Form Processor - multiple recipients

[rlhanson]

from my current form processor:

 //Format Email
$email    = username@domain.com;
$subject  = "Contact Form";
$headers  = "From: $vis_email\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
//Send Email
mail($email,$subject,$message,$headers); 
  

If I have a form which has a list menu of departments - can I program in the form processor to mail the form to a particular recipient and not all?
Can anyone talk me through the concept of what I need to do with programming?

Thanks in advance!

You mean a select box? Just name it email.

 <select name=email>
<option value="support@dude.com">Cool dudes</option>
<option value="flimflam@stoopid.com">Morons</option>
</select> 
  

Then when you submit -

$email=$_REQUEST['email'];

I am trying to hide the email addresses in the form page so I need to assign $email1, $email2 in the form processor....

wouldn't I need some sort of if else statement?

[jmarcv]

 <select name=mailnum>
<option value="1">Cool dudes</option>
<option value="2">Morons</option>
</select> 
  

Welcome to numbered arrays

 $mail[1]='support@dude.com';
$mail[2]='flimflam@stoopid.com';
 
$email=$mail[$_REQUEST['mailnum']];

THANKS John-Marc!

Also, do you know if I use a script like the one below - will email miners still grab the email:

<script language=javascript>
  <!--
  var recipient = "e-mail"
  var email = "user"
  var Host = "domainname.com"
  document.write("<a href=" + "mail" + "to:" + email + "@" + Host+ ">" + recipient + "</a>" + "!")
  //-->
</script>

Most likely not, but that is such a well know script, why not disguise a little further? - just in case...

   var recipient = "e-mail"
  var z1 = "user";
  var z2 = "domainname";
  var z3 = "com";
  var s1 = "@";
  var s2 = ".";
  document.write("<a href=" + "mai" + "lto:" +z1+s1+z2+s2+z3 ">" + recipient + "</a>" + "!") 
  

In fact, I tend to avoid 'email' as a name of a var anyway, because some bots reading the form can figure it out and start hitting the form with a POST of their own.

okay - this makes sense to me, believe it or not!

Very helpful information as always John-Marc!

[jmarcv]

Of course I believe it. You are a bright little girl!

[rlhanson]
