As long as you change the XXX in <code>formXXX_hook_email</code> with your particular form_id number, then the functionality will be applied to that form only. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/emailing-results-of-the-form#post-1685 Thu, 08 May 2008 09:06:39 +0000 fredwin 1685@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>As this code changes the includes/helper-functions.php &#38; hooks/custom_hooks.php files, does this mean it would be best to set this up as a seperate folder for the form - if you have multiple forms in use and only this form is to have this feature? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/emailing-results-of-the-form#post-1455 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 08:32:42 +0000 yuniar 1455@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hmm.. interesting, I never thought that way.

Around line 470 you'll find this code:</p> <pre><code>$mail-&gt;Send(); $mail-&gt;ClearAddresses();</code></pre> <p><code></code><br /> Right below that code, insert this code:</p> <pre><code>if(function_exists(&quot;form{$form_id}_hook_email&quot;)){ $carbon_email = call_user_func(&quot;form{$form_id}_hook_email&quot;,$table_data); if(!empty($carbon_email)){ $mail-&gt;AddAddress($carbon_email); $mail-&gt;Send(); } }</code></pre> <p><code></code><br /> Next edit your <strong>hooks/custom_hooks.php</strong> file and insert this code below anywhere:</p> <pre><code>function formXXX_hook_email($user_input){ //change the email addresses below $email_list[1] = &#39;email1@example.com&#39;; $email_list[2] = &#39;email2@example.com&#39;; $email_list[3] = &#39;email3@example.com&#39;; $attn = $user_input[&#39;element_YYY&#39;]; $target_email = $email_list[$attn]; if(!empty($target_email)){ return $target_email; }else { return true; } }</code></pre> <p><code></code><br /> Adjust the value in that code to match your own form id and dropdown id.</p> <p>XXX -&gt; form id<br /> YYY -&gt; dropdown id</p> <p>That would send email to different address based on the selection of a dropdown list. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/emailing-results-of-the-form#post-971 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 22:43:21 +0000 ncvettes 971@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Either from a dropdown list or to a specific recipient based on a field's input result.

In each of these forms there would be a question asking who do you want to send the results to? Is this possible?</p> <p>Basically I want to create an open form that anyone can use and get information sent back to them without having to log into Machform. </p>
