Mail Script Help
How do I make a PHP script so that there is a drop down menu with a list of names. Depending on the name/selection that the user selects it will send the e-mail to a different person. Also, how do I make it so that the form has a spot for a subject that the user can input?
For the subject I would like the subject in the e-mail to actually appear as "[Site Contact Us]_USER_SUBMITTED_SUBJECT_" Are either of these even possible?

we'll need your code to modify it for you.

Use the following codes as an example, and edit to your liking.
test.html
mailer.phpCode:<html> <head> <title>Contact Us</title> </head> <body> <form action="mailer.php" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="act" value="mail_it"> Your Name: <input type="text" name="name"> <BR> Your Email: <input type="text" name="email"> <BR> Subject: <input type="text" name="subject"> <BR> Who do you wish to contact?<BR> <select name="mailto"> <option value="">-- Choose One --</option> <option value="john">John Smith</option> <option value="ashley">Ashley M.</option> <option value="accounting">Accounting</option> </select> <BR> Message: <textarea cols="30" rows="10" name="message"></textarea> <BR> <input type="submit" value="Send Message"> </body> </html>
I haven't tested it out, but it should work. Let me know if you need any more help.PHP Code:<?php
$site = "http://mydomain.com/contact.php"; //your website url to redirect to
/* Edit the following array! Be sure to keep the format
'select option name' => 'select option email address'
Ex: 'john' => 'john@mydomain.com', ...*/
$to = array(
'john' => 'john@mydomain.com',
'ashley' => 'ashley@mydomain.com',
'accounting' => 'accounting@mydomain.com'
);
/*no need to edit below this*/
$name = $_REQUEST[name];
$email = $_REQUEST[email];
$mailto = $_REQUEST[mailto];
$subject = $_REQUEST[subject];
$message = $_REQUEST[message];
$act = $_REQUEST[act];
if ($act == "mail_it") {
$sendto = $to[$mailto];
$sub = '[Site Contact Us]_'.$subject;
$send = mail($sendto, $sub, $message);
if ($send) {
header('Refresh: 2; url='.$site);
echo 'Your message was sent successfully and you will recieve a response ASAP!';
}
else {
header('Refresh: 2; url='.$site);
echo 'Your message was not sent! Please try again.';
}
}
else {
header('Location: '.$site); //redirects user back to your website
}
?>

Alright, thanks! I have not been able to add it to my site yet, because the other guy in my web team hasn't registered on the host yet. But I will definately notify you if something doesn't work!
