I'm trying to send an email using the following code and I'm getting Internal Server Error. I am not sure why I am having this trouble.
PHP code:
<?php
$mail = new PHPMailer(); // create a new object
$mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0; // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // authentication enabled
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for Gmail
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->Username = '[email protected]';
$mail->Password = "mypasswordhere";
$mail->SetFrom($from, $from_name);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $body;
$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]');
if(!$mail->Send()) {
$error = 'Mail error: '.$mail->ErrorInfo;
return false;
} else {
$error = 'Message sent!';
return true;
}
?>
I just placed this file as test.php inside the PhpMail folder after extracting it. Like the below

PHPmailer is just a piece of PHP code, and there are no limits on how often a particular piece of PHP code can be executed on a website. The only limits on PHPmailer are the limits of whatever email backend you're using.
usually this happens because the sending server is already marked as spam by somebody. The way i found is go to the gmail account mark the item as 'important' in gmail and 'Add to Safe senders' in Outlook.
You missed a single quote on the line:
$mail->Password = 'mypasswordhere';
The error behind is probably a PHP parsing error, which is shown in your Apache error log.
