contact form with different destinations

[tom_becker]

I want to create a form that will allow the user to select different departments (destinations) for his or her message.

Of course, the e-mail addresses need to be server side and not visible anywhere in the html.

I must be looking in the wrong places because I cannot find what I need.

Any ideas? I'm very new to this and have only been using an extremely simple php contact forms like this one:

<?}
else {
mail( "[e-mail]", "Website Contact Form",
"$message\nHow I Found Your Company: $whosentyou\n",
"From: $name <$email>" );
header( "Location: http://yoursite.com/contact/thankyou.html" );
}
?>

look up select case statements... thats what you need to define a var that contains the email addy

It's a little late for my reply, but a radio button with a variable to each one would work.

Exactly, but only the final result is sent to the browser with PHP, so setting up a code that would use an IF statement to check which radio was chosen, and a variable would be set for each.

ie:

 IF Radio1='true' 
then 
$e-mail="[e-mail]"
ELSE
// Nested IF statements come here, to check the next radio button if Radio1 returns false

// insert mail() code here 

Don't quote me on the actual code, but that's the basic idea. 😉 I just started coding, so I probably just murdered that code.

If someone could point out some of the many errors in my code, let me know, either on this thread, or [URL=mailto:[e-mail]]E-mail me[/URL]

Well.. I don't get the whole concept of "case statements" (never even heard of them before, actually), so I was just suggesting the way I would have done it.. with a handful of reading in front of me if I was actually writing the code..

You are missing a few characters

if (Radio1 == 'true') {  # curly braces on if/else lines and == to test the value of Radio1, Radio1=true sets Radio1 equal to true and is always true so the code below will always run
  # then is not used in if statements in php
  $email="[e-mail]";  # you need a semicolon at the end of the line and you can't use dashes in variable names
} else {
// Nested IF statements come here, to check the next radio button if Radio1 returns false 

// insert mail() code here
