Need "else if" Statement For PHP Script

Mr__J · Nov 22, 2007

I have a tell-a-friend PHP script that I'm already using successfully and I want to tweak it so that visitors can optionally send a notice to multiple email addresses.

I've named and added several new fields to the form. Can anyone tell me how to update the script to accomodate this?

I believe these are the attributes in the script which need configuration.

$tomail = $_POST["friend_email"];

//THE ADDITIONAL EMAIL FIELDS ARE NAMED
//friend_2, friend_3, friend_4, friend_5 

//send the email
mail ($tomail, $subject, $inputMessage,$from);

Thanks

Perhaps it would also help if I post the entire script below.

<?php

  $tomail = $_POST["friend_email"];

  //THE ADDITIONAL EMAIL FIELDS ARE NAMED
  //friend_2, friend_3, friend_4, friend_5

  $from = $_POST["sender_email"];
  $copyfrom = $_POST["sender_email"];
  $notifyMail = "contact@mywebsite.com";

  // Check the email address
