PHP Contact Form (PHPMailer) - php

Question

Fist time using the GitHub PHPMailer and I have an issue with sending emails.
The data seems to be sent to the form and I am lost beyond that.
I know I am not using the errors in my page, which is why for now I am printing them to the php form.
html (index.php)
<form name="contactform" id="myform" class="fs-form fs-form-full" autocomplete="off" method="post" action="send.php">
<ol class="fs-fields">
<li>
<label class="fs-field-label fs-anim-upper" for="q1">What's your name?</label>
<input class="fs-anim-lower" id="q1" name="q1" type="text" placeholder="Johnny Bravo" required/>
</li>
<li>
<label class="fs-field-label fs-anim-upper" for="q2" data-info="We won't send you spam, we promise...">What's your email address?</label>
<input class="fs-anim-lower" id="q2" name="q2" type="email" placeholder="me#email.com" required/>
</li>
<li data-input-trigger>
<label class="fs-field-label fs-anim-upper" for="q3" data-info="This will help us know what kind of service you need">What can we do for you? <span style="font-size:20px;">(select one)</span></label>
<div class="fs-radio-group fs-radio-custom clearfix fs-anim-lower">
<span><input id="q3b" name="q3" type="radio" value="graphic"/><label for="q3b" class="radio-graphic">Graphic Design</label></span>
<span><input id="q3c" name="q3" type="radio" value="web"/><label for="q3c" class="radio-web">Web Design</label></span>
<span><input id="q3a" name="q3" type="radio" value="motion"/><label for="q3a" class="radio-motion">Motion Graphics</label></span>
<span><input id="q3d" name="q3" type="radio" value="other"/><label for="q3d" class="radio-other">Other/More</label></span>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<label class="fs-field-label fs-anim-upper" for="q4">Describe your project in detail.</label>
<textarea class="fs-anim-lower" id="q4" name="q4" placeholder="Describe here"></textarea>
</li>
<li>
<label class="fs-field-label fs-anim-upper" for="q5">What's your budget? (USD)</label>
<input class="fs-mark fs-anim-lower" id="q5" name="q5" type="number" placeholder="1000" step="100" min="100"/>
</li>
</ol><!-- /fs-fields -->
<button class="fs-submit" type="submit" value="Send">Send It</button>

PHP (send.php)

$m->AddAddress('myemail#gmail.com', 'Ollie Taylor');
if($m->send()) {
header('Location: thanks.php');
die();
} else {
$errors[] = 'Sorry, could not send email. Try again later.';
}
}
} else {
$errors[] = 'Something went wrong.';
}
$_SESSION['errors'] = $errors;
$_SESSION['fields'] = $fields;
header('Location: index.php');
Thankyou!

Answer 1

You have some syntax errors for starters.
Line 30 of send.php
$m-Host = 'smtp outgoing here';
Should be
$m->Host = 'smtp outgoing here';
and line 39
$m->Body = 'From:: ' . $fields['q1'] . '(' $fields['q2'] ')' . $fields['q3'] . $fields['q4'] . $fields['q5'];
Should be
$m->Body = 'From:: ' . $fields['q1'] . '(' . $fields['q2'] . ')' . $fields['q3'] . $fields['q4'] . $fields['q5'];
(added concatenation inbetween your parenthesis)
Overall, I'd suggest you look into your PHP error log. I haven't tested it further to see if the email actually sends. But big picture here: Check PHP error log.
