$to = $_POST['email'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
if(!empty($to) && !empty($name) && !empty($subject) && !empty($message))
{
require_once "vendor/autoload.php";
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = ''; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = ''; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = ''; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 25; // TCP port to connect to
$mail->From = 'xpertphp2018@gmail.com'; // Add a recipient email
$mail->FromName = 'XpertPhp'; // Add a recipient Name
$mail->addAddress($to); // Add a Sender email
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = $subject;
