</div>
<div>
Message:
<textarea name="message"></textarea>
</div>
<input type="submit" value ="Submit"/>
</form>
it shows the follwing error:
Invalid address: Array('from')
Invalid address: Array('from')
Invalid address: Array('to')
Mailer Error: You must provide at least one recipient email address.
Someone please help me to solve this problem. I am not getting what the problem is.
Cargo-cult programming:
$mail->SetFrom("$_POST('from')","$_POST('from_name')");
should probably just be
$mail->SetFrom($_POST['from'], $_POST['from_name']);
Note the use of []
instead of ()
, and the LACK of "
quotes around those single values.
You'll have to fix up every line of code in your script where you're doing this sort of bad array referencing.
