Hi-
I’m new to php and am just having a little trouble with a part of my php code, I’ve been working on a form script and it processes the form and emails it to right place with everything intact but I keep getting the error ‘Undefined variable: mailSent’ when I send the form. Because of this error, I’m also not redirecting once the form goes out. Could someone help me identify what I’m missing? Where would I have to define this variable?
I’ve attached the code located in <head> and at the top <body> below.
I appreciate the help,
Ken
