I want to send an e-mail to the e-mail address on the form so that they have acknowledgement of thier form entry.

I would also like to populate it with some of the variales they used in their form entry.

Thanks

Hi,
#1- use the dynamic To
#2- this needs a small custom php code, let me know more info to help!

Hi,

Have you an example of the php code,

and what value do I put in the dynamic to field?

Thanks

#1- the dynamic To should have the field name which will hold the email address of the target user!
#2- the code depends on what you need to do, give me more details with fields names if possible!

Hi Max,
decbuck didn't continue the thread, so I will from the last point...

I want to send the POST to two different address:
1) An address which I pull from the database.
2) The email address which the user fill in the form, so I can send a feedback.

I thought that for the first one, I should add a hidden field (name="mail_to") and use simple query to echo the value in from the db.
For the second mail, I don't see why do I need any code. If I put the name of the filed (let's say: name="email") in the Dynamic_to, it is not enough?

Thanks,
Emanuel.

Hi Emanuel,

Your ideas are correct and will work but we don't suggest adding any email addresses in the form even using hidden fields, you may add this code n the onSubmit before email:

JRequest::setVar('mail_to', 'email address here');

and use the mail_to in the Dynamic To!

There is another method using the mail class in Chronoforms posted here in the forums!

Cheers,
Max
