PHPMailer with HTML Contact Form - php

Question

Sorry for my bad English :(
I got a big problem here, I have html homepage with contact form in there. I would like to have this form send with PHPMailer, when I send a message I get this but without text :/ I see only the sample text like "Here is the subject". Can someone help me please?
here is the phpmailer.php code:
<?php
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
require 'src/Exception.php';
require 'src/PHPMailer.php';
require 'src/SMTP.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer(true); // Passing `true` enables exceptions
try {
//Server settings
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0; // Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp.test.de'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'MY EMAIL'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'MY PASSWORT!'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 465; // TCP port to connect to
//Recipients
$mail->setFrom('MY EMAIL');
$mail->addAddress('MY EMAIL'); // Add a recipient
//Content
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->send();
echo 'Message has been sent';
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
?>
MY EMAIL ist just for secure here
And here ist the code from the html contact form:
<!-- Contact Form -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8 col-md-offset-2">
<form action="phpmailer_new.php" method="POST">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" name="mail" class="form-control" placeholder="Email Address">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" name="subject" class="form-control" placeholder="Subject">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<textarea class="form-control" name="text" rows="3" placeholder="Your Message"></textarea>
<button class="btn btn-default" type="submit">Send Message</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
<!-- End Contact Form -->

You need to add your variables $_POST in your PHPmailer script :
<?php
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
require 'src/Exception.php';
require 'src/PHPMailer.php';
require 'src/SMTP.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer(true); // Passing `true` enables exceptions
try {
//Server settings
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0; // Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp.test.de'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'MY EMAIL'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'MY PASSWORT!'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 465; // TCP port to connect to
//Recipients
$mail->setFrom('MY EMAIL');
$mail->addAddress($_POST['mail']); // Add a recipient
//Content
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = $_POST['subject'];
$mail->Body = $_POST['text'];
$mail->send();
//echo 'Message has been sent';
header('Location: http://www.example.com/contact.php');
exit();
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
?>
