I just started learning PHP today so im a beginner and im not very
familiar with it. trying to use php on a local host to make a booking
reservation page for a restaurant. What i was trying to do is make a
form and validate it so that the user wont be able to leave out any
required fields. however it doesnt seem to work. can anyone tell me
where i went wrong please ?
if there aren't any errors you have to check the name of the php file? does it have the extension ".php"?
Are you referring the right directory?
is the server running?

I'm new to PHP and I just want to make some form like a basic form. But I have trouble in the values entered by the user. For example if they enter a empty field it should not redirect or if in the email they didn't enter a correct format the form should not redirect. But in my case it always redirect even though the input is invalid. Can you help me out on how can I stop redirecting to another page if the value entered by the user is invalid?

$fname = $_GET['fname'];
$lname = $_GET['lname'];
$gender = $_GET['gender'];
$mail = $_GET['mail'];
$dob = $_GET['dob'];
$address = $_GET['address'];
echo "<h2> Final Output:</h2>";
echo "First Name :$fname";
echo "<br>";
echo "Last Name :$lname";
echo "<br>";
echo "Gender :$gender";
echo "<br>";
echo "Email :$mail";
echo "<br>";
echo "Date of Birth :$dob";
echo "<br>";
echo "Address :$address";
}
?>
</body>
</html>
There are many ways to do what you want.
One of them is to use a hidden form and submit it only if there is no error found after the validation.
Hence the amended code (based on your original code) will be:

What I am trying to accomplish is the callback URL. I first tried to create it in WordPress, which was also a first, and now try with php code.
Here is what I try to accomplish:
A form with the following fields:
email
New pasword (currently a text_input during test but will be real pw)
Confirm password (currently a text_input during test but will be real pw)
Submit button
Currently I am focus on trying to echo the result but I just can't get this to work.
The ultimate target is to send back a confirmation with this API including the new checked password and the token.

I have been trying for quite a long time now so I reach out for help.
I'm super new at coding. This is the form page code

</html>
But after I fill up all the information and click submit, the page said cannot connect to SMTP sever host. The strange thing is, I can send email while run the phpmailer index.php alone. The form page php file and the mailer php file is in a different folder but same parent folder, is this the problem?
If one page works and another doesn't, and these are in different folders, then yes, that could be the problem. However, the solution is probably not to just move one of the files (which would probably give you other path related issues), but instead make sure that they both can reach the neccessary configuration (SMTP server host in this case).
I'm recieving an issue in the following php code. I am recieiving an unknown variable error in line 146, (echo $newrecord) variable. I'm not sure what is wrong with this variable, I have defined it in the IF statement, and am simply echoing if it is successful. I originally had that segment of code (after ) at the top of the script, but it was causing issues with the mandatory field error messages displaying properly. Any help is appreciated!

newrecord is defined and initialized inside the if statement, therefore if your code opts to the else, it will skip the if and your newrecord variable won't exist.
$newrecord is defined within an if statement, when the if is not executed the variable is not available. You can define it by default adding $newrecord = ''; before you start the if for the submit.
I have separate email script; however, how would we run that code if there are no errors. I have a array with form errors $errors = array($nameErr, $emailErr, $phoneErr, $zipErr, $serviceErr); but they have different strings, if there are no strings or Null or '' inside the array, we would like to send email.

Save your errors in an array, then check if the array is empty at the end. If so, no errors - submit email. Else, display errors:
//dont declare separate variables,use an array
//$nameErr = $phoneErr = $emailErr = $zipErr = $serviceErr = "";
$errors = [];
if (empty($_POST["name"])) {
$errors['nameErr'] = "name required.";
} else {

// check if name only contains letters and whitespace
if (!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z ]*$/",$name)) {
$errors['nameErr'] = "letters and spaces only.";
}
}
//other validation here, then
if(empty($errors){
//no errors, submit
your_submit_function();
}else{
//display errors
foreach($errors as $val){
echo $val . '<br/>';
