It looks like there may be an issue with the path. In your htdocs directory, do you also have an inc folder? Does the inc folder contain a phpmailer folder, and does this contain the class.phpmailer.php?
contact.php is referencing that using a relative path, so inc should be in the same folder as contact.php.
