The error displays if
 
(isset($_POST['email']) && isset($_POST['name']) && isset($_POST['offer']))
 
is false.
 
So it looks like you aren't passing all the $_POST data to the script.
 
You can sanitize the date in various ways. This is part of it: http://php.net/manual/en/filter.filters.sanitize.php
 
Also consider a honeypot and check to ensure the form isn't submitted too quickly.

Beyond simple is this:

3 lines of html and it just works. No more messing with contact forms.
I keep thinking there must be a catch

Hi all,
 
I am looking at a number of courses - CIW Web Foundations Associate Certificate, or Dreamweaver CC Certification. I am looking to gain a qualification that will help me along the way, and improve my changes of applying for a position with a Web design company. I would also be looking to freelance long term.
 
What course would you recommend as I've heard the CIW is a waste of time? Would the CIW be a better option as it appears to be a more recognised cert?

Getting a Dreamweaver CC Certification will probably decrease your chances of getting a job.
 
Robert's advice on this is spot on.

These all sound very out of date, Dreamweaver has long since been dead.
 
I would recommend an online education site like Team TreeHouse or CodeSchool. You don't need any certificates or accreditations, they don't mean much at all these days. You want some kind of portfolio, if design use dribble. If you're looking for a development position use GitHub to post code examples, dummy projects with demo pages and so on. You will be judged by your ability to code or design. Not by certificates.
 
I work with a lot of senior and principal software engineers, many are self taught.
