cant get this to work...

CSU

I have a contact form (contact.php) that only allows it's content to be sent to one address, the address is defined in a sub directory in config.php

If I add:
[PHP]include('../contact.php');[/PHP]
To the beginning of config.php

and I add a new form value in contact.php:
[PHP] <label for=to><span class="mandatory">* </span>To:</label>
<input type="text" name="to" id="to" value="" class="textfield" autocomplete="off"/>[/PHP]

and change config.php $mailTo from static $mailTo = "sara@mydomain.ie";
$mailTo .= "".$_POST."@mydomain.ie"";
does not work.

Peter, Sara etc all have accounts @mydomain.ie, so I want to be able to simply put 'Peter' in the To: field of the form and the result being that config.php will get peter@mydomain.ie inserted into the $mailTo.

I don't 100% understand the "".$_POST."" part as it is used in mail.php (code that sends the mail) to add a suffix to form fields ie.
[PHP]$message .= "nessage: ".$_POST."";[/PHP]
What I want to do is add a prefix...
works --> $message .= "message: ".$_POST."";
won't work --> $mailTo .= "".$_POST."@mydomain.ie"";

require_once was breaking the script so I include('../contact.php'); and gives error:

Warning: include(../contact.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in E:\www\contact_lib\config.php on line 2

Anyone got a mail script that has the ability to choose recipient?

The post isn't too clear.

Which folders are the two files in ?

CSU

[WWW Root]
contact.php
..[contact_lib]
..config.php

E;

sorry post is a mess - all I need to do is have the ability to:

1. choose recipient (add form field To)
2. insert recipient into config.php ($mailTo)
3. Add prefix to $mailTo from form To field ($mailTo .= "".$_POST."@mydomain.ie""; )

^^ above code wont work
...

any info on the interwebs always talks of a static $to string when sending mail...why can't I find info on dynamic mail $to string...
