   Hello,

   I need to be able to send form results to multiple and specific email addresses based on a selected radio button on my form. Example: If Radio Button A is selected, the results will go to a different email address than if Radio Button B is selected.

   I would appreciate the help. FYI: Very nice app!

   Hi Chuck,

   You can refer to this post :

   http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/email-from-a-drop-downlist?replies=9#post-2601

   It will send "specific" mail based on "drop down" selection, but i can be use for "option/radio" input also. Just make sure to change the form ID and element ID with yours.

   Hi,

   First, thanks redityo, the custom_hooks.php mod worked great. But another question: What would the code look like if I had two different "drop downs" on the same form that were to send emails to specific email addresses based on selections? For instance...form1 has a dropdown (element_3) and a dropdown (element_8); I need both to send to different emails based on the different option values of the dropdowns. I am crossing my fingers that this is easy for you. Let me know. Thanks.

   Hi,

   It seems you need to change some code, in my previous code, you can see these code :

   function form18_hook_email($params){
   
   	//change the email addresses below
   	$email_list[1] = 'sales@example.com';
   	$email_list[2] = 'hrd@example.com';
   	$email_list[3] = 'support@example.com';
   	$email_list[4] = 'accounts@example.com';
   	$email_list[5] = 'legal@example.org'; 
   
   	$res = do_query("select element_3 from ap_form_{$params['form_id']}
   where id='{$params['entry_id']}'");
   	$row = do_fetch_result($res);
   
   	$attn = $row['element_3'];
   
   	$target_email = $email_list[$attn];
   
   	if(!empty($target_email)){
   		return $target_email;
   	}else {
   		return true;
   	}
   }

   replace it with

   function form18_hook_email($params){
   
   	//change the email addresses below
   	//email address list for drop down 1
   	$email_list1[1] = 'sales@example.com';
   	$email_list1[2] = 'hrd@example.com';
   	$email_list1[3] = 'support@example.com';
   	$email_list1[4] = 'accounts@example.com';
   	$email_list1[5] = 'legal@example.org'; 
   
   	//email address list for drop down 2
   	$email_list2[1] = 'one@example.com';
   	$email_list2[2] = 'two@example.com';
   	$email_list2[3] = 'three@example.com';
   	$email_list2[4] = 'four@example.com';
   	$email_list2[5] = 'five@example.org'; 
   
   	$res = do_query("select element_3,element_8 from ap_form_{$params['form_id']}
   where id='{$params['entry_id']}'");
   	$row = do_fetch_result($res);
   
   	//get email for drop down 1
   	$attn = $row['element_3'];
   	$target_email = $email_list1[$attn]  ;
   
   	//get email for drop down 2
   	$attn = $row['element_8'];
   	$target_email .= "," . $email_list2[$attn];
   
   	if(!empty($target_email)){
   		return $target_email;
   	}else {
   		return true;
   	}
   }

   After that, go to this code in "helper-functions.php"

   if($target_is_admin){
   
   	if(function_exists("form{$form_id}_hook_email")){
   
   		$carbon_param['form_id'] = $form_id;
   		$carbon_param['entry_id'] = $entry_id;
   		$carbon_email = call_user_func("form{$form_id}_hook_email",$carbon_param);
   
   		if(!empty($carbon_email)){
   				$mail->AddAddress($carbon_email);
   				$mail->Send();
   			}
   		}
   }

   then change it to

   if($target_is_admin){
   
   if(function_exists("form{$form_id}_hook_email")){
   
   	$carbon_param['form_id'] = $form_id;
   	$carbon_param['entry_id'] = $entry_id;
   	$carbon_email = call_user_func("form{$form_id}_hook_email",$carbon_param);
   
   	if(!empty($carbon_email)){
   			$email_address 	= explode(',',$carbon_email);
   
   			foreach ($email_address as $email){
   				$email = trim($email);
   				if(!empty($email)){
   					$mail->AddAddress($email);
   					$has_email = true;
   
   				}
   			}
   			$mail->Send();
                           $mail->ClearAddresses();
   		}
   	}
   }

   those code will send notification based on drop down (element_3) and drop_down (element_8) email list

   Hi redityo,

   Thank you for the quick response and great code. It works perfectly. There are two more parts to this particular form that have come up and are what I would consider, minor details. What I mean is that I could live without these fixes if necessary. The form is already so feature rich it is sick. The code above you provided HAS solutioned all the particular email addresses that I need to receive the form data. The two emails that you set in the Admin area are not necessary to me. In fact, let me ask the following two questions:

   1) In the Admin Control Panel/Manage Forms/Form Name/Emails/Your Users....Is it possible to have the "From Email address" be set to one of the element_id list option emails shown above in the custom_hooks.php file that will be chosen by a user during form submission? Is there a template variable that I can insert there based on your code above?

   2) In the Admin Control Panel/Manage Forms/Form Name/Emails/Send notification emails to You.......does it disrupt the script to not fill in the "Your Email Address" so that it is blank and set that "Notifications will be sent to: nobody". For this particular form, there are no other email notifications necessary.

   I appreciate your help.

   Chuck
