I am using PHPMailer

IF doesnt send PHPsendMail. If you were on WP I’d suggested to use the WP Mail SMTP

[Yash_Raj]

I am not in wordpress

[anon2458064]

yeah I know. Thats why i said IF you were on WordPress …

So, the faulty lines are these:

echo '1'

,

echo '2'

and this:

$mail->AltBody = You have registerd your mail to recieve newsletters from techandblogs.ml;

You need to correct them in order for your code to run fine. So, the first two lines I listed should have a semicolon at the end, while the third line I listed should have text enclosed in double or single quotes, like this:

$mail->AltBody = "You have registerd your mail to recieve newsletters from techandblogs.ml";

First of all, don’t share your password on the forum. I’ve reset your account to a new, random password.

As for the 500 error, this is a good place to start:
