PHP Email form

Howdy...
Basically i have a form at www.loddonexplorers.co.uk/contact.php ... i know it dosent look good because i worry about cosmetics after it works! I would like a PHP email form basically.. BUT.. i want it to be able to email two address... So when i select Webmaster it emails webmaster@loddonexplorers.co.uk when you click submit, or when you select enquiries it emails enquiries@loddonexplorers.co.uk

Any help would be appreciated! Cheers

if (_Post[Contact] == "webmaster" ) {

$toemail = "webmaster@loddonexplorers.co.uk";

} else {

}

Well as i dnt know lol can someone else help me out? Cheers for that tho buddy

When you say "select" are we talking radio buttons?

If so, you will have 2 of them like so..


<input type="radio" name="toemail" value="webmaster@loddonexplorers.co.uk" />
<input type="radio" name="toemail" value="enquiries@loddonexplorers.co.uk" />


That way, when the form is submitted, the variable $_POST['toemail'] (assuming your posting and not getting) will either be webmaster@loddonexplorers.co.uk or enquiries@loddonexplorers.co.uk

And your php would be like...


// if user clicks send
if($_POST['submit']=="Send") {
// send the email here, using $toemail to specify where to send.
}


Hope this helps.

it's probably full of bugs (haha) but I think I've got the general idea of whatcha after:

<?php

$name = $_POST['name'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$email = $_POST['email'];

if ($_POST['contact'] == 'webmaster')
{
$email_to = '"Webmaster" <webmaster@londonexplorers.co.uk>';
}else{
$email_to = '"Enquiries" <enquries@londonexplorers.co.uk>';
}

mail($email_to, $name, $message, $email);

exit()
?>


corrected code error :)

Lol hi again.. any idea how to fix the error on the website?

http://www.loddonexplorers.co.uk/form_mailer.php

the script is exactly the same as weazels

A slight error in weazels code:

change:


$name = $_POST['name'];
$message = $_POST['message;];
$email = $_POST['email'];


to:


$name = $_POST['name'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$email = $_POST['email'];

oops, :o - I wrote that quick ;)

lol thanks.. um another error... Parse error on line 2

<?php

$name*=*$_POST['name'];
$message*=*$_POST['message'];
$email*=*$_POST['email'];*

if ($_POST['contact'] == 'webmaster')

$email_to = '"Webmaster" <webmaster@londonexplorers.co.uk>';
}else{
$email_to = '"Enquiries" <enquries@londonexplorers.co.uk>';
}

mail($email_to, $name, $message, $email,);

exit
?>

again avaliable to see at the website mentioned above

Sorry, I missed another error in the original code (sorry weazel, but that wasnt your day :p )

change this section here, adding a curly brace below the if($_POST.....) bit.

if ($_POST['contact'] == 'webmaster')
{
$email_to = '"Webmaster" <webmaster@londonexplorers.co.uk>';
}else{
$email_to = '"Enquiries" <enquries@londonexplorers.co.uk>';
}

Thanks for the help... still getting the parse error on line 2 (see above)

Well, there are some asterisks *, in there:


$name*=*$_POST['name'];
$message*=*$_POST['message'];
$email*=*$_POST['email'];*


I dont know how they got there though, they shouldnt be in there.

ah well....^%$" happens :)

the astrix dont appear on my version.. heres my current version..

<?php

$name*=*$_POST['name'];
$message*=*$_POST['message'];
$email*=*$_POST['email'];

if*($_POST['contact']*==*'webmaster')
{
$email_to*=*'"Webmaster" <webmaster@londonexplorers.co.uk>';
}else{
$email_to*=*'"Enquiries" <enquries@londonexplorers.co.uk>';
}

mail($email_to,*$name,*$message,*$email,);

exit()
?>


Still getting a parse error.. if we cant fix this anyone know of another script?

EDIT : OK.. I dont know why they the astrix appear.. they arnt on my clipboard!

remove the last , from the mail function -

instead of

mail($email_to, $name, $message, $email,);



mail($email_to, $name, $message, $email);


I don't know why the hell them asterisks are appearing tho.

<?php

$name*=*$_POST['name'];
$message*=*$_POST['message'];
$email*=*$_POST['email'];

if*($_POST['contact']*==*'webmaster')
{
$email_to*=*'"Webmaster" <webmaster@londonexplorers.co.uk>';
}else{
$email_to*=*'"Enquiries" <enquries@londonexplorers.co.uk>';
}

mail($email_to,*$name,*$message,*$email);

exit()
?>


Code is above.. www.loddonexplorers.co.uk/form_mailer.php... still getting a parse error.. ignore the stars they should be there, dnt know y they r... if you want the code without the stars just let me know

might be an idea to check the form, that could cause the problem especially if line 2 then relates to a variable that isn't actually being passed...

I belive its a problem with the server because weazel tried it on his server and it seemed to work ok

another thing I have had problem with before is the format the file is saved in.

I use Textpad for all my coding work, and it has the ability to save files as unix, Mac, or PC. Could that be the problem? especially as there appears to be an * problem... thinking of which... Where the * appear on here, go through and change/delete the character that is there even if it appears to be correct in your code and see if that has any effect.
