phpmailerHow can I use PHPMailer to send emails from my WordPress site?

PHPMailer is a library for sending emails from PHP applications. It can be used with WordPress sites to send emails from the site. To use PHPMailer with WordPress, you will need to include the library in your project and call it from the functions.php file. Here is an example of code that can be used to send an email with PHPMailer in WordPress:

<?php
// Include the PHPMailer library
require_once('path/to/PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php');

// Create a new PHPMailer object
$mail = new PHPMailer();

// Set the From address
$mail->From = '[email protected]';

// Set the To address
$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]');

// Set the Subject
$mail->Subject = 'This is a test email';

// Set the body of the message
$mail->Body = 'This is a test email sent with PHPMailer in WordPress.';

// Send the email
$mail->Send();

This code will send an email with the specified subject and body text. The $mail object is used to set the From address, To address, Subject, and Body of the email. The $mail->Send() method is used to actually send the email.
