Here is my PHP that I would to use to send the email to the differents departments.

<?php /* THIS FILE USES PHPMAILER INSTEAD OF THE PHP MAIL() FUNCTION */ require 'PHPMailer-master/PHPMailerAutoload.php'; /* * CONFIGURE EVERYTHING HERE */ // an email address that will be in the From field of the email. $mail->CharSet="UTF-8"; $fromEmail = '[email protected]'; /* company website*/ $fromName = 'Site web'; // subject of the email $subject = 'Nouveau message fomulaire du siteweb'; // form field names and their translations. // array variable name => Text to appear in the email $fields = array('nom_id' => 'Nom', 'email_id' => 'Courriel', 'depart_id' => 'Adressé à', 'message_id' =>'Message'); $mail->Body = array('nom_id' => 'Nom -', 'email_id' => 'Courriel -', 'depart_id'=> 'Adressé à', 'message_id' =>'Message'); //, 'phone' => 'Phone', 'email' => 'Email', 'message' => 'Message' // message that will be displayed when everything is OK :) $okMessage = 'Votre demande a été soumis avec succès. Merci, I will get back to you soon!'; // If something goes wrong, we will display this message. $errorMessage = 'There was an error while submitting the form. Please try again later'; /* * LET'S DO THE SENDING */ // if you are not debugging and don't need error reporting, turn this off by error_reporting(0); error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); try { if(count($_POST) == 0) throw new \Exception('Form is empty'); $emailTextHtml = "

Message du formulaire contacte du siteweb

"; $emailTextHtml .= ""; foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) { // If the field exists in the $fields array, include it in the email if (isset($fields[$key])) { $emailTextHtml .= ""; } } $emailTextHtml .= "
$fields[$key] $value
"; $emailTextHtml .= "

Merci!
Passez une belle journée.

I have a form with a select button for different support department. I would like when a user select department3 is request would go directly to that department. I can’t get it working.

This is my select option in my form

Contact support
Contact department 1
Contact department 2
Contact department 3

indent preformatted text by 4 spaces
<?php // First you check if the button submit is been clicked if (isset($_POST['submit']) ) { $name = $_POST['name']; $email = $_POST['email']; $phone = $_POST['phone']; $message = $_POST['message']; $from = 'From contact form'; if( $_POST['department'] == "support" ) { $subject = 'Mail to customer support'; $to = "[email protected]"; header("Location: www.domain.com/supportSuccess.html"); } // You could better wrap this into a switch case statement. else if( $_POST['department'] == "department1" ) { $subject = 'Mail to department1'; $to = "[email protected]"; header("Location: www.domain.com/departmentSucess.html"); } else if( $_POST['department'] == "department2" ) { $subject = 'Mail to department2'; $to = "[email protected]"; header("Location: www.domain.com/departmentSucess.html"); } else if( $_POST['department'] == "department3" ) { $subject = 'Mail to department3'; $to = "[email protected]"; header("Location: www.domain.com/departmentSucess.html"); } $body = "$name\n $email\n $phone\n $message"; if (mail ($to, $subject, $body, $from)) { header("Location:www.google.com"); } else { echo '

Seems like something went wrong!

'; } } ?>

First of all, I always suggest using a mail library like PHPMailer or something else. In my experience it’s more reliable. If the computer you are sending the mail from is not properly configured as a mail server your e-mail will probably go into the junk mail folder of the recipient, if it gets delivered at all.

` ` `
<?php echo "put your code"; ?>
<?php echo "in between 3 backticks like this"; ?>
<?php echo "... but no spaces between the backtics:"; ?>
<?php echo "use  (```) instead of (` ` `) "; ?>
` ` `

Here is a demo of using PHPMailer along with a gmail account for sending mail.

Tried to properly format your code:

<?php 
// First you check if the button submit is been clicked 
if (isset($_POST['submit']) ) { 
	$name = $_POST['name'];
	$email = $_POST['email']; 
	$phone = $_POST['phone']; 
	$message = $_POST['message']; 
	$from = 'From contact form'; 

	if( $_POST['department'] == "support" ) {
		$subject = 'Mail to customer support'; $to = "[email protected]"; header("Location: www.domain.com/supportSuccess.html"); } 
	
	// You could better wrap this into a switch case statement. 
	else if( $_POST['department'] == "department1" ) { 
		$subject = 'Mail to department1'; 
		$to = "[email protected]"; 
		header("Location: www.domain.com/departmentSucess.html"); 
	}
	else if( $_POST['department'] == "department2" ) { 
		$subject = 'Mail to department2'; 
		$to = "[email protected]"; 
		header("Location: www.domain.com/departmentSucess.html"); 
	} 
	else if( $_POST['department'] == "department3" ) { 
		$subject = 'Mail to department3'; 
		$to = "[email protected]"; 
		header("Location: www.domain.com/departmentSucess.html");
	} 

	$body = "$name\n $email\n $phone\n $message"; 
	if (mail ($to, $subject, $body, $from)) {
		header("Location:www.google.com"); 
	} 
	else { 
		echo 'Seems like something went wrong!'; 
	} 
} 
?>

<?php 

$meta = array(
  'support'     => array( 'name'=>'customer support',     'to'=>'[email protected]','redirect'=>'supportSuccess.html'   ),
  'department1' => array( 'name'=>'department1 support',  'to'=>'[email protected]',    'redirect'=>'departmentASucess.html'),
  'department2' => array( 'name'=>'department2 help',     'to'=>'[email protected]',    'redirect'=>'departmentBSucess.html'),
  'department3' => array( 'name'=>'department3 operations','to'=>'[email protected]', 'redirect'=>'departmentCSucess.html'),
);


if( isset($_POST['submit']) && isset( $meta[ $_POST['department'] ] ) )
{
	$data = (object) $_POST;
	
	$use = (object) $meta[ $_POST['department'] ];
	
	$body = "$data->name\n $data->email\n $data->phone\n $data->message"; 

	if( mail($use->to, "Mail to $use->name", $body, 'From contact form') )
	{
		header("Location: $use->redirect"); 
	} 
	else { 
		echo 'Seems like something went wrong!'; 
	}
} 
?>

Thank you for the prompt reply. The $meta=array() is working fine. Now I receiving a email with : ´´From contact form’´ body with no other info.
