[b]Error displayed on the page:[/b]

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/thesmi6/public_html/form/phpmailer/phpmailer/mail.php on line 2


Could someone tell me why I am getting this error?

maybe you just left it out of what you posted, but it doesn't look live you've included the page that has the PHPMailer() class functions.

line two tries to create a new instance of PHPMailer but since you haven't included the class, it doesn't know what PHPMailer is.

you need to add something like:

include('whatever_the_filename_is.class.php');

before line 2
