Don't get the drop down box? Look here.

[Scott]

I know i'm going to get questions on this so i'm going to explain it a bit better here without cluttering up the text in the script.

Drop down box usage:

First make sure you set $use_subject_drop to true, eample:

$use_subject_drop=true;

Next fill in the subjects you want to show in the drop down box. Example:

Example 1

PHP Code:

$subjects=array("Sales Department","Customer Service","Tech Support");
$emails=array("sales@domain.com","cust_service@domain.com","tech_support@domain.com"); 


Example 2

PHP Code:

$subjects=array("Department 1","Department 2");
$emails=array("sales@domain.com","cust_service@domain.com"); 


Note!
There MUST be as many values in $subjects as there are in $emails. They also must be in the same order. If I switch around the [b:7a7465bf48]Example 1[/b:7a7465bf48] you would have to re-order the emails also!

Example 3

PHP Code:

$subjects=array("Tech Support","Customer Service","Sales Department");
$emails=array("tech_support@domain.com","cust_service@domain.com","sales@domain.com"); 


If you have any more questions please post in this thread.

Do you know of an easy way to display a specific category by default from another page. For example, if a user clicks on Helpdesk, it will auto-select Helpdesk from the Department drop-down.

Thanks,

On line 528

Change this:

PHP Code:

<form method="post" action="><?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="phmailer" onsubmit="return Checkit(this);">

To this:

PHP Code:

<form method="post" action=">?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>?mail=>?=$_GET['mail'];?>" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="phmailer" onsubmit="return Checkit(this);"> 


And Line 557:

Change this:

PHP Code:

<?
while(list($key,$val)=each($subjects)) {?>

            <option value="<?=intval($key);?>"><?=htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($val));?></option>

<?}?>

To This:

PHP Code:

<?
while(list($key,$val)=each($subjects)) {
    If($_GET['mail']==$val) {
        $selected=" selected=\"selected\"";
    } Else {
        $selected="";
    }

?>

<option value="<?=intval($key);?>"<?=$selected;?>><?=htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($val));?></option>


<?}?>

And then when you link to the mail form, use something like this: phMailer.php?mail=HelpDesk, or phMailer.php?mail=Customer_Service

Hi, just install the script on my server. I try out the mailtest and manage to send an email. However when finish editing phMailer.php and uploaded it to the server, I was not able to send any message plus the drop down box did not appear. I have paste the edited PhMailer.php, any suggestion would be great

Thanks

When using a drop down menu is it possible to ensure that one of the options is selected.

I am looking to change one of my existing forms to use this script as it gives me nore options.

The Selection option is not linked to an email address but is allows the use to select the Section there team competes in (Section A, Section B, Section C etc); however I want to ensure they make a Selection.

Is this possible

Many thanks

[Scott]

It's always possible to make sure they select something. phMailer by default makes sure they select a email subject from the drop down so i'm not quite sure if you mean add a custom check or what?

[Gazza]

I probably haven't explained what I'm looking at very well, so you might want to look at the initial page I have put up on my Website, www.stroudskittles.co.uk/resultcard.php.

The idea is that the team can scan in their Result Card and email it to the Result Secretary rather than send by post. Initially I'm running this for one Section only, but hope to expand it to other Sections. What I want to enusre is that the visitor selects an option from the Drop Down Menu rather than leave the default (i.e. selects the Competition, two teams and Date).

I can't work out how to do this with php, but then again I've only recently discovered php for forms.

Any assistance would be appreciated

Many thanks

[Scott]
