I have a page (contact.php) with an email form.
When the form is filled out and the send button clicked it calls a php script (sendmail.php) to proccess it.
To configure the destination email address in the php script (sendmail.php) I have to edit the following:
However I want to be able to fill the destination address dynamically.
I know the dynamic address is generated fine, as when I run this in the page that contains the form that is being filled out:
I get the correct email address being output.
However when I modify the address value in the sendmail.php file, to use the same method like so:
The send mail fails because the address value seems to be blank. I am guessing that there must be a method I have to use to pass the value to sendmail.php.
Hope you can help and thanks in advance.

Hi 8bit Gamer,
Just guesses,
I noticed that you're using double quotes instead of single.
You might try using a variable for the email address in the sendmail $address similar to what you did for your test.
Hope that gets you going.

Hi,
If you could attach contact.php and sendmail.php I can take a closer look into this issue for you.
Hope this helps.

First of all thanks to all who replied.
I took the problem home from work with me and worked on it over the weekend.
I am pleased to say that it is fixed and was due to an error in the way the post was being sent.
Many thanks again.
