upload files to hostprovider: empty page

Question

I created a contact form with php and used xampp for this. For mail I used PHPMailer. But when I upload my files to ma host and test the page, it doesn't work. It comes shows a blanke page.

here is my mail.php code:

<?php

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

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



if(isset( $_POST['name']))
  $name = filter_var($_POST['name'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
if(isset( $_POST['vorname']))
  $name = filter_var($_POST['vorname'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
if(isset( $_POST['email']))
  $email = filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
if(isset( $_POST['message']))
  $message = filter_var($_POST['message'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
if(isset( $_POST['subject']))
  $subject = filter_var($_POST['subject'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);


$mail = new PHPMailer(true);                              // Passing `true` enables exceptions
try {
    //Server settings
    $mail->SMTPDebug = 2;                                 // Enable verbose debug output
    $mail->isSMTP();                                      // Set mailer to use SMTP
    $mail->Host = 'XXX';                                 // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true;                               // Enable SMTP authentication
    $mail->Username = 'behar@zenuni.ch';                 // SMTP username
    $mail->Password = 'XXX';                           // SMTP password
    $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';                            // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
    $mail->Port = 587;                                    // TCP port to connect to

    //sender
    $mail->setFrom($email, $name);

    //empfänger
    $mail->addAddress('behar@zenuni.ch', 'Behar Zenuni');     // Add a recipient

    //body content
    $body = "<p><strong>Sie haben eine Nachricht erhlaten:</strong> <br><br> " . $message . "</p>";


    //Content
    $mail->isHTML(true);                                  // Set email format to HTML
    $mail->Subject = ' ' . $subject;

    $mail->Body    = $body;
    //$mail->AltBody = strip_tags($body);

    $mail->send();
    echo 'Message has been sent';
    //header("location: index.php?sent"); -> relocate to index.php
    header("location: thankyou.php");


} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: ', $mail->ErrorInfo;
}

and this is my index code:

Can somebody help me what I am doring wrong, when uploading to my hostprovider? When I try my page via xampp, then it workes.

You need to check your error log; there are probably messages there that tell you what is wrong exactly. — jeroen, Jul 27 '18 at 07:54
