Send to email address based on a drop down choice

Is there a tutorial on how to do this?

I need the contact form to be sent to an email addresses associated to a drop down they select.

Thanks!

Hi ThatComputerDude,

The basic code is in FAQ 31 - that's probably enough, there are also several threads here with variants on the theme. Searching on the FAQ should find them.

Hey Bob, thanks for the response.

I'm in the process of trying FAQ31 but I'm not sure I completely understand it. I'll play around with it and if I get stuck on something, I'll start asking questions.

Thanks!

On Submit code - before sending email:

<?php
$emails_2 = array('Service Support'=>'mike.mayleben@intrustgroup.com', 'Sales'=>'mike.mayleben@intrustgroup.com', 'Job Opportunity'=>'mike.mayleben@intrustgroup.com', 'Speaking Engagement'=>'mike.mayleben@intrustgroup.com', . . .);
$MyForm =& CFChronoForm::getInstance('contact');
$MyFormEmails =& CFEMails::getInstance($MyForm->formrow->id);
$MyFormEmails->setEmailData(1, 'to', $emails_2[$_POST['recipients']]);
?>

Setup Emails

Dynamic To - select_4

Dynamic Subject - select_4

Dynamic Fromname - text_0

Dynamic FromEmail - text_7




What am I doing wrong that isn't allowing this to work? (i'm guessing it's in the way I setup, Setup Emails...? **** the email addresses are all the same just for testing purposes, they'll be changed to different names once I get this working.

Ok I followed this thread and figured it out:

Problem solved! Thanks🙂
