sending to a second email dependent on checkbox value

[kingman65]

I have searched this board and others, I have looked through my books and I can not figure this out. I have tried at least a dozen variations and none of them seem to work. I have a form that is on an html page. When the user submits it, it sends an email to person 'A', but if they select a checkbox then a copy has to also go to person 'B', but only if the box is checked. I figured I could just put the php in the form to create the hidden input, not getting it.

 <input type=hidden name="mailformFromEmail"  value="[e-mail]">
<input name="mailformFromName" type=hidden  value="Frequent Guest Card">
<input type=hidden name="mailformToEmail"  value="[e-mail]">

  

<?php $toss = '[e-mail]';
     if ($add_birthday){
	 '<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"mailformToEmail2\" value=\"$toss\">';
} ?>

 <input type=hidden name="mailformURL" value="order_thanks.php">
<input type=hidden name="mailformSubject" value="Frequent Guest Card Order">

At one point this is what was getting returned in the email:

ToEmail2 = <?php $toss = '[e-mail]';if
($add_birthday){print $toss;} ?>

This was using one of the earlier variations that I tried. I have tried single quotes and double, escaped and not escaped. I tried setting just the value to a variable, I have tried setting the whole input with php, plus a whole lot of other ways. I could really use some help here and would greatly appreciate the input.

Thanks

Probably not the best way to do this--It might be better if in your processing page you put something like:

If($checkbox){$to_addy.=",[e-mail]";}

Ok, I am trying this on my processing page, still no luck

if ($add_birthday) {
	$mailformToEmail2 .= "[e-mail]";
	$sendTo2 = $_POST[mailformToEmail2];
	if ($_POST[mailformUserEmail]) {
		$sentFrom2 = $_POST[mailformUserEmail];
	} else {
		$sentFrom2 = "ccrw@" . eregi_replace("^www\.", "", $SERVER_NAME);
	}
	mail($sendTo2, $_POST[mailformSubject2], $mailbody, "From: $sentFrom2\nBCC: [e-mail]");
}

am I getting close? I have removed the hidden input from the html page, when I leave it there, I get the email no matter what is checked or unchecked

I have also tried it this way

if ($add_birthday) {
	$sendTo2 = '[e-mail]';
	if ($_POST[mailformUserEmail]) {
		$sentFrom2 = $_POST[mailformUserEmail];
	} else {
		$sentFrom2 = "ccrw@" . eregi_replace("^www\.", "", $SERVER_NAME);
	}
	mail($sendTo2, $_POST[mailformSubject2], $mailbody, "From: $sentFrom2\nBCC: [e-mail]");
}

The first way I get no emails, this way here, I get email whether the box is checked or not
