Urgency deleted: It may be urgent to you, but it isn't to us. All that your stressing the urgency does is to make us think you have left it too late, and want us to do it for you. This annoys some people, and can slow a response.

1°) Why this QA is C# related ? I see Only PHP code :)

2°) What you found at line 3 in "C:\xampp\htdocs\test.php" ?

"C:\xampp\htdocs\test.php" that is the actual class that i am trying to send email from

It was long time ago that i did PHP, but a linefeed or spacing is not needed after the ?> element ?
ie :
<?
require("path\phpmailer.php");

is there a method (or function to PHP people) in the PHPMailer class called IsSMTP();?

By the naming it sounds more like a property that you would assign a value to, but I can't be sure as I don't know PHPMailer.

Given that further on you seem to call a similarly-named method:

$mail->IsHTML(true);

You might want to pass a boolean to IsSMTP();:

$mail->IsSMTP(true);

Try this, should work

Assumption

***YOUR PHPMAILER is in a folder (PHPmailer) and copied into your current directory

<?php
require_once('PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php'); 
$mail = new PHPMailer(); 
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1;
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = "10.10.27.7";
$mail->Username = "bala@*****.co.uk";
$mail->Password = "******"; 
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->From = "bala@*******.co.uk";
$mail->FromName = "test";
$mail->AddReplyTo("bala@******.co.uk");
$mail->AddAddress("bala@*****.co.uk");
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = "Test message sent using the PHPMailer component";
$mail->Body = "This is a test message.";
$mail->Send();
?>
