Can’t add new element to Quform PHP

[tomf2468a]

Hello,
Brand new user of this software. I am trying to add an additional element to the standard form (a not required phone number field). But, I keep getting both an error and a failed email (nothing sent). Works perfect without the mods.

This is the error I’m getting with the phone number field:

Warning: Undefined variable $phone in /homepages/36/d833424105/htdocs/quform/process.php on line 221

Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Quform::addElement(): Argument #1 ($element) must be of type Quform_Element, null given, called in /homepages/36/d833424105/htdocs/quform/process.php on line 221 and defined in /homepages/36/d833424105/htdocs/quform/lib/Quform.php:31
Stack trace:
#0 /homepages/36/d833424105/htdocs/quform/process.php(221): Quform->addElement()
#1 {main}
thrown in /homepages/36/d833424105/htdocs/quform/lib/Quform.php on line 31

I added this after the email and before the message to my contact page html

  <!-- Begin Text input element -->
                                <div class="quform-element quform-element-text">
                                    <div class="quform-spacer">
                                        <label for="phone">Phone Number (Optional) </label>
                                        <div class="quform-input">
                                            <input id="phone" type="text" name="phone" />
                                        </div>
                                    </div>
                                </div>
                                <!-- End Text input element --> 

I added this to the process.php

 /**
 * Configure the phone element
 * Filters: Trim
 * Validators: Not required
 */
$name = new Quform_Element('phone', 'Phone Number (Optional)');
$name->addFilter('trim');
/* $name->addValidator(''); */
$form->addElement($phone);        

I’m only semi strong modifying PHP, but I’m wondering if I need to modify Quform > lib > Quform.php ??

 public function addElement(Quform_Element $element)
    {
        $element->setForm($this);
        $this->_elements[$element->getName()] = $element;
        return $this;
    } 

If so, an example would be great!

OP again, I forgot to mention… I did check and believe I am editing the correct process file

<form class="quform" action="quform/process.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Thanks! I finally saw that (after looking at that code 10 time) and was coming here to say “ignore that stupid user mistake” 😉
