Using arrays in typoscript

Question

I'm quite new to typoscript and I want to use an array to associate a subject to an email adress like this

email_mapper {
   general = info@somewhere.com
   specific = me@somewhere.com
}

to_mail = email_mapper[GP:formhandler|subject]

how can I do something like that in typoscript? Is it possible at all?

You can do that using the CASE content object. It would look somehow like this:

to_mail = CASE
to_mail {
    key.data = GP:formhandler|subject

    general = TEXT
    general.value = info@somewhere.com

    specific = TEXT
    specific.value = me@somewhere.com

    default = TEXT
    default.value = catchall@somewhere.com
}

I haven't tested the above code, but something along these lines will work.

I think CASE is the right thing to use, but suddenly TYPO3 always takes the first one (which is the general email) and the default case gets ignored completly. – LnspEctoor Gadget Jul 24 '14 at 14:37
OK, that was a TYPO3 cache issue. your script works just fine :) – LnspEctoor Gadget Jul 24 '14 at 14:46
Please read the section about `CASE` in the `TypoScript Reference`. – pgampe Jul 26 '14 at 18:07
