variable email

Wolverinus

Hi folks!
I'am a newbie and have propably a newbie-problem:
I would like to wrote a script with variable email addresse but it doesn't work.
the var $ownemail ist with the correct address available
I hope anybody could help me

The code:

<HR>

<A HREF="mailto:<? php '$ownemail' ?> ">AIMCC</A>

Dont really get what you mean but you probably wanna do this:

<a href="mailto:<?php print $ownemail; ?>">Email me!</a>

If you want to send an email using PHP, then you can use mail() function.

the Corp has some email-addresses. Another script has the task to check whichone and put it in $ownemail.
So if the online-user click on the link, the email-form with correct address should be open.

I hope, my problem is now more clear?

Thanks for make it clearer. =)
Ok, then you will be having 2 files.

---> select.php

<form action="displayemail.php" method="post" name="selectemail">
<select name="department">
<option value="marketing">Marketing Department</option>
<option value="finance">Finance Department</option>
</select>
</form>

---> displayemail.php

<?php
$department=$_POST['department'];
switch ($department){
      case "marketing":
              $email="marketing@domain.com";
      case "finance":
              $email="finance@domain.com";
      default:
              $email="webmaster@domain.com";
}
?>
Click <a href="mailto:<?php print $email; ?>">here</a> to email us!
