form headaches

[Manual]

I have created a form where the visitor can choose where his email should be sent to ... only it does not work! I tried it with only two email adresses and it seemed fine, now that there are a couple of them it does nothing ....

switch($_POST['destination'])
{
case "Windhoek":
$email = "[e-mail]";
break;
case "Frankfurt":
$email = "[e-mail]";
break;
case "London":
$email = "[e-mail]";
break;
case "Cape Town":
$email = "[e-mail]";
break;
case "Johannesburg":
$email = "[e-mail]";
break;

}

am I missing something obvious?

hard to say, might just be that your name="destination" input has some problem (e.g. spelling error)

Maybe use a default case as well, so that you can check for invalid destinations?

Here are both pieces of info, below the html part of the form ...

<select name="destination" class="normal10">
<option selected>Windhoek</option>
<option>Frankfurt</option>
<option>London</option>
<option>Cape Town</option>
<option>Johannesburg</option>
</select>

... and here the PHP part

switch($_POST['destination'])
{
case "Windhoek":
$email = "[e-mail]";
break;
case "Frankfurt":
$email = "[e-mail]";
break;
case "London":
$email = "[e-mail]";
break;
case "Cape Town":
$email = "[e-mail]";
break;
case "Johannesburg":
$email = "[e-mail]";
break;
}

How do I get this thing to work? It is causing me gray hair ...

problem in your form code, change is to this

<select name="destination" class="normal10">
<option value="Windhoek" selected>Windhoek</option>
<option value="Frankfurt">Frankfurt</option>
<option value="London">London</option>
<option value="Cape Town">Cape Town</option>
<option value="Johannesburg">Johannesburg</option>
</select>
