HEADER

Im trying to build a form that emails the form submission to a different person based on a selection list.

For example, the question reads:
I would like more information on:
- Real Estate
- Membership
- Choice 3
- Choice 4

If someone chooses option 1, a copy of the form is emailed to department 1, if option 2, a copy goes to department #2, etc.

Is something like this possible? Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks

Possible, in the onsubmit before email :

Code: Select all

<?php
if($_POST['real_estate_field']){
$rows[0]->extraemail .= "rea_estate@yourdomain.com";
}
?>


and so...

Cheers

Max

Thank you for your prompt reply! However it's not working =/

I tried the above code and modded it to this to fit the value name:

Code: Select all

<?php
if($_POST['real_estate']){
$rows[0]->extraemail .= "email@domain.com";
}
?>


Also the page in question can be found here:

Also here is the bit of the form that's pertinate:

Code: Select all

<select name="more_info" size="4" multiple id="more_info">
            <option value="real_estate">Real Estate</option>
            <option value="membership">Membership</option>
            <option value="banquet">Banquet/Catering</option>
            <option value="employment">Employment</option>
             </select>


Hi, sorry my mistake, make this line like this :

Code: Select all

$rows[0]->extraemail .= ",rea_estate@yourdomain.com";

cheers

Max, thank you again for your reply. Still no dice on the extra E-mails coming in. The primary E-mail is receiving everything fine, just not the ones in here:

<?php
if($_POST['membership']){
$rows[0]->extraemail .= ",email@domain.com";
}
?>

Any other ideas? Thank you

Hi mancourt,

I'd add a line of diagnostic code in there:

Code: Select all

<?php
if ( $debug ) {
  echo "extraemail: "; print_r($rows[0]->extraemail);echo "<br />";
}
if ( $_POST['membership'] ) {
  $rows[0]->extraemail .= ",email@domain.com";
  if ( $debug ) {
    echo "extraemail: "; print_r($rows[0]->extraemail);echo "<br />";
  }
}
?>

when debug is on this should print out a line showing you what's in 'extraemail' before and after the change.

Bob, thanks again for your reply.

Here is what the debug code popped out:

_POST: Array ( [action] => submit [first_name] => NAME [last_name] => LAST NAME [street] => STREET ADDRESS [city] => Port Orange [state] => Florida [zip] => 32127 [phone_daytime] => [phone_evening] => [fax] => [email] => justin@mydomain.com [contact_preference] => E-mail Address [more_info] => membership [comments] => testing [button] => Submit )
Case 1: Use table layout
extraemail: mainemail@domain.com
E-mail: 'Yes' custom
Email sent

For some reason the extraemail field is just using whatever the default E-mail I setup, not the one I put in the PHP onsubmit field. It's as if the PHP onsubmit code isn't overriding the default E-mail address for the form.?

Hi mancourt,

The PHP check is checking

Code: Select all

if ( $_POST['membership'] ) {

but there's no 'membership' field there. I think it should be:

Code: Select all

Code:
<?php
if ( $debug ) {
  echo "extraemail: "; print_r($rows[0]->extraemail);echo "<br />";
}
if ( $_POST['more_info'] == 'membership' ) {
  $rows[0]->extraemail .= ",email@domain.com";
  if ( $debug ) {
    echo "extraemail: "; print_r($rows[0]->extraemail);echo "<br />";
  }
}
?>

Bob

Bob I think you nailed it! Thank you for the excellent support

Bob, wanted to follow up. Is it possible to get the code above to work with a checkbox scenario so it's easier for users to make multiple selections?

Hi mancourt,

Yes. Collect the checkbox replies in an array and then run through the array and add an email address for each entry in there.

Bob

Bob, you've already helped me out enough on this one, but could someone help me on building an "array" to make this possible?

Hi mancourt,

Use this kind of name for yoru checkboxes:

Code: Select all

<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[]" value="value_1" />
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[]" value="value_2" />
. . .

and the results will be in the 'checkbox' array.

Bob
