hmp smart programming ... that would be where you come in. I was thinking and started doing it by making each phrase an array... and then trying to reference it and i was just going all wrong with it. I will try this snippet and let you know how things work out, if i can even figure this out haha.

[lesham]

If you could, show the complete code from head to toes, that would be great, trying to see what im doing right/wrong.

<?
/* The skeleton */

$who = $_POST['who'];
$typeOfInfo = $_POST['typeOfInfo'];

$nameOfWho = array(
1 => "Prospective insured",
     "Prospective agent",
     "Insured",
     "Agent",
     "Uknown Person"
);

$nameOfInfo = array(
1 => "Request Claim Information",
     "Request information about my policy",
     "Request information about obtaining my policy",
     "Request my password",
     "Comment on your website",
     "Contact you on an unlisted topic"
);

$list = array(
    "john.doe@mail.com",
    "Homer.Sexual@moes.com",
    "trustno1@aol.com",
    "foo@bar.com",
    "blah@the.net",
    "president@whitehouse.gov"
);

$typeOfInfoPeople = array(
1=> array("$list[0], $list[2]", NULL, NULL, NULL, $list[5]),
    array($list[1], $list[2], NULL, NULL, NULL, $list[5]),
    array(NULL, $list[2], NULL, $list[5], NULL, $list[5]),
    array(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, $list[5]),
    array(NULL, NULL, list[3], NULL, NULL, $list[5]),
    array("$list[0], $list[1]",
               "$list[0], $list[2]",
                     "$list[0], $list[3]",
                           "$list[0], $list[4]",
                                  "$list[0], $list[5]",
                                        "$list[0], $list[1], $list[2], $list[3], $list[4], $list[5]"
);

$post = "$name, a ". $nameOfWho[$who].
    " wants to ". $nameOfInfo[$typeOfInfo] .
    ":
    Additional comment was:
    $comment\n";

$mailing = $typeOfInfoPeople[$typeOfInfo][$who];

if (!$mailing) 
    die("We apologize. For the moment, we cannot provide feedback for ". $typeOfWho[$who]);
else {
    mail($mailing,
      "An information requested",
      $post) or die("Mail session failed! The query was not sent, contact the administrator");
?>

the form will change slightly to simplify variables:

<FORM action="myscript.php" method="post">
<SELECT NAME="who">
<OPTION VALUE="1">Prospective insured</option>
<OPTION VALUE="2">Prospective agent</option>
<OPTION VALUE="3">Insured</option>
<OPTION VALUE="4">Agent</option>
<OPTION VALUE="5" selected="selected">Uknown Person</option>
</SELECT>
<select name="typeOfInfo">
<OPTION VALUE="1">Request Claim Information</option>
<OPTION VALUE="2">Request information about my policy</option>
<OPTION VALUE="3">Request information about obtaining my policy</option>
<OPTION VALUE="4">Request my password</option>
<OPTION VALUE="5">Comment on your website</option>
<OPTION VALUE="6">Contact you on an unlisted topic</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Send query">
</form>
