        enter code here

      echo'<script> window.location="../index.html"; </script> ';
    }
      ?>

check the php mailer docs for the correct usage of `AddAttachment()` because i am pretty sure you did not use it right — Rotimi, Dec 12 '17 at 08:23

you really need to improve on how you explain your problems though. The message body of your question makes no sense — Rotimi, Dec 12 '17 at 08:25

Initially $mail is an email address then it becomes a PHPMailer object then the AddReplyTo is set to be PHPMailer Object ( That's not very strange!!! ).

So for starters change

$mail=$_POST['email'];

To

$reply_to_email=$_POST['email'];

And then change...

$mail->AddReplyTo($mail);

To

$mail->AddReplyTo($reply_to_email);

And you need to validate that $_POST['email'] is an email address and not someones shopping list etc... You are open to attack with that form.

Whoops I missed more misuse of $mail...

$mail->From($mail);

Should be, or rather, not be the above...

$mail->From($respond_to_email);

Change the names to suit, but do not call them $mail!

UPDATE: In Addressing your "stated issue" and without regurgitating the answer here, go and read up on how to use $mail->AddAttachment Here

just curious but was this `$mail->AddAttachment( $_FILES["uploaded_file"]["name"]);` used right? – Rotimi Dec 12 '17 at 08:36
@Akintunde Yep, but I wasn't addressing that... just this glaring foobar. You are correct in the OP requiring to read up on how to use $mail->AddAttachment(). – TimBrownlaw Dec 12 '17 at 08:49
Where does it end! – TimBrownlaw Dec 12 '17 at 08:56
