Contact form - spam protected for multiple recipients

[lokust]

Hi,
I'm trying to build a contact form for multiple recipients that hides the recipient emails.

I'm fairly sure the logic is correct, though the syntax is wrong as I get this error when posting to the php form processor:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '@'

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

SAMPLE HTML

<select name="to" id="to">
<option value="sales">Sales enquiry</option>
<option value="promote">Promotion and advertising</option>
<option value="billing">Billing and payments</option>
<option value="suggestions">Suggestions</option>
<option value="other">Other</option>
</select>

The PHP form processor

<?php

$name=$_POST['name'];
$company=$_POST['company'];
$telephone=$_POST['telephone'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$enquiry=$_POST['enquiry'];

$sales=[e-mail];
$promote=[e-mail];
$billing=[e-mail];
$suggestions=[e-mail];
$other=[e-mail];

if ($to==$sales) {
 $outputemail = "[e-mail]";
} elseif ($to==$promote) {
 $outputemail = "[e-mail]";
} elseif ($to==$billing) {
$outputemail = "[e-mail]";
} elseif ($to==$suggestions) {
$outputemail = "[e-mail]";
} elseif ($to==$other) {
$outputemail = "[e-mail]";
} else {
 	break;
 }	

$myname .= "MY Server"; 
$myemail .= "me@myserver"; 

$message .= "Name : $name\r\n";
$message .= "Company : $company\r\n";
$message .= "Telephone : $telephone\r\n";
$message .= "Email : $email\r\n";
$message .= "Enquiry : $enquiry\r\n\r\n";

$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: ".$myname." <".$myemail.">\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: yo";

mail(
"$myemail", 
"MY Server - Contact", 
"$message", 
"$headers");

mail(
"$outputemail", 
"MY Server - Contact", 
"$message", 
"$headers");

header( "Location: http://www.myserver.com/thankyou.html?name=" . $_POST["name"] . "&email=" . $_POST["email"]);

?>

Yeah...

$sales=[e-mail];
$promote=[e-mail];
$billing=[e-mail];
$suggestions=[e-mail];
$other=[e-mail];

You should have quotes around the email address.

[Plasma]

$sales=[e-mail];

You have not quoted any of those addresses

$sales="[e-mail]";

Thanks! I also needed to get rid of the double "=" on the elseif loop - works great 🙂

$sales="[e-mail]";
$promote="[e-mail]";
$billing="[e-mail]";
$suggestions="[e-mail]";
$other="[e-mail]";

if ($to=$sales) {
 $outputemail = "[e-mail]";
} elseif ($to=$promote) {
 $outputemail = "[e-mail]";
} elseif ($to=$billing) {
$outputemail = "[e-mail]";
} elseif ($to=$suggestions) {
$outputemail = "[e-mail]";
} elseif ($to=$other) {
$outputemail = "[e-mail]";
} else {
 	break;
 }

Actually, you need to keep the '==' that's a comparison... Otherwise, sales would be getting every email. I think what you want to do is...

switch(strtolower($_POST['department']))
{
   case "sales enquiry":
      $outputemail = "[e-mail]";
      break;
   case "promotions and advertising":
      $outputemail = "[e-mail]";
      break;
   case "billing and payments":
      $outputemail = "[e-mail]";
      break;
   case "suggestions":
      $outputemail = "[e-mail]";
      break;
   case "other":
      $outputemail = "[e-mail]";
      break;
}

This code will take the department they selected (assuming you're using 'department' for the element name in the form, and set the proper $outputemail.

Thanks for that - you were right - everything going to the first email.
Though I can't get this new code to work - I guess it's because I am posting to a different file.

This is the html page: contact.html

<form name="contact" id="contact" method="post" action="php/contact.php">
<fieldset>
<ul class="contactForm">
<li><label for="to">What does your enquiry Concern? *</label>
<select name="to" id="to">
<option value="" selected="selected">Select one...</option>
<option value="sales">Sales enquiry</option>
<option value="promote">Promotion and advertising</option>
<option value="billing">Billing and payments</option>
<option value="suggestions">Suggestions</option>
<option value="other">Other</option>
</select></li>
</ul>
</fieldset>
</form>

This info gets posted to the php, contact.php

<?php

$name=$_POST['name'];
$company=$_POST['company'];
$telephone=$_POST['telephone'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$enquiry=$_POST['enquiry'];
$whichform=$_POST['whichform'];
}

switch(strtolower($_GET['to']))
{
   case "sales":
      $outputemail = "[e-mail]";
      break;
   case "promote":
      $outputemail = "[e-mail]";
      break;
   case "billing":
      $outputemail = "[e-mail]";
      break;
   case "suggestions":
      $outputemail = "[e-mail]";
      break;
   case "other":
      $outputemail = "[e-mail]";
      break;
} 


// Do something useful with the data collected...

$myname .= "me"; 
$myemail .="[e-mail]";

$message .= "Name : $name\r\n";
$message .= "Company : $company\r\n";
$message .= "Telephone : $telephone\r\n";
$message .= "Email : $email\r\n";
$message .= "Enquiry : $enquiry\r\n\r\n";

$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: ".$myname." <".$myemail.">\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: whatever";


mail(
"$outputemail", 
"MyServer - Contact - $messagegs", 
"$messagegs $message", 
"$headers");

header( "Location: http://www.myserver.com/thankyou.html?name=" . $_POST["name"] . "&email=" . $_POST["email"]);

?>

$GET pulls data from the query string (URL). $POST gets stuff from forms.

[lokust]

ah yes! thanks
