Using Formmail.php and trying to select multiple recipients

[Maggie Blue]

Hi! Total "newbie to programming" here.

I'm using Jack's Formmail.php, code at:
http://www.dtheatre.com/scripts/sour.../formmail.phps

and I'm trying to figure out how I can have it send an identical message to
more than one recipient, based on a checkbox selected by the user who
submits the form.
<input type="checkbox" name="email1" value="recipient1" />Recipient 1
<input type="checkbox" name="email2" value="recipient2" />Recipient 2
<input type="checkbox" name="email3" value="recipient3" />Recipient 3

where "recipient[n]" is stored in the script:

"recipient1" = "em****@email.com"
"recipient2" = "em****@email.com"
"recipient3" = "em****@email.com"

If the user checks recipient1 AND recipient3, it would send the message to
both of the above e-mail addresses.

Is there a script out there that could do this better?
Any help you can give me would be very helpful!

Thanks so much,
Maggie

I noticed that Message-ID:
<6h*****************@newssvr30.news.prodigy.com> from Maggie Blue
contained the following:

<input type="checkbox" name="email1" value="recipient1" />Recipient 1
<input type="checkbox" name="email2" value="recipient2" />Recipient 2
<input type="checkbox" name="email3" value="recipient3" />Recipient 3

where "recipient[n]" is stored in the script:

"recipient1" = "em****@email.com"
"recipient2" = "em****@email.com"
"recipient3" = "em****@email.com"

Give the checkboxes the same name
<input type="checkbox" name="email[]" value="recipient1" />Recipient 1
<input type="checkbox" name="email[]" value="recipient2" />Recipient 2
<input type="checkbox" name="email[]" value="recipient3" />Recipient 3

then

$mailto=implode(",",$_POST['email'] );

Close but not complete since $_POST['email'] doesn't (and certainly
shouldn't) contain the emailadresses.

To compare the _values_ of $_POST['email'] with the _keys_ in
$recipient:

<input type="checkbox" name="email[]" value="0" />Recipient 0
....
<input type="checkbox" name="email[]" value="N" />Recipient N

$recipient[]="em****@example.com"
....
$recipient[]="em****@example.com"

$mailto="";
foreach(array_intersect(array_keys($recipient),arr ay_values($_POST['email']))
as $val)
{
$mailto.=$recipient[$val].',';
}
$mailto=trim($mailto,',');

It was late, I was in a hurry...and you have to leave some challenge for
the OP. <g>

Ooo! How mean! Especially since the OP doesn't know how to read any of that
stuff!
Thanks, everyone; I'll try it out this morning.
