Help with multiple email contact forms

joelw

ok I am my church's webmaster and i created a form so that whomever wants to contact the different areas of the church they can. now i got it to work fine but my question is there a way that i can have my drop drop box email a different email address for each topic such as if they choose pastor from drop down and submit it will go to his email or if they choose webmaster from the drop down it will go to my website. i have the code for the contact.php and the thank you page. if anyone could help i would be much appreciated.

again thanks for any help with this...

stolzyboy

if ($variable = "Pastor Stolzyboy")
{
$email = "pastor.stolzyboy@mychurch.org";
}
else if ($variable = "Pastor Someone")
{
$email = "pastor.someone@mychurch.org";
}
else
{
$email = "pastor.default@mychurch.org";
}

then put your $email in your mail() function

mail($email, $subject, $message, $from);

joelw

ok so i put that in the code where my email address is now in the thank you page right? and the $variable = "Pastor Stolzyboy" is where its calling from the contact page so last but not least can you show me in my code it would look?
Again thanks in advance

stolzyboy

it really can't get much more simple, you'll need to make sure your values match in your ifs... then just use the mail() line from the above post

if ($_POST['attn'] == "Pastor Rocky")
{
	$email = "whateveremail@mychurch.org";
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Pastor Lamar")
{
	$email = "whateveremail@mychurch.org";
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Pastor Doug")
{
	$email = "whateveremail@mychurch.org";
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Administration")
{
	$email = "whateveremail@mychurch.org";
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Daycare")
{
	$email = "whateveremail@mychurch.org";
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Webmaster")
{
	$email = "whateveremail@mychurch.org";
}
else
{
	$email = "defaultemail@mychurch.org";
}

you'll want the mail() AFTER the $email business

joelw

like this?

$from = "From: $visitormail\r\n";


if ($_POST['attn'] == "Pastor Rocky")
{
    $email = "joel_m_walker@yahoo.com",$subject, $message, $from);
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Pastor Lamar")
{
    $email = "joel.walker@mybrighthouse.com",$subject, $message, $from);
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Pastor Doug")
{
    $email = "joelw@tampabay.rr.com",$subject, $message, $from);
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Administration")
{
    $email = "whateveremail@mychurch.org",$subject, $message, $from);
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Daycare")
{
    $email = "whateveremail@mychurch.org",$subject, $message, $from);
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Webmaster")
{
    $email = "whateveremail@mychurch.org",$subject, $message, $from);

stolzyboy

i can't set it up where i'm at...

echo out the $email variable and make sure it echo's out... also make certain your values in your html are the same as what you are checking on in the if() statements

joelw

ok first what do you mean make sure to echo out the email can you show me an example
also do you mean make sure the contact.php info matches is that what you mean?

stolzyboy

after the if() statements, echo out $email

if()
.
.
.
.
AFTER all that!

echo $email;

and as far as the values, i mean, make sure that

<option value="Stolzyboy">

is the same as in your if statement when checking

if ($attn == "Stolzyboy")

joelw

if ($_POST['attn'] == "Pastor Rocky")
{
    $email = "rochambrick@juno.com" echo $email;
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Pastor Lamar")
{
    $email = "lamarcourtney@juno.com" echo $email;
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Celebrate Recovery")
{
    $email = "bordomoon@yahoo.com" echo $email;
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Administration")
{
    $email = "bckorber@yahoo.com" echo $email;
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Daycare")
{
    $email = "sdfarhadi@verizon.net" echo $email;
}
else if($_POST['attn'] == "Webmaster")
{
    $email = "joel.walker@mybrighthouse.com" echo $email;
}
else
{
    $email = "victory@victorynazarenechurch.org" echo $email;
}

stolzyboy

no, like this:

if ($_POST['attn'] == "Pastor Rocky")
{
    $email = "rochambrick@juno.com" 
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Pastor Lamar")
{
    $email = "lamarcourtney@juno.com" 
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Celebrate Recovery")
{
    $email = "bordomoon@yahoo.com" 
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Administration")
{
    $email = "bckorber@yahoo.com" 
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Daycare")
{
    $email = "sdfarhadi@verizon.net" 
}
else if($_POST['attn'] == "Webmaster")
{
    $email = "joel.walker@mybrighthouse.com" 
}
else
{
    $email = "victory@victorynazarenechurch.org" 
}

echo $email;

joelw

what happens if it works using:

mail("joel.walker@mybrighthouse.com", $subject, $message, $from);

which is only 1 email address but when i put an if statement in thats where im having the problem is there any other way to get this to work other then if else if statements?

Again thanks in advance i just want is to get it running.

now you can check it to see if it works just go to http://www.victorynazarenechurch.org/contact.php

joelw

ok heres the deal what i did is put my email address in everyone of the fields even the else statement at the end and it email me in each field then i switch the first one only and it still email my other email address so i change the last one which is the default else statement and it email to the right email address heres what it looks like now.

if ($_POST['attn'] == "Pastor Rocky")
{
   mail("joel_m_walker@yahoo.com", $subject, $message, $from);
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Pastor Lamar")
{
    mail("joel.walker@mybrighthouse.com", $subject, $message, $from);
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Pastor Doug")
{
    mail("joel.walker@mybrighthouse.com", $subject, $message, $from);
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Administration")
{
    mail("joel.walker@mybrighthouse.com", $subject, $message, $from);
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Daycare")
{
    mail("joel.walker@mybrighthouse.com", $subject, $message, $from);
}
else if ($_POST['attn'] == "Webmaster")
{
    mail("joel.walker@mybrighthouse.com", $subject, $message, $from);
}
else
{
    mail("joel_m_walker@yahoo.com", $subject, $message, $from);
}

so what should i do thanks in advance

stolzyboy

in the last code you posted, you didn't have your ending semicolons... are you receiving any errors?

did you echo out $email, does it have the email address in there?

joelw

no im not getting any errors with the code looking like this and second i tried to echo with the code you gave me i was then getting errors now how will echoing out the email help to fix this problem and how will the code look like if i wanted to try that

joelw

tryed to echo out the mail and still not working can i use a different way of creating the code such as case select statement

stolzyboy

whether or not it's a switch or an if... there is another underlying problem...

have you confirmed your values yet?

what errors are you getting when you try and echo out the email...

and, echoing out the email won't fix the problem, but it will aid in troubleshooting to see if the $email variable is even being set

post your full code for your pages
