PHP form with drop email option

bdavey311

Hello!

I'm trying to have a contact form that includes a drop down selection menu of about 5 different departments and once that selection has been made, after the form has been filled out - all the necessary information is then emailed to that selected department.

View the form here:
http://incentivo.dreamhosters.com/contact/contactNEW.html

The very first drop down should have multiple options but I've run into some issues and could use some guidance.

here is the PHP:

<?php
header("Location: /contact/thankyou.html");
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
       $departments = array();

   // $departments[] = array('Department Name', 'department@email.address');
   $departments[] = array('Finance Department', 'email@domain.com');
   $departments[] = array('Main Office', 'email@domain.com');
   $departments[] = array('Billing', 'email@domain.com');
   $departments[] = array('Other', 'email@domain.com');

   $to = "email@domain.com";

   if (is_numeric($_REQUEST['questiondropdown']) AND $_REQUEST['questiondropdown'] != '-1' AND array_key_exists($_REQUEST['questiondropdown'], $departments))
   {
       $to = $departments[$_REQUEST['questiondropdown']][1];
   }

   $subject = "LoHi Scooters Contact Form";
   $first_name = $_POST['firstname'];
   $last_name = $_POST['lastname'];
   $contact_email = $_POST['emailaddress'];
   $phone_1 = $_POST['phone1'];
   $address_1 = $_POST['address1'];
   $address_2 = $_POST['address2'];
   $contact_city = $_POST['city'];
   $contact_state = $_POST['state'];
   $contact_zipcode = $_POST['zipcode'];
   $contact_question = $_POST['questiondropdown'];
   $contact_subject = $_POST['subject'];
   $contact_message = $_POST['message'];
   $preferred_checkbox = $_POST['check[]'];

   foreach($_POST['check'] as $value)
       {
               $check_msg .= "Preferred Method of Contact: $value\n";
   }

   $body = "First Name: $first_name\nLast Name: $last_name\nE-Mail: $contact_email\n\nPhone: $phone_1\nAddress 1: $address_1\nAddress 2: $address_2\nCity: $contact_city\nState: $contact_state\nZip Code: $contact_zipcode\n\nMy Question is Regarding: $contact_question\nSubject: $contact_subject\n$check_msg \nMessage: $contact_message\n";

   echo "Data has been submitted to $to!";
   mail($to, $subject, $body);
}
else
{
       echo "Please use the form to email us.";
}
?>

At the very top there is a header("Location: /contact/thankyou.html"); that redirects to the thankyou page. Could this be causing me some problems?

And for what it's worth...Here is the HTML:

i see some kind of a php code in your html. in a normal html,
if it has not got .php extension, does not work.

to run those php commands, copy that file as .php ...

and lets see.

and yes, that is a mistake, to run in the first row that header location function.

the furst line, it send that file you set , but the other lines won't.

http://www.incentivo.org.br/contact/contactNEW.php

It doesn't include any of the other options.

I went through and had a different approach for a redirect so here is the updated PHP code:

<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
       $departments = array();

   // $departments[] = array('Department Name', 'department@email.address');
   $departments[] = array('Finance Department', 'email@domain.com');
   $departments[] = array('Main Office', 'email@domain.com');
   $departments[] = array('Billing', 'email@domain.com');
   $departments[] = array('Other', 'email@domain.com');

   $to = "bdavey@gmail.com";

   if (is_numeric($_REQUEST['questiondropdown']) AND $_REQUEST['questiondropdown'] != '-1' AND array_key_exists($_REQUEST['questiondropdown'], $departments))
   {
       $to = $departments[$_REQUEST['questiondropdown']][1];
   }

   $subject = "LoHi Scooters Contact Form";
   $first_name = $_POST['firstname'];
   $last_name = $_POST['lastname'];
   $contact_email = $_POST['emailaddress'];
   $phone_1 = $_POST['phone1'];
   $address_1 = $_POST['address1'];
   $address_2 = $_POST['address2'];
   $contact_city = $_POST['city'];
   $contact_state = $_POST['state'];
   $contact_zipcode = $_POST['zipcode'];
   $contact_question = $_POST['questiondropdown'];
   $contact_subject = $_POST['subject'];
   $contact_message = $_POST['message'];
   $preferred_checkbox = $_POST['check[]'];

   foreach($_POST['check'] as $value)
       {
               $check_msg .= "Preferred Method of Contact: $value\n";
   }

   $body = "First Name: $first_name\nLast Name: $last_name\nE-Mail: $contact_email\n\nPhone: $phone_1\nAddress 1: $address_1\nAddress 2: $address_2\nCity: $contact_city\nState: $contact_state\nZip Code: $contact_zipcode\n\nMy Question is Regarding: $contact_question\nSubject: $contact_subject\n$check_msg \nMessage: $contact_message\n";

$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=emailsuccess.php\">";
}
else{
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=emailerror.php\">";
} 


?>

i think in contactNEW.php lets see that foreach in the 81th line.

before use that foreach test if the foreached data is not null.

and i'm not good in arrays, but you create the array with a little mistake:

$departments[] = array('Finance Department'=>'bdavey@gmail.com');

The selection box has changed so I would imagine we're getting closer. Here is the updated code:

<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
       $departments = array();

   // $departments[] = array('Department Name', 'department@email.address');
   $departments[] = array('Finance Department'=>'email@domain.com');
   $departments[] = array('Main Office'=>'email@domain.com');
   $departments[] = array('Billing'=>'email@domain.com');
   $departments[] = array('Other'=>'email@domain.com');

   $to = "email@domain.com";

   if (is_numeric($_REQUEST['questiondropdown']) AND $_REQUEST['questiondropdown'] != '-1' AND array_key_exists($_REQUEST['questiondropdown'], $departments))
   {
       $to = $departments[$_REQUEST['questiondropdown']][1];
   }

   $subject = "LoHi Scooters Contact Form";
   $first_name = $_POST['firstname'];
   $last_name = $_POST['lastname'];
   $contact_email = $_POST['emailaddress'];
   $phone_1 = $_POST['phone1'];
   $address_1 = $_POST['address1'];
   $address_2 = $_POST['address2'];
   $contact_city = $_POST['city'];
   $contact_state = $_POST['state'];
   $contact_zipcode = $_POST['zipcode'];
   $contact_question = $_POST['questiondropdown'];
   $contact_subject = $_POST['subject'];
   $contact_message = $_POST['message'];
   $preferred_checkbox = $_POST['check[]'];

   foreach($_POST['check'] as $value)
       {
               $check_msg .= "Preferred Method of Contact: $value\n";
   }

   $body = "First Name: $first_name\nLast Name: $last_name\nE-Mail: $contact_email\n\nPhone: $phone_1\nAddress 1: $address_1\nAddress 2: $address_2\nCity: $contact_city\nState: $contact_state\nZip Code: $contact_zipcode\n\nMy Question is Regarding: $contact_question\nSubject: $contact_subject\n$check_msg \nMessage: $contact_message\n";

$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=emailsuccess.php\">";
}
else{
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=emailerror.php\">";
} 


?>

And you said something about viewing the 81st line - "before use that foreach test if the foreached data is not null." I'm not sure I follow.

Here is the HTML:
