How can PHPMailer exceptions be handled to avoid displaying detailed error messages to users?

To handle PHPMailer exceptions and avoid displaying detailed error messages to users, you can catch the exceptions and display a generic error message instead. This helps to prevent leaking sensitive information about your server configuration to potential attackers. 

use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;

try {
    // Your PHPMailer code that may throw exceptions
} catch (Exception $e) {
    // Log the detailed error message for debugging purposes
    error_log('PHPMailer Error: ' . $e->getMessage());
    
    // Display a generic error message to the user
    echo 'An error occurred while sending the email. Please try again later.';
}
