blank page after click send on form and using phpmailer

[ianhaney]

I have phpmailer on a website and after clicking send, it goes to the forms action page and don't seem to redirect to the enquiry confirmation page, the forms action page is a blank white page which am guessing is correct as it's PHP coding but thought it should redirect. I don't get any errors showing what the issue is. I have the phpmailer uploaded onto the FTP server and has the class.phpmailer.php file inside the phpmailer folder. The client has their email going through office365. Below is the code I have

+

<?php

ini_set('display_errors', '1');
ini_set('display_startup_errors', '1');
error_reporting(E_ALL);

//index.php

$error = '';
$name = '';
$email = '';
$subject = '';
$message = '';

function clean_text($string)
{
$string = trim($string);
$string = stripslashes($string);
$string = htmlspecialchars($string);
return $string;
}

if(isset($_POST["submit"]))
{
if(empty($_POST["name"]))
{
$error .= '<p><label class="text-danger">Please Enter your Name</label></p>';
}
else
{
$name = clean_text($_POST["name"]);
if(!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z ]*$/",$name))
{
$error .= '<p><label class="text-danger">Only letters and white space allowed</label></p>';
}
}
if(empty($_POST["email"]))
{
$error .= '<p><label class="text-danger">Please Enter your Email</label></p>';
}
else
{
$email = clean_text($_POST["email"]);
if(!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
{
$error .= '<p><label class="text-danger">Invalid email format</label></p>';
}
}
if(empty($_POST["subject"]))
{
$error .= '<p><label class="text-danger">Subject is required</label></p>';
}
else
{
$subject = clean_text($_POST["subject"]);
}
if(empty($_POST["message"]))
{
$error .= '<p><label class="text-danger">Message is required</label></p>';
}
else
{
$message = clean_text($_POST["message"]);
}
if($error == '')
{

require 'phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;

the blank page is either due to $_POST["submit"] not being set (all the code is skipped over) or it's because you are not displaying the contents of the $error variable when it contains error(s).

Managed to sort it in the end with new phpmailer code and updated it and is working now
