and if it equals SC or NC then send to wxyz..and so on...any tips..?

Depending on what you want to do, you could use:

<?php
// Post state variable
	$state = $_POST['state'];

// Assign a numerical value to each state via an array (FL = 1, SC = 3, etc.)
	$states_arr = array("FL", "NY", "SC", "NC");

// Perform the desired action based on the numerical value mentioned above
	switch ($states_arr[$state]){
		case 0:
		case 1:
			/* Mail to xyz */
			break;
		case 2:
		case 3:
			/* Mail to wxyz */
			break;
		default:
			/* Default Action */
			break;
	}
?>

PHP:

Or you could use the following:

<?php
// Post state variable
	$state = $_POST['state'];

// Assign states to different arrays for each e-mail address
	$xyz_arr = array("FL", "NY");
	$wxyz_arr = array("SC", "NC");

// Perform the desired action based on the array $state is in
	if ( in_array($state, $xyz_arr) ){
		/* Mail to xyz */
	} else if ( in_array($state, $wxyz_arr) ){
		/* Mail to wxyz */
	} else {
		/* Default Action */
	}
?>

thanks I will try that soon and update all.

 

Correction to one of my comments: it should read, "FL = 0, SC = 2."

 

thanks for the suggestions.

is this the easiest way ?, if for example, I have 2 people each from 20 states ( total 40) to send info to:

so I would then have 40 email addresses to input ?

I wish it was as easy as grouping into arrays

 

Take a look at this and tell me if you like it:

<?php
// Post state variable
	$state = $_POST['state'];
	
// Assign states to different e-mail addresses using arrays
	$states_arr = array(
		array("FL", "NY", "xyz@email.com"), 
		array("SC", "NC", "wxyz@email.com")
	);
	
// If $state is in one of the above arrays, set the e-mail to its last element
	foreach ($states_arr as $test){
		if ( in_array($state, $test) ){
			$email = end($test);
			break;
		} else { // If not, e-mail to the default address
			$email = "default@email.com";
		}
	}
	
// Mail based on the state's array
	$subject = "Subject";
	$message = "Blah, blah, blah!";

	mail($email, $subject, $message);
?>
