Drop down selection to set e-mail recipient of form

[sidavis21]

Hi,

bit baffled with this but very newbie with php. I have an html form that works fine with the cgi script that our institution has provided for me to work with. What I would like however is the recipent of the form to be set by the users selection from a drop down list (if they choose "A" it goes to Mr. Brown, if they choose "B" it goes to Mrs. Smith etc).

I understand that I may need a switch statement that would set a variable depending on the selection made from the drop downlist but not sure how this would look or how the variable could then be used to set the e-mail address used which is currently set in a hidden field in the html code:

 
<input name="recipient" type="hidden" id="recipient" value="[e-mail]" />
 
 

Pretty sure this is fairly standard stuff but not really getting anywhere with it. Any clues?

Thanks a lot,

Si

You want to use a select.


in the form

<select name="emails">
<option value="MrJonesa thotmail.com">
MrJonesathotmai l.com</option>
<option value="MrSmitha thotmail.com">
MrSmithathotmai l.com</option>
</select>


------------------------

in the php code that recieves this....

if (IsSet($_POST['emails']){
$Emails = $_POST['emails'];
//the variable $Emails now contains the email

}
