I am using PHPmailer github, I use the "gmail.php" from the examples and it works perfect when I open it in my browser. But when I copy the code and add it to my existing signup script I get an 500 Error. Also when I try to include it I get an 500 Error. How can I add phpmailer to my existing signup script?
