You may get this message when one or more extensions are missing.
The project you have shared opens without any issues for me.

I cannot help you with the configuration of xampp. This is beyond the scope of this forum.

[davehappen]

many thanks your reply, did the form look correct????

[Pablo]

Yes, the form looks ok.
But why did you use a form in a layer?
The layer itself can also be a form. Using nested forms is not recommended.

[davehappen]

ok, im still trying to get my head around layers, what you can and cant do with them.
many thanks your reply

... and i'm trying to run a simple form in xampp, i get the success page but no email?????

In the [mail function] section of the php.ini file (in C:\xampp\php) did you change:

;sendmail_path = "C:\xampp\mailtodisk\mailtodisk.exe"

to:

sendmail_path = "C:\xampp\mailtodisk\mailtodisk.exe"

The email output will then be found in C:\xampp\mailoutput

Can xampp deal with php files or do i need to publish to the net?????

xampp deals with php files and (most of the time) no need to publish to the net.

I never use them!!

[davehappen]

can not find a mail section

[WWBman]

It looks like this:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP=localhost
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port=25

; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
;sendmail_from = me@example.com

; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
; http://php.net/sendmail-path
sendmail_path = "C:\xampp\mailtodisk\mailtodisk.exe"

; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail().
;mail.force_extra_parameters =

; Add X-PHP-Originating-Script: that will include uid of the script followed by the filename
mail.add_x_header=Off

; The path to a log file that will log all mail() calls. Log entries include
; the full path of the script, line number, To address and headers.
;mail.log =
; Log mail to syslog (Event Log on Windows).
;mail.log = syslog

No, 3 folders further down you’ll find the php folder.

[davehappen]

and is this correct

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = localhost
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
;sendmail_from = davehappen@hotmail.com

; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
; http://php.net/sendmail-path
;sendmail_path = "C:\xampp\mailtodisk\mailtodisk.exe"

; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail().
;mail.force_extra_parameters =

[WWBman]

You only need to remove the ;

BTW, I prefer to show the file's extension (so the .ini part is shown).
This can be done via File Explorer > Options > Change Folder and Search options > View > Untick Hide extensions for known file types

WWBman your a star thanks for your patience.
