Hi,

I want to send an email with PHP page itself it was working fine before after i add extra textbox in that form user needs to add mentor E-mail id
but it shows error
"Invalid address "
"Notice: Undefined variable: mentor_email1 in"

require '../PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php';

 if (!isset($_POST['mentoremail'])) 
	 {
	 
	$mentor_email1 ="";
	$mentor_email1= $_POST['mentoremail'];
	}

$mail->addAddress($mentor_email1);
  if(!$mail->send()) {
        echo '<div class="alert alert-danger">Email error:bla bla n.</div>';
    }

<div class="control-group">
			  <label class="control-label" for="descinput">Mentor Email ID(subordinate)</label>
			  <div class="controls">

Actually, this will fail if previous page is correctly set up:

$mail->addAddress($mentor_email1);

That's because $mentor_email1 is never assigned anything if the value $_POST['mentoremail] IS SET!
For now, the quickest way is to change
if (!isset($_POST['mentoremail']))
to
if (isset($_POST['mentoremail']))

I made changes as you mentioned but it shows

Fatal error: Call to a member function addAddress() on a non-object in
Notice: Undefined variable: mail in

As I said - it looks like you've left out all your other code - you're missing a `$mail = new PHPMailer;`.
