I use the javascript code.</p> <p>Any help would be appreciated. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/can-custom_hooksphp-use-a-variable-for-an-email-address#post-18322 Mon, 20 May 2013 13:10:46 +0000 frankzobitz 18322@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I would like to use one "contact us" form throughout an entire website and sub-sites. Through the use of variables, I know what site or sub-site the user is at when they initiate the "contact us" action.</p> <p>I was able to get the custom_hooks (http://www.appnitro.com/doc-dynamic-email) working by hardcoding the email addresses in it. However, I haven't been successful at passing it the email address through a variable. I do not want the user to have to choose who to send it to.</p> <p>This is what I have:</p> <p>global $mf_hook_emails;<br /> $mf_hook_emails[19734]['element_id'] = 7;<br /> $mf_hook_emails[19734]['Dept Notify'] = $deptemail;</p> <p>If I remove $deptemail and put in 'customer_service@abc.com' it works. If I echo the variable prior to the form being displayed on the page, the correct email address is displayed. Any idea how I can get the variable working properly in the statement? </p>
