Welcome to TSDN!

Next time, read the Posting Guidelines before you show code in a post. Especially the part about enclosing code with in code tags.

It could be possible that the newline/carriage return definitions cause this problem. You specify them with backward slashes, as in "\r\n".

[CODE=php] <?php
$name = trim($_POST['name']);
$email = trim($_POST['email']);
$friendname = trim($_POST['friendname']);
$friendemail = trim($_POST['friendemail']);
$message = trim($_POST['msg']);
if(!class_exist s('PHPMailer'))
{
require("ptdc/phpmailer-1.73/phpmailer" . '/class.phpmailer .php');
}

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->From = $email;
$mail->FromName = $name;
$mail->AddAddress($fr iendemail, $friendname);
// Fill in Username and Password for servers requiring authentication
//$mail->Username = $smtp_username;
//$mail->Password = $smtp_password;

// SMTP server name
$mail->Host = "<removed>" ;
$mail->Mailer = "smtp";

$mail->Subject = "Paul Taylor Dance Company"; ;
$mail->Body = $message ;

if(!$mail->Send()) $results = 'Error message';
else $results = 'Success message';
You can read the documentation, advanced
