2 Way To Integrate PhpMailer :

Step 1 : You can integrate PhpMailer Using Composer.In Command Prompt Enter Below Line & Run This.

composer require phpmailer/phpmailer

Step 2 : You can download the library & use this.For download the PhpMailer Library Click Here

Important :

For run the PhpMailer add below line in the code.without this line PhpMailer library can’t work.

use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;

require 'path/to/PHPMailer/src/Exception.php';
require 'path/to/PHPMailer/src/PHPMailer.php';
require 'path/to/PHPMailer/src/SMTP.php';

If you’re not using the SMTP class explicitly (you’re probably not), you don’t need a use line for the SMTP class. Even if you’re not using exceptions, you do still need to load the Exception class as it is used internally.

Send Mail With PhpMailer Example :

<?php
//Import PHPMailer classes into the global namespace
//These must be at the top of your script, not inside a function
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\SMTP;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;

//Load Composer's autoloader
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

//Create an instance; passing `true` enables exceptions
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);

try {
    //Server settings
    $mail->isSMTP();                                            //Send using SMTP
    $mail->Host       = 'smtp.example.com';                     //Set the SMTP server to send through
    $mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                                   //Enable SMTP authentication
    $mail->Username   = 'user@example.com';                     //SMTP username
    $mail->Password   = 'EnterYorE-MailPassword';               //SMTP password
    $mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';            
    $mail->Port       = 465;              //use 587 if you have tls encryption

    //Recipients
    $mail->setFrom('from@example.com', 'Mailer');
    $mail->addAddress('joe@example.net', 'Joe User');     //Add a recipient
    $mail->addAddress('ellen@example.com');               //Name is optional
    $mail->addReplyTo('info@example.com', 'Information');
    $mail->addCC('cc@example.com');
    $mail->addBCC('bcc@example.com');

    //Content
    $mail->isHTML(true);                                  //Set email format to HTML
    $mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
    $mail->Body    = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
