Thank you in advance for looking at my code and helping me with the problem i am having. I am trying to build a simple contact form. The thing is when i hit my submit button everything that gets directed to the next page displays everything into an array. How can i go about fixing this?
Also, my if statement is giving me a hard time how can i go about fixing this? Am i using the wrong type of arrays?
contact.php
<?php
session_start();
require_once 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$errors = [];
if(isset($_POST['name'], $_POST['email'], $_POST['message'])){
$fields = [
'name' => $_POST['name'],
'email' => $_POST['email'],
'message' => $_POST['message']
];
foreach($fields as $field => $data) {
if(empty($data)){
$errors[] = 'The ' . $field . ' field is required.';
}
}
if(empty($errors)){
$m = new PHPMailer;
$m->isSMTP();
$m->SMTPAuth = true;
$m->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$m->Username = 'none@gmail.com';
$m->Host = 'Pa$$w0rd1';
$m->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
$m->Port = '465';
$m->isHTML();
$m->Subject = 'Contact form submitted';
$m->Body = 'From: ' . $fields['name'] . ' (' . $fields['email'] . ')<p>' . $fields['message'] . '</p>';
$m->From = 'Contact';
$m->AddAddress('none@gmail.com', 'name');
if($m-> send()){
header('Location: thankyou.php');
die();
} else {
$errors[] = 'Sorry, could not send email. Try again late.';
}
}
} else {
$errors[] = 'Something went wrong.';
}
$_SESSION['errors'] = $errors;
$_SESSION['fields'] = $fields;
header('Location: contactform.php');
?>
contactform.php
<?php
session_start();
require_once 'security.php';
$errors = isset($_SESSION['errors']) ? $_SESSION['errors'] : [];
$fields = isset($_SESSION['fields']) ? $_SESSION['fields'] : [];
?>

<p class="muted">* means a required field</p>
</form>
</div>
</body></center>
</html>
<?php
unset($_SESSION['errors']);
unset($_SESSION['fields']);
?>
This is the if statement i am referring to in the above code
<?php if(!empty($errors)); ?>
<div class="panel">
<ul><li><?php echo implode(('</li><li>'), $errors); ?></li></ul>
</div>
<?php endif ?>
Please Please Please help me with this.
