I'm trying to create a page for my website, where students have to select 3 or less out of about 10 choices(multiple selection). They also need to upload a file below this. When they click submit finally, it would send the file they uploaded to multiple email addresses (or even a specific single email address would work)based on their selection (3 or less out of 10 choices).
Can someone please help me out? I have a okay knowledge of HTML, but I don't know JavaScript and hence I'm having a lot of trouble figuring it out. I have looked up various posts on the internet, but I couldn't find something that was pretty similar and worked.
Also, I am using WordPress, and since I need to add Javascript to the page, I installed a plugin called Exec-PHP Plugin. It seems like it works, however please do let me know your opinion.
Thanks so much, really appreciate any help!
EDIT: This is the code I tried. Its what I found when I looked through various posts. Its not exactly what I mentioned in this question, since like I mentioned before I do not have any previous knowledge of JavaScript. Here, its basically supposed to send a message to the email based on a single drop-down selection. I tried it, but it did not work (I changed the destination emails). Thanks!
