Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone here could help me with the following PHP email form/send-form that I tried to put together for our city’s website. I managed to get the form together, but I am having trouble with the send-form portion which always gives me an error.
My level of PHP is beginner. More or less, I re-use code and often can pin-point the errors – but this time it’s been two days and I feel like I am banging my head against the wall.
This is the form.html portion
<div id="form_container">
<h2>Website Feedback</h2>
<form id="feedback" class="feedback" method="post" action="send_feedback.php">
<div class="form_description">
<p>Your feedback is greatly appreciated. We will not be sharing your contact information with anyone.</p>
