PHP Mailer Function Updated

Randy gives an awesome 'sending email with PHP' lesson, however as time passed, the library we used to use is no longer as it was and same as it's usage.

Please double check PHPMailer's example before using it, and recommend teachers warn it under the video.

+1 on this, the lessons are out of date with what's available in the PHPMailer Github files. That said I'm sure I learnt more by having to teach myself.

I got stuck for ages getting mine working, even after following every step of the documentation. As it turns out I'd being trying to require a file called phpmailerautoload.php in my code - I didn't realise that requires were case sensitive, and the file is actually named PHPMailerAutoload.php (with the caps)! Won't be making that mistake again in a hurry.
