[RESOLVED] contact us form...

steveDD

I have searched around looking for a simple contact script i.e. name, department, message content, which will submit to an email account.

However within the form I want to have different email accounts and all the scripts I can find all seem to go to one.

Say I have different departments,

customer service --> cs@mysite.com
technical --> tech@mysite.com

Cheers in advance guys.

This sounds like a pretty easy project and a great way to start learning PHP.

I'd be glad to help you if you post up some code.

Or find one of those contact scripts you've looked at so far that you find otherwise to your liking, and simply add a field (select list?) to the form and a little bit of PHP code to the form-handler to set the "to" address based on that selection, et voilà!

</head>
<body>

<form method="post" action="sendmail.php">

<?php
$ipi = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$httprefi = getenv ("HTTP_REFERER");
$httpagenti = getenv ("HTTP_USER_AGENT");
?>

<input type="hidden" name="ip" value="<?php echo $ipi ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="httpref" value="<?php echo $httprefi ?>" />

& the PHP sendmail.php

<?php

$ip = $_POST['ip']; 
$httpref = $_POST['httpref']; 
$httpagent = $_POST['httpagent']; 
$visitor = $_POST['visitor']; 
$visitormail = $_POST['visitormail'];

$attn = $_POST['attn'];


if (eregi('http:', $notes)) {
die ("Do NOT try that! ! ");
}
if(!$visitormail == "" && (!strstr($visitormail,"@") || !strstr($visitormail,"."))) 
{
echo "<h2>Use Back - Enter valid e-mail</h2>\n"; 
$badinput = "<h2>Feedback was NOT submitted</h2>\n";
echo $badinput;
die ("Go back! ! ");
}

if(empty($visitor) || empty($visitormail) || empty($notes )) {
echo "<h2>Use Back - fill in all fields</h2>\n";
die ("Use back! ! "); 
}

$todayis = date("l, F j, Y, g:i a") ;

$attn = $attn ; 
$subject = $attn; 

$notes = stripcslashes($notes); 

$message = " $todayis [EST] \n

Replace

<option value=" steve ">steve </option> 
<option value=" paul ">paul </option> 
<option value=" john ">john </option> 
<option value=" info ">info </option>

with (spaces removed)

<option value="steve">steve</option> 
<option value="paul">paul</option> 
<option value="john">john</option> 
<option value="info">info</option>

replace

mail("MYEMAIL", $subject, $message, $from);

with

switch($attn){
  case 'steve': $to = 'steve@mydomain.com'; break;
  case 'john': $to = 'john@otherdomain.com'; break;
  case 'paul': $to = 'paul@samedomain.com'; break;
  default: $to = 'steve@mydomain.com, john@otherdomain.com, paul@samedomain.com';
}
mail($to, $subject, $message, $from);

A more efficient method may be to store the addresses in an array and match the key to $_POST['attn']

i.e.

$addresses = array('steve' => 'steve@info.com', 'john' => 'john@paul.com', 'paul' => 'paul@ringo.com');
$addresses['info'] = implode(", ", $addresses); // all addresses
if(in_array($_POST['attn'], $addresses))
  $to = $addresses[$_POST['attn']];
else 
  $to = $addresses['info'];
mail($to, $subject, $message, $from);

You should also sanitize your $_POST data before using it and supply the proper content-type in the mail headers.

All code is untested.
