I cannot find any other question regarding this but I am capable of using PHPMailer with a local XAMPP server - however I have switched to a Vite server to use Three.js applications with. I want to now use PHPMailer but the PHP prints directly onto the website page, rather than running. Does anyone know of something I could do to integrate PHPMailer with a Vite server? Thanks! I have left out the rest due to it stops working and starts printing onto the page after the first ->

<?php

//Import PHPMailer classes into the global namespace
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\SMTP;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;

// Include library files to send emails
require '..\..\vendor\phpmailer\phpmailer\src\Exception.php';
require '..\..\vendor\phpmailer\phpmailer\src\PHPMailer.php';
require '..\..\vendor\phpmailer\phpmailer\src\SMTP.php';

//Load Composer's autoloader
require __DIR__ . '..\..\..\vendor\autoload.php';

// Prepare response to user after new account attempted to be created
$msg = "";



    $mail = new PHPMailer();
    $mail->isSMTP();                                       
    $mail->Host       = 'smtp.gmail';                
    $mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                           
    $mail->Port       = 25;
    /* I have left out the rest due to it stops working and starts printing onto the page after the first ->*/
