PHP Build a Simple PHP Application Wrapping Up The Project Validating Contact Form Data

Variable error found in PHP video.

I just wanted to let someone know about this error that I found. In this lesson there is a variable called $email. In this particular instance, it is being used in the contact.php file as follows

' ' '

if ($name == "" OR $email == "" OR $message == "") {
echo "You must provide name, email, and message values.";
exit;
}

' ' '

At 5:44, the variable in the video abruptly changes to $email_address.
