 = $subject;
$from_header2 = "talent website";
$subject2 = "Contact us - $subject_line";
$message2 .= "Contact name: $name\n";
$message2 .= "Contact email: $email\n";
$message2 .= "Comments:\n $comments\n\n";
$message2 .= "--------------------------------------------------------------------\n";
$message2 .= "This is an automated message. Please do not reply to this email\n";
$message2 .= "For assistance, please contact the web team\n";
$message2 .= "--------------------------------------------------------------------\n";
mail($to2, $subject2, $message2, "From: $from_header2\n");
?>
