"<br>" . $e->getmessage(); } } ?> thank you
you're defining non-existent form include textarea in - form="compform"
remove , textarea included when submit form.
to add, put in form attribute textarea if textarea located outside form tags
example:
<form id="my_form"> <!-- other form elements here --> </form> <textarea name="my_txt" form="my_form"></textarea>
