15,097 PointsPHPMailer: 500 Internal Server Error
I've been attempting to set up PHPMailer on a website and I keep getting a 500 Internal Server Error. I have no idea what the problem is. Can someone please help me out? I would greatly appreciate it.

15,097 PointsI found the solution, if anyone is interested.
The problem is where I told the program to "continue". I removed that and it worked perfectly.
