mail() command. . .

[Aliz__]

Ok so I have a form with some basic info
Name
email
State/Province

Once the form is submitted it emails to the specified person using the mail command. Everything is working ok but now I need to add something to it and am not sure how to do it.

If you select a state within the united states I need the form to just act normal.
But, if you select a different country outside the US then I need the form emailed to a different email.
Is there some sort of 'if' command I would use?

Thanks.

its called an if statement however depending on your setup you may find that a switch is better http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.control-structures.php

also thought I would post up my script for sending the email so far. . .

<?
$emailSend = "[e-mail]"
$subject = "Email Subject";
$message = '
This is the text for the message being sent to 
the person filling out the form
Full Name : ' . $Name . '
email Address : ' . $EMail . '
State/Province : ' . $State . '
';

//Send the mail 
mail($emailSend, $subject, $message, "From: $EMail\r\n");  

?>

well there's several ways to tackle what you're trying to do. you could use a switch statement like previously mentioned, you could also build an array of states in the United States and use an if statement with in_array or array_search to check if the $State variable is in the US or not..

some pseudo code off the top of my head...

$america = array("AK","AR","MI","TX","LA","VT","NY");

if (in_array($State,$america)) {
    // address in america
    mail($emailSend, $subject, $message, "From: $EMail\r\n");
 } else {
    // address outside of america, or not valid input
    mail(<whatever>,<whatever>,<whatever>,<whatever>);
}

you should probably also use some combination of javascript or some other form validation to make sure your $States variable isn't getting filed with bogus values before you process your mail routine. also be sure to note that in_array is case sensitive if you go that route...

good luck!
