I posted earlier on the results of my header issues.
I redesigned my page so that all my php resided in the top of the page.
Natural this resolved the problem.
I just had to think about what everyone was telling me to do.
It didn't make sense earlier, now it does.

Could really use some help with the phpMailer script that I am working with.
Currently I can't connect as I have this error:

Warning: fsockopen() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in
/home/content/r/a/l/raleigh123/html/php/class.smtp.php on line 105
Message could not be sent.
Mailer Error: Language string failed to load: connect_host

I read up on this error and it has something to with proxy settings that
affect this function:
Reason is, that script does not check validity of the portNum, which must be
integer in range of 1..65535.

I tried using (int) and ended up with the error that

Message could not be sent.
Mailer Error: Language string failed to load: connect_host



Can you advise on how I might move forward, where I might search for
information.

any insight appreciated

thank you

Kevin
