a good place to look for creating rules based data in form

[mgworek]

Like I said yesterday, I am new and wanting to learn.

On my form that I created that the data is being sent into a database, I also want to create rules to send outgoing email 1 of 5 people depending on something that was entered in the form.

This might be too complex for a newbie like me, if you think it is, just tell me.

But I am hoping for a site or book to get to read up on it and learn how to do it.

Thank you.

That should be no problem really,
simply set retrieve the variables that are being submit and run an if statement.
<?
if($_POST["foo"] == "value"){
//set addressee here
}
if($_POST["foo2"] == "value"){
//set addressee here
}
?>

then use PHP's mail function.. heres some links.

I guess I am doing this wrong. I tried it your way and I also tried it a few different ways. It works with just telling it to send out 2 different emails, no if statements. Then it worked with only one if statement but when I put two if statements, no emails get sent out.

yes, i have all my php in one thing, that might not be standard practice but i am just testing.

<?php
$Company = $_POST[Company];
$Phone = $_POST[Phone];
$Email = $_POST[Email];

$Subject = "try this";
$To = "[e-mail]";
$Msg = $Company;
$Sales = "VT Sales";
$Subject1 = "Thank you for your submission";
$Msg1 = "Please do not respond to this email. <br> Your lead has been forwarded to the correct sales person. <br> you should hear something back soon!";
$Msg2 = "Nick";
$Msg3 = "bite";
if ($_Post["Company"]== "bayfront")
{
mail( $To, $Subject, $Msg, "From: $Company <$Email>");
mail( $Email, $Subject1, $Msg1, "From: $Sales");
}
if ($_Post["Company"]== "voicetech")
{
mail( $To, $Subject, $Msg, "From: $Company <$Email>");
mail( $Email, $Subject1, $Msg1, "From: $Sales");
}
# mail( $To, $Subject, $Msg3, "From: $Company <$Email>");
# mail( $Email, $Subject1, $Msg2, "From: $Sales");

$query= "INSERT INTO partner (Company, Phone, Email) VALUES ('$Company', '$Phone', '$Email')";
echo '<p>',$query;
mysql_query($query) or die('<p>problem with query:'. mysql_error());
?>
