@Niyonkuru-olivier <https://github.com/Niyonkuru-olivier> It looks like
your SMTP server address is either incorrect or the server is unreachable -
check the address or try a different SMTP server

How I check those SMTP server address
SMTPDebug = SMTP::DEBUG_SERVER;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Host = "smtp.example.com";
$mail->SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_STARTTLS;
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->Username = "[email protected]";
$mail->Password = "password";
$mail->setFrom($email, $name);
$mail->addAddress("[email protected]", "Olivier");
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $message;
$mail->send();
header("Location: sent.html");
this is my code. helps me
smtp.example.com is not a valid SMTP server, it's just an example. You need to use one you have access to (e.g. smtp.google.com if you have a Gmail account etc.)
