[RESOLVED] Really easy PHP email question

[wwwfilmfilercom]

Hi this is easy but I've forgotten it and can't find the answer!

I have a form used to email and I have a combobox on my page.

What I want to do is change the subject of my email depending on what the user selects on the combobox - how do I do this again???

Heres my PHP:

<?PHP

$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Martin Page";
$message = "Name: " . $name;
$message .= "\nEmail: " . $email;
$message .= "\n\nMessage: " . $message;

$headers = "From: $theEmail";
$headers .= "\nReply-To: $theEmail";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";

$sentOk = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

?>

Any help folks?

<select name="subject">
  <option value="Example Subject">Example Subject</option>
</select>

$subject = $_POST['subject']; 

Although you should validate the subject against the list again, otherwise a h4x0r could use send anything.

So, better:

<?php
$subjects = array(
  'meat',
  'vegetables'
);
?>
[...]
<select name="subject">
  <?php foreach($subjects as $subject): ?>
    <option value="<?php echo $subject ?>"><?php echo $subject ?></option>
  <?php endforeach; ?>
</select>
[...]

and when sending the email:

$subject = in_array($_POST['subject'], $subjects) ? $subject : 'No or invalid subject specified';

Excellent thanks for that!

Oh no - problem I got a 405 error lol

Sorry I fixed that it was the wrong page lol;

In the emails I receive I get 'from' and then something like [email protected] etc - can I change it to show the exact email written in the email field??
