I have a client site that I am working on they have 5 locations for there business. They want a corporate site for all locations, yet a contact form with a select drop-down at the top and depending on which location is selected, the data will be emailed to the specific locations email. How does this work? I don't think this the best usable type of form, but the client is dead set on it.

I'm pretty sure an if statement through php that said if location1 = 1 {email here}, elseif location2 = 1 {email here}, etc? Is that right?

I'm not the greatest with php so...

Also I found this on another site, but it is directing to a new page:



<select onchange="jQuery('#locations_search').submit();" name="location-page-id">
	 <option value="0">Select your location</option>
	 <option value="1">Alabama</option>
	 <option value="2">Arkansas</option>
	 <option value="3">Arizona</option>
	 <option value="4">California</option>
</select>

A switch would be quicker than an if :) e.g.


switch ($_POST['location-page-id']) {
	 case '1':
	 $strEmail = 'something@email.com';
	 break;

	 case '2':
	 $strEmail = 'me@email.com';
	 break;

	 etc...
}
