Warning: preg_match() expects parameter 2 to be string

I get this error

"Warning: preg_match() expects parameter 2 to be string, object given in C:\xampp\htdocs\inc\phpmailer\class.phpmailer.php on line 883"

each time I submit the form (shirts4mike) and all the fields (name, email, message) are filled out.

As the error says, it expect the parameter 2 to be a string. Can you please show us your code?

Edit,

Do a var_dump on your parameter (if it is a variable?) and check to see what it really is.
