I wrote a PHP script that the user decides who they want to send the email
to based on the selection from a "dropdown" box. The essential part of the
script that I'm having problems with is:

<?php

/* Pre-defined script variables. */
$eol = "\n";
$mailto = 'me@mycorp.net';
$mailfrom = 'webserver@mycorp.net';
$subject = 'Contact Us Request';

/* Initialize a clean array to replace $_POST with clean data */
$etype = $_POST['etype'];
$errmsg = 'etype-: '.$etype.' | Case value-: ';

/* Define the mailto address
switch ($etype) {
case 0:
$mailto = 'sales@mycorp.net';
$errmsg .= '0';
break;
case 1:
$mailto = 'support@mycorp.net';
$errmsg .= '1';
break;
case 2:
$mailto = 'webmaster@mycorp.net';
$errmsg .= '2';
break;
case 3:
$mailto = 'myacct@mycorp.net';
$errmsg .= '3';
break;
default:
$mailto = 'me@mycorp.net';
$errmsg .= 'default';
}
..
..
builds an email and sends it to myself.
?>

The email shows up at the "me" address instead of the "myacct" address. The
problem is the email shows "etype-: 3 | Case value-: ". This indicates
that the switch didn't work at all. Can anyone tell me why?

Thanks,

Bill
