still getting Slim error after fix

I made the fix as showed in the video however I am still getting a slim error. Code: $app->post('/contact', function() use($app) { $name = $app->request->post('name'); $email = $app->request->post('email'); $msg = $app->request->post('msg');

if( !empty($name) && !empty($email) && !empty($msg)){
    $cleanName = filter_var($name, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
    $cleanEmail = filter_var($email, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);
    $cleanMsg = filter_var($msg, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
} else {
    //message the user was a problem
    $app->redirect('/contact');
}

$transport = Swift_SendmailTransport::newInstance('/usr/sbin/exim -bs');
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance();
$message->setSubject('Email from our Website');
$message->setFrom(array($cleanEmail -> $cleanName));
$message->SetTo(array('ase351@yahoo.com'));
$message->SetBody($cleanMsg);

$result = $mailer->Send($message);

if($result > 0) {
    //semd a message
    $app->redirect('/');
} else {
    //send a fail message
    //log error
    $app->redirect('/contact');
}

});

Error: Slim Application Error The application could not run because of the following error:
