RE: [PHP] changing a variable according to the input in a checkbox

Hi I think if you want the user to type in a number, rather use a textbox, not a checkbox ;-)) Then call the textbox "phone" in the form you want the user to fill in, and when submitted, the variable $phone will contain the number he typed in. Then use: $prefix = substr($phone, 0, 3); if (($prefix == "072") || ($prefix == "082")) { mail("$cellnum@voda.co.za", $subject, $message, "From: $from_address\nReply-To: $to_address\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion()); } else if (($prefix == "073") || ($prefix == "083")) { mail("$cellnum@sms.co.za", $subject, $message, "From: $from_address\nReply-To: $to_address\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion()); } else if ($prefix == "084") { mail("$cellnum@cellc's address", $subject, $message, "From: $from_address\nReply-To: $to_address\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion()); } Regards Yoan Bosch eStart Computer Services cc http://www.estart-online.co.za -----Original Message----- From: Rudi Ahlers [mailto:kopspier@bigfoot.com] Sent: 26 November 2001 14:04 To: PHP General Subject: [PHP] changing a variable according to the input in a checkbox How would I be able to change a variable from the input in a checkbox? I need to write an sms script, that would be able to sms to three different providers, and I only want the use to type in the phone number. Thus, if he types in 083xxxxxxxxxx, it should goto provider 1, if he types in 082xxxxxxxxxx, it should goto provider 2, and if he types in 084xxxxxxxxxx, it should goto provider 3. I have a simple mail script, with $phone for the phone number variable, and this is the one that needs to change.
