outdated version of PHPmailer

fyi, it looks like the current version of PHPmailer is a little different than the version used to demonstrate this in the video. Sample files are different. I think another file PHPMailerAutoload.php has to be in the inc folder, and the way the email body is handled is different as well.

Great course, so far, though. Learning a lot.

Thank you this helped me out. You are correct the PHPMailerAutoload.php has to be saved into the phpmailer folder in the inc folder. You don't have to reference it in your code though.
