if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {

if ($name == "" OR $email == "" OR $message == "") {

$email_body = "";
$email_body = $email_body . "Name: " . $name . "<br>";
$email_body = $email_body . "Email: " . $email . "<br>";
$email_body = $email_body . "Message: " . $message;
$mail->SetFrom($email, $name);
$address = "orders@shirts4mike.com";
$mail->AddAddress($address, "Shirts 4 Mike");
$mail->Subject = "Shirts 4 Mike Contact Form Submission | " . $name;
$mail->MsgHTML($email_body);
if($mail->Send()) {
header("Location: " . BASE_URL . "contact/?status=thanks");
exit;
} else {
$error_message = "There was a problem sending the email: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
=,
}
}
This is what I have for a project. This goes before the body of the page. Make sure your variables matches and replace anything about Shirst4Mike with your info. In the require_once line use your location for the phpMailer. Give it a try
