contact mail in php using SMTP

I am unable to send a mail. Please help me to fix the issue.

Hi, unable in which sense? The script fails the connection with the SMTP or something else? Do you have PHP error logs or SMTP error logs?

Replace lines below and including 47 with:

if(!$mail->Send()) {
    echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
    echo "Message sent!";
}

You should get some additional information about the error. You can also raise the debug level through $mail->SMTPDebug = 2;.

Some notes about the debugging with PHPMailer:

i am getting below error.

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.Please contact the server administrator to inform of the time the error occurred and of anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Sorry, due to the PHPMailer tag I thought you were using the library.

From what I see you're using fsockopen() which works, but depending on the authentication mode your SMTP client must be required to reply to the server, before actually sending the message and, if this does not happen, then it will throw an error and close the connection. For this reason you should check the SMTP server logs.

If you can't, then try to use the linked library, it handles multiple authentication methods and it allows to debug easily.
