I have created a contact form for a client. The contact form works fine, but I am struggling with the php code to execute it. I would like it to work where if the user selects “landscaping” from the drop down menu then an email is sent to “email a.” If the user selects “sitework” then an email is sent to “email b” and if they select “employment” the email is sent to “email c.”
Here is the contact form:

And here is the php code I tried that clearly did not work. Can someone please help?
[php] if ($_POST[’$subject’]==“value 1”)
else if ($_POST[’$subject’]==“value 2”)
{
else if ($_POST['$subject']=="value 3")
}
$firstlast = $_POST[‘firstlast’];
$email = $_POST[‘email’];
$address = $_POST[‘address’];
$city = $_POST[‘city’];
$phone = $_POST[‘phone’];
$subject = $_POST[‘subject’];
$summary = $_POST[‘summary’];
$totalmessage= "
Name: $firstlast \n
Email: $email \n
Subject: $subject \n
Address: $address \n
City: $city \n
Phone: $phone \n
Summary: $summary \n";
$messages = array();
Allow only reasonable real names
if (!preg_match("/^[\w\ +-’"]+$/", $firstlast)) {
$messages[] = "The name field must contain only " .
"alphabetical characters, numbers, spaces, and " .
“reasonable punctuation. We apologize for any inconvenience.”;
}
Allow only reasonable email addresses
if (!preg_match("/^[\w+-.~]+@[-\w.!]+$/", $email)) {
$messages[] = “That is not a valid email address.”;
}
$summary = $_POST[‘summary’];
Make sure the message has a body
if (preg_match(’/^\s*$/’, $summary)) {
$messages[] = “Your comment was blank. Did you mean to say " .
“something?”;
}
if (count($messages)) {
# There were problems, so tell the user and
# don’t send the message yet
foreach ($messages as $message) {
echo(”
$message
\n");}
echo("
Click the back button and correct the problems. " .
“Then click Send Your Message again.
} else {
# Send the email - we’re done
mail($recipient,
$firstlast,
$totalmessage,
“From: $firstlast <$email>\r\n” .
“Reply-To: $firstlast <$email>\r\n”);
echo(“
Your message has been sent. Thank you! Hit the back button to return to site.
\n”);}
