</tr>
</table></td>
<td valign="top"> </td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</form> <br />
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
This is freecontact2formprocess.php:
if(isset($_POST['subject_type'])) {
include 'freecontact2formsettings.php';
function died($error) {
echo "Sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";
echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
echo $error."<br /><br />";
echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
die();
}
if(!isset($_POST['subject_type']) ||
!isset($_POST['testvariablealwaysset']) ||
) {
died('Sorry, there appears to be a problem with your form submission.');
}
$subjecttype_from = $_POST['subject_type']; // required
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
header("Location: $thankyou");
?>
<script>location.replace('<?php echo $thankyou;?>')</script>
<?php
}
die();
?>
this is freecontact2formsettings:
<?php
$email_to = "myemailaddress#emailaddress.com"; // your email address
$email_subject = "Subject type"; // email subject line
if ($subjecttype_from="Maths")
{
$thankyou = "http://www.google.com";
}
else
{
$thankyou = "http://www.yahoo.com"; // thank you page
}
// if you update the question on the form -
// you need to update the questions answer below
$antispam_answer = "25";
?>
On the freecontact2formsetting file, i have set a condition that if the user selects Maths from the drop down menu, the thank you page is set to google.com, if however anything else is selected it goes to yahoo.com. Currently all redirects are going to google.com regardless, how do i make sure when the user selects anything but maths, it goes to yahoo.com?

Answer 1

You're assigning rather than evaluating, change your if statement to:
if ($subjecttype_from == "Maths")
You could also write it like this:
$thankyou = ($subjecttype_from == "Maths") ? 'http://www.google.com' : 'http://www.yahoo.com';
From looking at your code, $subjecttype_from isn't defined when your if statement is evaluated. Assign the variable before you include the file which makes the comparison, eg:
$subjecttype_from = $_POST['subject_type']; // required
include 'freecontact2formsettings.php';
