    ok so i have a contact.php that handles all php mailing internally within the contact.php. it works fine untill i add the mail object from my 3rd party library and use the require_once call to include the actual class. these line are commented out and the contact form performs fine…..im also getting two errors relating to the filepath….im not insane lol my filepath’s are correct….im new to php so i think its something else but just incase heres my path:
    project folder/inc/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php

    and here’s my official PHP errors:

    Warning: require_once(inc/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/For The Bold v2/contact.php on line 76

    Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘inc/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php’ (include_path=’.:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/lib/php’) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/For The Bold v2/contact.php on line 76

    If you’re trying to require this:

    inc/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php

    from here:

    /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/For The Bold v2/contact.php

    Then the file path you are actually requesting is this:

    /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/For The Bold v2/inc/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php

    Is this what you expected? is this where the file actually is?

    I would suggest always using absolute paths when loading files. This way, there is never any question about whether or not you have the path correct. The easiest way to do this is to use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']:

    require_once "{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/inc/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php";
// or wherever your file is
// (this example assumes that your document root is /Applications/MAMP/htdocs )

    (As a side note, I would strongly advise against using spaces in file names/ paths.)
