Well I’m working on my first PHP code, in the way of a simple form mailer. I can’t seem to see why its generating the error
We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you
submitted. These errors appear below.We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you
submitted.Please go back and fix these errors.
If anyone well versed in PHP sees the issue, I’d appreciate any guidance you can give.
