Contact form isn't sending the message - php

Question

so I am building a contact for mon my website, but for some reasons, I am getting this error
[![error image][1]][1] (https://prnt.sc/vw49gd - link to image as the one uploaded doesn't seem to get it)
My HTML form is fairly simple:
<form class="nk-form-submit" action="form/contact.php" method="post">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="field-item animated" data-animate="fadeInUp" data-delay="0.8">
<label class="field-label textSubTittleColors ttu">Your Name</label>
<div class="field-wrap">
<input name="contact-name" placeholder="First & Last Name" type="text" class="input-bordered contactUsTextfields required">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="field-item animated" data-animate="fadeInUp" data-delay="0.9">
<label class="field-label textSubTittleColors ttu">Your Email</label>
<div class="field-wrap">
<input name="contact-email" placeholder="example#gmail.com" type="email" class="input-bordered contactUsTextfields required email">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="field-item animated" data-animate="fadeInUp" data-delay="1.0">
<label class="field-label textSubTittleColors ttu">Your Message</label>
<div class="field-wrap ">
<textarea name="contact-message" placeholder="Leave your question or comment here" class="input-bordered contactUsTextfields input-textarea required"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<input type="text" class="d-none" name="form-anti-honeypot" value="">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-5 text-right animated" data-animate="fadeInUp" data-delay="1.1">
<button type="submit" name="submit" class="btn sendButton" >SEND</button>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-7 order-sm-first">
<div class="form-results"></div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
But the issue relies on the contact.php code:
<?php
header('Content-type: application/json');
require_once('php-mailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php'); // Include PHPMailer
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$emailTO = $emailBCC = $emailCC = array(); $formEmail = '';
### Enter Your Sitename
$sitename = 'Organization';
### Enter your email addresses: #required
$emailTO[] = array( 'email' => 'myname#microsoftMail.org', 'name' => 'name' );
### Enable bellow parameters & update your BCC email if require.
//$emailBCC[] = array( 'email' => 'email#yoursite.com', 'name' => 'Your Name' );
### Enable bellow parameters & update your CC email if require.
//$emailCC[] = array( 'email' => 'email#yoursite.com', 'name' => 'Your Name' );
### Enter Email Subject
$subject = "Contact Us " . ' - ' . $sitename;
### If your did not recive email after submit form please enable below line and must change to your correct domain name. eg. noreply#example.com
//$formEmail = 'noreply#yoursite.com';
### Success Messages
$msg_success = "We have <strong>successfully</strong> received your message. We'll get back to you soon.";
if( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
if (isset($_POST["contact-email"]) && $_POST["contact-email"] != '' && isset($_POST["contact-name"]) && $_POST["contact-name"] != '') {
### Form Fields
$cf_email = $_POST["contact-email"];
$cf_name = $_POST["contact-name"];
$cf_message = isset($_POST["contact-message"]) ? $_POST["contact-message"] : '';
$honeypot = isset($_POST["form-anti-honeypot"]) ? $_POST["form-anti-honeypot"] : 'bot';
$bodymsg = '';
if ($honeypot == '' && !(empty($emailTO))) {
### If you want use SMTP
// $mail->isSMTP();
// $mail->SMTPDebug = 0;
// $mail->Host = 'smtp_host';
// $mail->Port = 587;
// $mail->SMTPAuth = true;
// $mail->Username = 'smtp_username';
// $mail->Password = 'smtp_password';
### Regular email configure
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$mail->From = ($formEmail !='') ? $formEmail : $cf_email;
$mail->FromName = $cf_name . ' - ' . $sitename;
$mail->AddReplyTo($cf_email, $cf_name);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
foreach( $emailTO as $to ) {
$mail->AddAddress( $to['email'] , $to['name'] );
}
### if CC found
if (!empty($emailCC)) {
foreach( $emailCC as $cc ) {
$mail->AddCC( $cc['email'] , $cc['name'] );
}
}
### if BCC found
if (!empty($emailBCC)) {
foreach( $emailBCC as $bcc ) {
$mail->AddBCC( $bcc['email'] , $bcc['name'] );
}
}
### Include Form Fields into Body Message
$bodymsg .= isset($cf_name) ? "Contact Name: $cf_name<br><br>" : '';
$bodymsg .= isset($cf_email) ? "Contact Email: $cf_email<br><br>" : '';
$bodymsg .= isset($cf_message) ? "Message: $cf_message<br><br>" : '';
$bodymsg .= $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] ? '<br>---<br><br>This email was sent from: ' . $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] : '';
// Mailing
$mail->MsgHTML( $bodymsg );
$is_emailed = $mail->Send();
if( $is_emailed === true ) {
$response = array ('result' => "success", 'message' => $msg_success);
} else {
$response = array ('result' => "error", 'message' => $mail->ErrorInfo);
}
echo json_encode($response);
} else {
echo json_encode(array ('result' => "error", 'message' => "Bot <strong>Detected</strong>.! Clean yourself Botster.!"));
}
} else {
echo json_encode(array ('result' => "error", 'message' => "Please <strong>Fill up</strong> all required fields and try again."));
}
}
I have uploaded this on the hostgator domain, but every time I click the send button I keep getting the error mentioned above.
I also tried several different codes from either other posts here in stackoverflow or from youtube videos I have seen, but its all the same result.

You may have used the wrong HTTP request type. Try the method attribute as shown below.
method="get"
As used in:
Change your HTML to:
<form class="nk-form-submit" action="form/contact.php" method="get">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="field-item animated" data-animate="fadeInUp" data-delay="0.8">
<label class="field-label textSubTittleColors ttu">Your Name</label>
<div class="field-wrap">
<input name="contact-name" placeholder="First & Last Name" type="text" class="input-bordered contactUsTextfields required">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="field-item animated" data-animate="fadeInUp" data-delay="0.9">
<label class="field-label textSubTittleColors ttu">Your Email</label>
<div class="field-wrap">
<input name="contact-email" placeholder="example#gmail.com" type="email" class="input-bordered contactUsTextfields required email">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="field-item animated" data-animate="fadeInUp" data-delay="1.0">
<label class="field-label textSubTittleColors ttu">Your Message</label>
<div class="field-wrap ">
<textarea name="contact-message" placeholder="Leave your question or comment here" class="input-bordered contactUsTextfields input-textarea required"></textarea>

<div class="row">
