[RESOLVED] Php form

[mandukar]

hi I my name is Mandukar.

I am trying to create a form, so when the user has selected a name from the drop down menu and filled in the rest of the fields, the content would be sent to that name, how can I go about doing this in php?

<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<p>Your Name:
<input name="Your Name:" type="text" id="Your Name:">
</p>
<p>Your Email:
<input name="Your Email:" type="text" id="Your Email:">
</p>
<p>Which Leader would you like to contact?
<select name="Which leader would you like to contact?" id="Which leader would you like to contact?">
<option value="[RSE]Rh-vaurek">[RSE]Rh-vaurek</option>
<option value="[RSE]Mandukar">[RSE]Mandukar</option>
</select>
</p>
<p>Your Comments</p>
<p> <textarea name="Your Comments" cols="50" rows="10" id="Your Comments"></textarea>
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<input type="reset" name="Reset" value="Reset">
</p>
</form>

perhaps I should rephrase the question..

instead of sending the above fields to both myself and my friend, is there a way that I can tell the user to seclect my name or my friends and when thats done the form sends the information to the selected name.

heres a script i just recently found, how would I go about getting it to work with the above form script?

if ($POST['resort'] == 1)
{
$email = [e-mail];
} elseif ($POST['resort'] ==2 ) {
$email = [e-mail];
} else {
$error = "Not a valid resort!';
}

I've made a few changes to the form, and then if you use the PHP code at the bottom on the actin page of the form it will mail to whoever is selected

<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<p>Your Name:
<input name="Your Name:" type="text" id="Your Name:">
</p>
<p>Your Email:
<input name="Your Email:" type="text" id="Your Email:">
</p>
<p>Which Leader would you like to contact?
<select name="contact">
<option value="[e-mail]">Leader 1</option>
<option value="[e-mail]">Leader 2</option>
</select>
</p>
<p>Your Comments</p>
<p> <textarea name="YourComments" cols="50" rows="10" id="Your Comments"></textarea>
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<input type="reset" name="Reset" value="Reset">
</p>
</form>

<?php

$to = $_POST['contcat'];
$subject = "Web enquiry";
$message = $_POST['YourComments'];

mail($to, $subject, $message);

?>
