I have a working php contact form:

<?php
$msg = "";
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
include_once "PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php";
include_once "PHPMailer/Exception.php";
include_once "PHPMailer/SMTP.php";

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

$mail = new PHPMailer();

//if we want to send via SMTP
$mail->Host = "smtp.34sp.com";
//$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = "email";
$mail->Password = "password";
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl"; //TLS
$mail->Port = 465; //587

$mail->addAddress('email');
$mail->setFrom($email);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Body = $message;
//$mail->addAttachment($file);

if ($mail->send())
echo "<h1>Sent Successfully! Thank you"." ".$name.", We will contact you shortly!</h1></br>
Use the 'back' arrow to go back to the main page...";
else
echo "Something went wrong!";
}
?>

The confirmation message is echoed out to a new, white page. Still getting to grips with php, but I cannot work out how to get the confirmation message to appear above the form instead of appearing on a new page.

This is the form's code

<form method="post" action="contact.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="subject" placeholder="Subject..."><br>
<input name="email" type="email" placeholder="Email..."><br>
<textarea placeholder="Message..." name="message"></textarea><br>
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Send Email">
</form>



Any ideas?

Hope someone can help.

Still can't get it working!

Attached is a working copy of the current contact form. After the submit button has been clicked, confirmation is echoed onto a new page. I've tried putting the echo command in div tags above the form but just get a blank page.

I'm well out of my depth on this.
