Variable to control $recipientEmail

Hi,
Your extensions work great. I have built a simple submission form requiring name, email address and a location from a dropdown menu (a US state: strcmp). I would like to send the completed form to a different recipient depending on which state(s) are chosen - as if to different sales reps in different regions.

Can anyone tell me how to correctly do this? I think I know how conceptually, but I can't get the syntax right.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Leif Baker

What do you have so far for setting this up? You will want to set the $RecipientEmail to be different based on the different state. How is the state set up? Is it from a form and is the form's method post?

Now the recipient is :
_______________________________________________________________
if ((($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") && (isset($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]) && strpos(urldecode($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]), urldecode($_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"])) > 0) && isset($_POST))) {
//WA Universal Email object="mail"
//Send Loop Once Per Entry
$RecipientEmail = "leifbaker@nj.rr.com";include("WA_Universal_Email/WAUE_forms_1.php");
_______________________________________________________________________

while the states come from a drop down list, like here:
__________________________________________________________________________
<option value="AL" <?php if (!(strcmp("AL", (isset($_GET["invalid"])?ValidatedField("forms","Contact_me_group_State"):"")))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>>Alabama</option>
__________________________________________________________________________

I've included the form page as a PDF file.
Any help you can give me will be appreciated.

Thank you,

Ok, so you will want to have an switch statement based on the post value of the drop down list. Basically you'd want to set up a switch statement:
control-structures.switch.php

switch((isset($_POST["select"]))?$_POST["select"]:"") {

  case "AL":

    $RecipientEmail =  "leifbaker@nj.rr.com";include("WA_Universal_Email/WAUE_forms_1.php");

    break;

}

You would want a different case for each of the states.

... i"m afraid I still can't get it to work

I tried like this -
________________________________________

if ((($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") && (isset($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]) && strpos(urldecode($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]), urldecode($_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"])) > 0) && isset($_POST))) {
//WA Universal Email object="mail"
//Send Loop Once Per Entry
//$RecipientEmail = "leifbaker64@hotmail.com";include("WA_Universal_Email/WAUE_forms_1.php");

switch((isset($_POST["select"]))?$_POST["select"]:"") {
case "AL":
$RecipientEmail = "leifbaker@nj.rr.com";include("WA_Universal_Email/WAUE_forms_1.php");
break;
case "AK":
$RecipientEmail = "leifbaker64@hotmail.com";include("WA_Universal_Email/WAUE_forms_1.php");
break;
case "AZ":
$RecipientEmail = "leifbaker64@yahoo.com";include("WA_Universal_Email/WAUE_forms_1.php");
break;
}

//Send Mail All Entries
if (""!="") {
header("Location: ");
}
}

______________________________________________________

but that didn't work.
I tried a couple other ways, also , with equal results (none).

Can you tell me exactly how I should set this switch up?

Thanks,

Its possible that the select list value isn't being populated correctly or we're not reading it correctly. Try putting this above the code switch code:
die((isset($_POST["select"]))?$_POST["select"]:"not set");

this will cause the select list value to be output when the form is run.

That merely makes the page return "not set".
I made a simpler version of the form. I've attached it as a PDF.

There's got to be a simple way to do this that we're overlooking.
It's probably a syntax error on my part.
I didn't think it would be so complicated. But I'm grateful for you efforts.

Any help you or anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,
Leif Baker

Sorry, I think the first time I sent you the code, I looked at the wrong form, so I sent you the wrong code. The select list name is "Contact_me_group_State", so you'd want to get the post variable with that, not the "select" post variable. That is why the variable is not set.

In the switch statement, try using this instead:

switch((isset($_POST["Contact_me_group_State"]))?$_POST["Contact_me_group_State"]:"") {

You can take out the testing code I sent you earlier:

die((isset($_POST["select"]))?$_POST["select"]:"not set");

that did it.
Thanks for all your help.

Great to hear it. If you run into any additional issues, feel free to open a new thread.
