CFMAIL varies on form input.

[bboehle]

I need to create a form that has a drop down box. Depending on the slection from the drop down box CFMail will interpret a different Subject and To, CC and BCC field for each dropdown selection. Currently I have a form that posts to a cfmail template.

I am having a blockage on how to get the template to read the form data and change this information as it is needed.

Against better judgement I attempted CFIF Statements inside the CFMAIL tag.. and as I knew CFMAIL will not accept them.

If you could please give me a push in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks,
Brandon

you could probably do it a couple of ways... but to make it simple... you can do this:

On the form, with the drop down menus of:
<select name=&quot;Options&quot; size=-1>
<option value=&quot;1&quot;>Option 1</option>
<option value=&quot;2&quot;>Option 2</option>
</select>

When submitted to the cfmail template, do this:

<cfif form.options eq 1>
<cfset subject = 'Subject Heading One'>
<cfset recipient = 'joeblow@abc.com'>
<cfelseif form.options eq 2>
<cfset subject = 'Subject Heading Two'>
<cfset recipient = 'another_address@abc.com'>
<cfif>


<cfmail from=&quot;Your_address@your_domain.com&quot;
to=&quot;#recipient#&quot;
subject=&quot;#subject#&quot;>

Your Message


</cfmail>

Hope this helps!

You can even customize the content of the message using the same techniques.
