Sending email to a multiple select list from a filtered recordset

Hi Ray, I've got a form which originally sent emails to a whole recordset, however the client has asked for this to be changed to a select list so that they can select specific people to email instead. I found another post which recommended using the DA Search behavior to filter the recordset, however I suspect I've got something in the wrong order or haven't connected something up properly as it's still emailing all the addresses in the recordset even I only select a couple. Would you mind taking a look for me? Copy of page attached.

Yes, you have the search code below the recordset code. Move lines 57-63 above the recordset that begins on line 51.

I tried that but it doesn't send the email and after submission the email addresses no longer show up in the select list so it looks like it's filtering out the whole recordset (which I presume is why it also doesn't send the email!)

The issue is with the select list... you have:

<option value="$rsUsersEmail->getColumnVal("user_email")">

it should be:

<option value="<?php echo($rsUsersEmail->getColumnVal("user_email")); ?>">

We're getting somewhere, it's now sending to the first selected email but not any others. Following submission it filters the list to only show the first email address in the recordset. I've added FTP details in the PM and attached an updated page.

Change your select name from:
<select name="users"

to:
<select name="users[]"

You need to name it with brackets to support multiple selections with PHP.

That's working now! Just one other thing, I need to clear that filter after the email has been sent as the list then only displays the emails that have been chosen. I added the following above the Search PHP block:

<?php
@session_start();
if ((isset($_GET['reset']) && $_GET['reset'] != "")){
// WA_ClearSession
$clearAll = FALSE;
$clearThese = explode(",","searchrsUsersEmail_WADbSearch1");
if($clearAll){
foreach ($_SESSION as $key => $value){
unset($_SESSION[$key]);
}
}
else{
foreach($clearThese as $value){
unset($_SESSION[$value]);
}
}
}
?>

Then set the email form redirect as follows:

$Email->Redirect = "firm-overview2?sent=true&reset=true";

It redirects and sends the emails but doesn't clear the search filters.

Use:
$searchrsUsersEmail_WADbSearch1->clearSearch();

I may have put that in the wrong place - is this what you meant?

<?php
@session_start();
if ((isset($_GET['reset']) && $_GET['reset'] != "")){
// WA_ClearSession
$clearAll = FALSE;
$clearThese = explode(",","$searchrsUsersEmail_WADbSearch1->clearSearch()");
if($clearAll){
foreach ($_SESSION as $key => $value){
unset($_SESSION[$key]);
}
}
else{
foreach($clearThese as $value){
unset($_SESSION[$value]);
}
}
}
?>
