Send email using cgi 1

[shruti18]

Hello
I am trying to write a form which sends email on the basis of selection made in the drop down item of one the form fields.
So, there is an email address associated with every choice in the drop down. When the submit button of the form is clicked, the data of the form should be emailed to that corresponding email got from the selection made in the dropdown.
Could anyone suggest me how to do this?
Thanks!

You could do a check at the beginning of the script that ensures that no email generated unless the recipient address is matched against an array of allowable values.


Kind Regards

You could use a drop down for names, and use the name to look up a hash

$mail{'bill'}="bill\@domain.com";
$mail{'phil'}="phil\@domain.com";
$mail{'dill'}="dill\@domain.com";
$mail{'lill'}="lill\@rugrats.com";
$name=param('name');
if ($name eq "") {
  $mailaddress="default\@domain.com";
} else {
  $mailaddress=$mail{$name};
}
