Form handling for multiple recipients

[Anon]

I am trying to devise a way to pass a form's information to a one or many email addresses based on criteria selected in the form.

For example, If a form has a set of check boxes related to products and a user selects product 1 and product 7, I want the form to go to email address 1 and email address 7.

The idea is that from one form, users can contact a myriad of people regarding their inquiry or interest.

any help is appreciated.

ok just have form fields like
<input type=checkbox name="one">
<input type=checkbox name="two">
ect...

then when submit

<?
$email="";
if ($one=="checked")
{
$email=$email."[e-mail],";
}
if ($two=="checked")
{
$email=$email."[e-mail],"
}
ect....

then you have a list of email addies.. you can strip of the last , if you want that will be added onto it but this is to give you an idea how to do it.

then just use sendmail to mail all those recepients.

If you need more help let me know.
but $email will be a list of email addies to send to

?>

It's Broken Record time again:

Don't you dare use this method to bundle a bunch of email addresses together and send them all as the To: address, not unless they all know each other. Instead, to avoid cross-divulging them, send them in the extra headers as BCC: addresses.

You still have to have one real To: addresse, but it can even be yourself.

The main idea is to have a setup where a user can select interest in a range of items or topics and have their input contact the appropriate people at different locations.

The list of people should indeed be separate from one another and not know if the other people received a message at all, so the bcc route seems to be the best way.

Can you elaborate on how to send the messages as bcc's?

Thanks for the help.

$toemail="[e-mail]";
$title="The Title";
$message="The message of the stuff";

$headers="From: ".$email."\n"."Reply-To: ".$email."\n"."BCC:".$emaillist."\n";

$message=trim($message);
$headers=trim($headers);
$title=trim($title);

mail($toemail,$title,$message,$headers);

That should work, I didn't know how or what the emails were for and how they should be sent so i just gave you information above to solve your problem. So here is some more, if it works out for you great 🙂 if not read up on the Header stuff for the sendmail and the mail() call.
