Hello,

I have a PHP contact form and I was wandering if there is a way to select with a drop-down on who emails go to for example. Help desk or Management. You click on the drop-down and select on who to send it to.

Take a look at this:

Also this:

Yes i'd use a switch statement for this

switch($select_box){
case 'Help Desk':
$to = "helpdesk@site.com";
break;
case 'support':
$to = "support@site.com";
break;
case 'general':
$to = "general@site.com";
break;
}

this switches through the select boxes post variable to select the appropiate email needed

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for that.

I'm having trouble adding it in to my form. How do you get the drop down.

Would that work with the form?? Because it php.

<select>
 <option value="mail@test1.com">Email 1</option>
 <option value="mail@test2.com">Email 2</option>
 <option value="mail@test3.com">Email 3</option>
 </select> 

Be casreful using something like this as it could lead to your contact form being used to spam others best option would be something like:

<select id="selectbox">
 <option value="support">Support</option>
 <option value="sales">Sales</option>
 <option value="general">General Enquiries</option>
 </select> 

Then in your PHP use the switch statement to check and set the correct email address

switch($select_box)
   {
     case 'support':
     $to = "support@site.com";
     break;
     case 'sales':
     $to = "sales@site.com";
     break;
     case 'general':
     $to = "general@site.com";
     break;
   }

It's not working when i add the email to where its ment to be. I have added the HTML

Replying "it's not working" doesn't tell us what is not working.

Try show what your code looks like.
