How can PHPMailer be used to send HTML emails effectively?

To send HTML emails effectively using PHPMailer, you need to set the Content-Type header to "text/html" and provide the HTML content in the body of the email. This will ensure that the email is displayed as HTML content when received by the recipient. 

<?php
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$mail = new PHPMailer(true);

try {
    $mail->isSMTP();
    $mail->Host = 'smtp.example.com';
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true;
    $mail->Username = 'your@example.com';
    $mail->Password = 'yourpassword';
    $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
    $mail->Port = 587;

    $mail->setFrom('your@example.com', 'Your Name');
    $mail->addAddress('recipient@example.com', 'Recipient Name');

    $mail->isHTML(true);
    $mail->Subject = 'HTML Email Test';
    $mail->Body = '<h1>Hello, this is a test HTML email!</h1>';

    $mail->send();
    echo 'Email sent successfully';
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: {$mail->ErrorInfo}";
}
?>
