I installed PHPMailer to send emails from my PHP application. I'm using Mailtrap to fake the server.
However, when I submit the form to send an email I get this error below:
Fatal error: Uncaught PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host. Failed to connect to server in /home/raso1970/cliquedigitale.com4muz.com/vendor/phpmailer/phpmailer/src/PHPMailer.php:2233 Stack trace: #0 /home/raso1970/cliquedigitale.com4muz.com/vendor/phpmailer/phpmailer/src/PHPMailer.php(2019): PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer->smtpConnect(Array) #1 /home/raso1970/cliquedigitale.com4muz.com/vendor/phpmailer/phpmailer/src/PHPMailer.php(1678): PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer->smtpSend('Date: Sat, 8 Ap...', 'This is the HTM...') #2 /home/raso1970/cliquedigitale.com4muz.com/vendor/phpmailer/phpmailer/src/PHPMailer.php(1516): PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer->postSend() #3 /home/raso1970/cliquedigitale.com4muz.com/email.php(80): PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer->send() #4 {main} thrown in /home/raso1970/cliquedigitale.com4muz.com/vendor/phpmailer/phpmailer/src/PHPMailer.php on line 2233
I wrote this code in email.php:
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
/////// START PHPMAILER //////
//Import PHPMailer classes into the global namespace

?>

<?php require_once("./classes/Config.php"); ?>
<?php
//Load Composer's autoloader
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
/**

*/
//Create an instance; passing `true` enables exceptions
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
//Server settings
// $mail->SMTPDebug = SMTP::DEBUG_SERVER; //Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); //Send using SMTP
$mail->Host = Config::SMTP_HOST; //Set the SMTP server to send through
$mail->Username = Config::SMTP_USER; //SMTP username
$mail->Password = Config::SMTP_PASSWORD; //SMTP password
$mail->Port = Config::SMTP_PORT; //TCP port to connect to; use 587 if you have set `SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_STARTTLS`
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; //Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; //Enable implicit TLS encryption
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
//Recipients
$mail->setFrom("john@doe.com", "John Doe");
$mail->addAddress("doe@john.com");
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
////// END PHPMAILER /////
///// START SENDING EMAIL //////
if($mail->send()){
echo "IT WAS SENT";
} else {
echo "NOT SENT";
}
///// END SENDING EMAIL /////
?>
Then, I use this file in contact.php in the action attribute of the form:

I was expecting to receive an email in my inbox in Mailtrap. However, I get the error above.
Edit: Now, I'm using o2switch SMTP host because I would like to put this project online. Currently, I can connect to SMTP host. However I got an error.
