Hi Guys

Ive made a PHP contact form but cant seem to make a handler that works

the PHP form code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Email Form </title>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
<body>
<form action="sendemail.php" method="post" class="style1">

<div align="left">Your Name:
<input type="text" name="visitor" size="35" />
<br />
<br />
Your Email:
<input type="text" name="visitormail" size="35" />
<br />
<br />
Department
:
<select name="attn" size="1">
<option value=" Sales n Billing ">Sales n Billing </option>
<option value=" General Support ">General Support </option>
<option value=" Technical Support ">Technical Support </option>
<option value=" Webmaster ">Webmaster </option>
</select>
<br />
<br/>
Mail Message:
<br />
<textarea name="notes" rows="4" cols="40"></textarea>
<br/>
<br/>
Your IP:<?php echo $ipi ?><br />
<br/>
<input type="submit" value="Send Mail" />
<br/>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

I need a handler where if they select sales it sends to sales@yourdomain.com and if you choose techinical it sends to support@yourdomain.com etc

Many thanks

Can you describe the problem you are having a little better? I can probably help if I can figure out what you are looking for.

Also, I'm not sure I understand what you mean about putting the IP address in a box. Do you mean in an input box, or you just want it surrounded by an outline?

IP Address in an Input box

The problem i am having is i cannot get it to send to multiple addresses depending on what department they have chosen to send it to

So if they choose sales it will send to the sales email adress and if they choose support it will send to the support email address etc

For the IP address thing, you could do something like this (assuming that $ipi is a defined variable).

<input type="text" name="ipaddress" size="35" value="<?php echo $ipi ?>" />

Your sendemail.php is your handler. In there, you need to check the value of $_POST['attn'] to determine which address to send to. Or are you trying to send to multiple e-mail addresses? Like if they choose sales, are you trying to send to abc@abc.com and def@abc.com?

the way itl work is if they choose sales it sends to sales and if they choose support it sends to support

Could anyone right me a handler for this script

You need to do something like the following in the handler:

if ($_POST['attn'] == ' Sales n Billing ')
{
$to = 'sales@abc.com';
}
elseif ($_POST['attn'] == ' General Support ')
{
$to = 'support@abc.com';
}
elseif ....

Then you just send the e-mail to whoever is stored in $to.

$todayis = date("l, F j, Y, g:i a") ;
$attn = $attn ;

here is something that will make your ip show up <?php echo $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]; ?> that works I tested your script I notice you had an error line 34 now I got another mail script for you that works great .. has features just like yours .. it just has alot more to it .. but it's more easier to understand ..
