2019 Failed to call to new PHPMailer that does not create an instance of PHPMailer Version 6.0.7

Failed to call new PHPMailer and does not create an instance of PHPMailer. The setting of $mail->SMTPDebug creates a stdClass instance, and then calling a non-existent method on it (isSMTP) fails. So it's all down to that instance creation failure. PHPMailer Version 6.0.7 Live Hosting Service

I have tried $mail = new stdClass();
or $mail = NULL; This is symptom fix but does not the cause and causes my page to send an email every time it loads. 

 <?php 
    use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
    use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
    require 'PHPMailer/Exception.php';
    require 'PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php';
    require 'PHPMailer/SMTP.php';


    if(isset($_POST[‘submit’]))

    $mail = new PHPMailer(true);

    $mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // 0 = off (for production use) - 1 = client messages - 2 = client and server messages
    $mail->isSMTP(); 

    $mail->Host = 'mail.email.org'; 
    $mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; <-- Recommend by the hosting service 
    $mail->Port = 465; <-- Recommend by the hosting service <--Hosting Service Docs verify this
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true;
    $mail->Username = '[email protected]';
    $mail->Password = 'Using the correct Password'; 


    $to = '[email protected]'; <-- sending this to myself
    $from = '[email protected]'; <--sending to myself


    $first_name = ((isset($_POST['FirstName']))&&(!is_null($_POST['FirstName'])))? $_POST['FirstName']:'';
    $last_name = ((isset($_POST['LastName']))&&(!is_null($_POST['LastName'])))? $_POST['LastName']:'';
    $email = ((isset($_POST['Email']))&&(!is_null($_POST['Email'])))? $_POST['Email']:'';
    $age = ((isset($_POST['Age']))&&(!is_null($_POST['Age'])))? $_POST['Age']:'';
    $student = ((isset($_POST['Student']))&&(!is_null($_POST['Student'])))? $_POST['Student']:'';
    $agree18 = ((isset($_POST['Agree18']))&&(!is_null($_POST['Agree18'])))? $_POST['Agree18']:'';


   /* Set the mail sender. */
    $mail->setFrom( $to , 'Research');

   /* Add a recipient. */
    $mail->addAddress( $_POST['Email'] , 'Research');
   /* Set the subject. */
    $mail->Subject = 'Learn More about Research Requested';

    $mail->isHTML(TRUE);
    $mail->Body = '<html> "First Name:" . $first_name . " Last Name:" . $last_name .  " Email:". $email . " Age:" . $age . " Student:" . $student . " Agree18:" . $agree18 . ""
</html>';


    $mail->AltBody = ' "First Name:" . $first_name . " Last Name:" . $last_name .  " Email:". $email . " Age:" . $age . " Student:" . $student . " Agree18:" . $agree18 . ""
';  

    if($mail->send()){

      $msg="Your email msg has been send";


    }else{

       $msg="mail msg has not been send"; 
       echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
     }
    ?>

Hope to find a solution to why it's failing.

Removed all my code, Performed what synchro stated and got this:

Fixed <-- Thanks to Synchro --> & Thanks Panthers for the input

Added use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\SMTP; <- This fixed most of my issues but not always required per Synchro

For working example with PHPMailer 6.0.7 look for Synchro's

This is a duplicate of your previous question with a different title.

When you have code that doesn't work, cut it back to a minimal example so that you exclude opportunities for ambiguity, and enable verbose, visible error reporting:

use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
require 'PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
var_dump($mail);

If that doesn't work, a more complex script isn't going to work either. For this to fail, I would suspect that there is something severely wrong with your PHP installation, and at the very least I would expect to see some warnings logged.

You forgot a bracket after condition with isset($_POST[...]).

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    //                      ^^
    $mail = new PHPMailer(true);

    $mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // 0 = off (for production use) - 1 = client messages - 2 = client and server messages
    $mail->isSMTP(); 
    ...
}
// of course, don'f forget to add a closing one too here.
