PHPMailer发送邮件失败求助：SMTP连接错误（Hostgator服务商）

Hey folks, I’ve been wrestling with this frustrating issue for an entire week now, and I’m at my wit’s end. I’ve gone through every viable solution I could find on Stack Overflow, but none of them have resolved the problem.

Here’s what’s happening: My email function that uses PHPMailer with SMTP randomly either takes forever to execute and times out, or throws this error message:

PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception: SMTP connect() failed

I’m really hoping someone here can point me in the right direction or share a fix I haven’t tried yet. Any help would be massively appreciated—thank you so much!
