I have a page (contact.php) with an email form.

When the form is filled out and the send button clicked it calls a php script (sendmail.php) to proccess it.

To configure the destination email address in the php script (sendmail.php) I have to edit the following:

$address = "email@yourwebsite.com";

However I want to be able to fill the destination address dynamically.

I know the dynamic address is generated fine, as when I run this in the page that contains the form that is being filled out:

<? $whatisit = $contactRecord["email"];
echo $whatisit;
?>


I get the correct email address being output.

However when I modify the address value in the sendmail.php file, to use the same method like so:

$address = $contactRecord["email"];

The send mail fails because the address value seems to be blank. I am guessing that there must be a method I have to use to pass the value to sendmail.php.

Hope you can help and thanks in advance.

Hi,

If you could attach contact.php and sendmail.php I can take a closer look into this issue for you.

Hope this helps.

First of all thanks to all who replied.

I took the problem home from work with me and worked on it over the weekend.

I am pleased to say that it is fixed and was due to an error in the way the post was being sent.

Many thanks again.

Paul.
