Is it possible to send 5 emails from update page?

I am trying to have the update page send one of 5 different emails based on a selection from a menu. I would like that selection to be the trigger for which email gets sent.
Is this possible with universal email 4?

To clarify request....I have a status menu in the update form that will inform a client of the status of their order. I want to send out 1 of 5 different emails based on the status that is selected. How would I change the trigger to send a specific email based on the status selection?

you will need to hand edit the trigger code to accomplish this. the basic Submit button pressed trigger will look like this:

php:
if (isset($_POST["submit"])) {




you will need to edit that to use the select list and add a comparison, for example if one of the values posted by the list is "one":

php:
if (isset($_POST["selectListName"]) && $_POST["selectListName"] == "one") {

I'm doing something wrong. I keep getting just a blank page after upload. The status select list is pulling from a recordset, and I'm using the update form status field name.
Anyway below is what I listed and I get a blank page.

if (!isset($_SESSION))session_start();
if (isset($_POST["OrderStatus"])$_POST["OrderStatus"] == "1"); {

a blank page means there is a syntax error.

add the following code at line 1 to turn on error reporting:

php:
<?php

error_reporting
(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','on');
?>

That is what is strange about that. i have that code on line 1 and I still get a blank page. The page is 500 internal server error

the problem is caused by the semi colon in your if statement:

if (isset($_POST["OrderStatus"])$_POST["OrderStatus"] == "1"); {




this should be:

php:
if (isset($_POST["OrderStatus"])$_POST["OrderStatus"] == "1") {

I have tried it without it and get the same result.

you need spaces between the if statement and you need to add an AND clause to the second one:

php:
if (!isset($_SESSION)) session_start();

if (isset($_POST["OrderStatus"]) && $_POST["OrderStatus"] == "1") {
