require_once('class.phpmailer.php'); //include("class.smtp.php"); // optional, gets called from within class.phpmailer.php if not already loaded

$mail1 = new PHPMailer();

$body1 = '<input type="button" value="I am Interested" onclick="location.href=\'http://elearn.knowledgewoods.com\';">'; //need to send a form here

$mail1->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP

$mail1->Host = ""; // SMTP server $mail1->SMTPSecure = "tls"; $mail1->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication $mail1->Host = ""; // sets the SMTP server $mail1->Port = ; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server $mail1->Username = ""; // SMTP account username $mail1->Password = ""; // SMTP account password

Why is $mail1->Host written two times in php mailer?

Secondly, if the form is sent on someone's email and he fills his contact info and send it. Will we be able to identify the mail address from which particular form is received?
