phpmailerHow can I use a try catch block with PHPMailer?

A try catch block can be used with PHPMailer to handle errors that may occur when sending an email. This will allow you to have a more precise control over the errors and how they are handled.

To use a try catch block with PHPMailer, you can use the following example code:

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

The code above will attempt to send an email, and if an error occurs, the error message will be displayed. The $mail->ErrorInfo variable contains the error message that will be displayed.

Code explanation

• try: The try block contains the code that will be attempted, in this case sending an email.
• catch: The catch block contains the code that will be executed if an error occurs, in this case displaying the error message.
• Exception: The exception class is used to catch errors.
• $e: The $e variable is an instance of the Exception class, and it contains the error message.
• $mail->ErrorInfo: This variable contains the error message that will be displayed.
