Dynamic email recipient box...

almeidaniel · January 14, 2011

Hi all,

I’m trying to build a contact form and I need the destination email to be dynamic...

This is what I got...

/* Admin emails */
$adminEmails = array('mail1@mailbox.pt', 'mail2@mailbox.pt'); 
/* Site Title */
$siteTitle = 'Demo Contact Form';
/* Email From */
$emailFrom = 'geral@mailbox.pt';

With this everything is working fine but I need the admin emails to assume a variable value...

This...

$myvar1  =  'mail1@mailbox.pt';
$myvar2 =  'mail2@mailbox.pt';

/* Admin emails */
$adminEmails = array($myvar1, $myvar2); 
/* Site Title */
$siteTitle = 'Demo Contact Form';
/* Email From */
$emailFrom = 'geral@mailbox.pt';

But This does not work...

Someone can help?

Sorry my English

This is the full script i'm using

Thanks in advance.

Even if that worked, I don't see the difference between the two, it's essentially the same thing minus the two variables.

Did you want to get the emails from a form? Tell us what you're trying to do.

If you mean "dynamic" as in "live search" (think: google - updates as you type), you'll most likely want a PHP/AJAX/MySQL solution. Google "live search php", and you'll get a handful of tutorials. I have very limited experience with AJAX, and it took a few tries, but it's not too hard to do. If you're good with AJAX/JavaScript, it'll probably be a lot easier.

On the other hand, if you mean 'dynamic', in the sense that clicking "Email Us" from the tech support page inserts "techsupport@domain.com", while clicking "Email Us" from the sales page inserts "sales@domain.com", that's a pretty easy chunk of PHP code.

Lastly, and I've only ever needed this once, if you want a "dynamic" feature where there are checkboxes (Sales, Support, Billing), and you want the email addresses updated with the proper email addresses depending on the checkboxes that are checked, that can be done relatively easy with JS.

First of all thanks for the replies.

When I use an email address everything works fine and the mail is sent... For example:

$adminEmails = array('mailbox1@geral.pt');

But if I replace the mailbox with a variable it gives me an error... For example:

$gvarsemail  = 'mailbox1@geral.pt';
$adminEmails = array($gvarsemail);

This is the error I receive:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 503 5.5.2 Need rcpt command in …\contact.php on line 126

This is the full script i'm using...



<?php
$gvars = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$gvarscln = explode("&", $gvars);
$gvarsemail =  $gvarscln[0];

/* Do you want to send a thank you email */
$sendThankYou = TRUE;

/* Require mental question challenge */
$mentalQuestion = TRUE;

/* Mental question list - the more, the
better secured you are from auto bots */

$mentalQuestionList[] = array("What is the square root of 169?","13");
$mentalQuestionList[] = array("What is the 1.3 divided by .2?","6.5");
$mentalQuestionList[] = array("What is the color of a green fire?","green");
$mentalQuestionList[] = array("LightPHPScripts rocks,true/false?","false");
$mentalQuestionList[] = array("2532 + 5328","7860");

Can you echo out '$gvarsemail' so we know exactly what you're passing in.
