Hello,

 

Quick look at the code and you need to chnage

 

function died($error) {

 

to

 

function die($error) {

 

This should show you where the code is showing the error.

You cannot override existing PHP functions.

 

 

As for the problem, "it's not working" is useless to us.

Can you give more detail on how it's not working? Are you getting any errors?

sorry i copied the wrong part...

 

died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');   

 

that should be die('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');

Still wrong. He's defined died as a function. He can call it fred for all he wants, it's his function.

Sorry, but "it's not working" is not going to get you any answers. WHAT isn't working? Is the email not sending at all? Is the email sending but with incorrect/unexpected data? Is there a PHP error? We aren't looking at your monitor, we don't know what "isn't working" means.

 

Also, remove the @ symbol from the mail function to see if it is producing errors.
