Hello sir.

I'm someone who just finished your php for beginners course and I'm glad I did.

But I'm curious to know if you have any thoughts on the next step (preferably)from your channel sir.

For someone who can't afford the MVC course for now, maybe you'd have some better list to try hands on after that sir

Thanks very much, Dave.
Can you help me with a serious challenge that I am facing, please?

My PHPMailer successfully sends mail as $mail->send() = true;

But there's no mail in the target inbox!

How would you overcome this?
