Need HELP with Multiple Emails Form

[phpn00b111]

Hi,

I need to create a simple HTML form that has the standard To:, CC:, BCC:, Comments: etc. - but I need for the form to have a drop down list of "Subjects". Depending on which subject the user selects, it should email a different email address for each one for the contact.

The email addresses should be hidden and only server side. Could someone point me to a sample form which has something like this? I've Googled it all over but can't find any examples.

I'm pretty new to PHP4, so any help is appreciated.

There is no HTML form you will need to process the Mail headers on the server side. Mail function has an example of how to do it but there isnt an example on processing the form data.

Hi -

I don't quite understand. I know how to make the HTML form just fine. I just need a script to take those values from the drop down list, translate each selection into a different email address, and then send the emails to the selected recipient as normal.

$emailAddr = ""; //just empty for now.
swtich ($_POST['subject']) //assuming subject is a form name
{
case 'option1':
    $emailAddr = "[e-mail]";
break; //add other cases
default:
    $emailAddr = "[e-mail]"; //if an option doesnt exist this case "default" is selected 
break;
}

// send the email off to $emailAddr or additional emails if need be

Hi again. Sorry for asking all of these questions, but I'm still a little lost. I've never used PHP form handlers before so I'm not sure how to code this.

Do I just get the HTML form to execute something like mail.php4, with the above code in that file? So would it look like:

<?php 
$emailAddr = ""; //just empty for now.
swtich ($_POST['subject']) //assuming subject is a form name
{
case 'option1':
    $emailAddr = "[e-mail]";
break; //add other cases
case 'option2':
    $emailAddr = "[e-mail]";
break; //add other cases
case 'option3':
    $emailAddr = "[e-mail]";
break; //add other cases
case 'option4':
    $emailAddr = "[e-mail]";
break; //add other cases
case 'option5':
    $emailAddr = "[e-mail]";
break; //add other cases

default:
    $emailAddr = "[e-mail]"; //if an option doesnt exist this case "default" is selected 
break;
}

// send the email off to $emailAddr or additional emails if need be

Is that correct? How about the variables for the comment field, From field, BCC, CC, etc?

thanks so much.

$headers .="BCC : [e-mail] \r\n";
$headers .= CC : [e-mail] \r\n";

Thank you! And I won't need to program any SMTP mail servers or anything like that will I (like I normally do in a CDONTS or ASPMail form)?

Is there an example of the output email the recipient would receive?
