I have deployed PHPMailer in my PHP project without using composer.
I can get it to work but strangely at the expense of my login which all of a sudden does not authenticate with this error.
Warning: require_once(../resources/PHPMailer/src/Exception.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/ecom_march/ecom/resources/functions_contactus.php on line 7
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '../resources/PHPMailer/src/Exception.php' (include_path='.:/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php') in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/ecom_march/ecom/resources/functions_contactus.php on line 7
I am wondering what might cause the conflict or if I am instantiating this library incorrectly.
functions_contactus.php

if ($mail->send())
echo(" Your email has been sent");
else
