trying to setup simple html page to send form content ... get errors

You need to go back and try copying the code again. Your have text that was meant as comments only included in the code. For example you have "specify the message recipient:" with out the double slash // it should be //specify the message recipient if you want to keep it as comments. This isn't the only place you have uncommented text that was meant to be commented

//The email content:

  and  

//Show a json message about the successful or unsuccessful sending a message

Hi George,

Try to copy the code from the tutorial once again and check that you do not miss anything. If that still does not work, please provide the copy of your script file and also the error that you get.

so see the script i am using above … it does contain the // for quoted text... i didnt realize to post here i had to format it!!!

anyway i have used the original correctly ALL I have done is added three textarea on my form and removed the message field i wasn't using … i did this in both the first section of the script and in the email contnt section...

the form when you hit the submit … see first post for the link to use...the submit runs the script flashes a message indicating an error and disappears and i dont kmow if the error is captured anywhere

any help would be welcome

thanks

george

maybe the dash - ($field_textarea-2 ) needs to be removed ($field_textarea2 ) I had my form working but when I put dash in it stopped working. I also ran your original code through a php check (https://phpcodechecker.com/) and it found errors. I got rid of the dash and it then checked as good. I hope that works.

PHP Variables
A variable can have a short name (like x and y) or a more descriptive name (age, carname, total_volume).

Rules for PHP variables:

A variable starts with the $ sign, followed by the name of the variable
A variable name must start with a letter or the underscore character
A variable name cannot start with a number
A variable name can only contain alpha-numeric characters and underscores (A-z, 0-9, and _ )
Variable names are case-sensitive ($age and $AGE are two different variables)
