I'm super new at coding. This is the form page code
<?php
// Start the session
session_start();
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.error {color: #FF0000;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$fnameErr = $emailErr = $addressErr = $countryErr = $stateErr = $suburbErr = "";
$fname = $email = $address = $country = $state = $suburb = "";
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
if (empty($_POST["fname"])) {
$fnameErr = "Name is required";
} else {
$fname = test_input($_POST["fname"]);
}
if (empty($_POST["email"])) {
$emailErr = "Email is required";
} else {
$email = test_input($_POST["email"]);
}
if (empty($_POST["address"])) {
$addressErr = "Address is required";
} else {
$address = test_input($_POST["address"]);
}
if (empty($_POST["country"])) {
$countryErr = "City is required";
} else {
$country = test_input($_POST["country"]);
}
if (empty($_POST["state"])) {
$stateErr = "State is required";
} else {
$state = test_input($_POST["state"]);
}
if (empty($_POST["suburb"])) {
$suburbErr = "State is required";
} else {
$suburb = test_input($_POST["suburb"]);
}
}
function test_input($data) {
$data = trim($data);
$data = stripslashes($data);
$data = htmlspecialchars($data);
return $data;
}
?>

</form>
</body>
</html>But after I fill up all the information and click submit, the page said cannot connect to SMTP sever host. The strange thing is, I can send email while run the phpmailer index.php alone. The form page php file and the mailer php file is in a different folder but same parent folder, is this the problem?
