Contact form not sending

Hello.

 

My contact form on my site is not sending when I test submitting a message. I posted earlier on here and was told to check with my host provided. They however believe it to be a code issue.

 

This is the error:  Message could not be sent: Could not instantiate mail function.

Correct answer Nancy OShea

PHP MAILER is a mail sending library used as an alternative to the PHP MAIL() function.

 

Which version of PHP is supported by your server?  This will determine which version of PHP MAILER you must use.  See below for more details on PHP MAILER
