PHPMailer sent message, but returned CLIENT/SERVER dialog to browser
So I've searched Google and Stackoverflow and I'm a bit surprised I could not find this problem.
I'm using XAMPP/localhost and PHPmailer sending an email to my yahoo account using my gmail email account. Everything worked perfectly with the email being send and received, including a sample attachment.
The problem is my browser is displaying what appears to be a dialog of the SERVER/CLIENT for each step of the behind the scene processing just before the "Sent successful" message.
Sample output here:

Message has been sent
I put line breaks in to make it more readable, but it comes out as one long string on the screen.
Here is the code. How do I suppress this output?
require_once "../phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php";
$mail = new \PHPMailer(true);
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
$mail->Username = "[email protected]";
$mail->Password = "xxx";
$mail->SetFrom('[email protected]', 'Randy S');
$mail->WordWrap = 50;
$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]', 'Randy');
$mail->Subject = 'PHPMailer Test Subject';
$mail->Body = "Hi! \n\n This is my first e-mail sent through PHPMailer.";
$mail->AddAttachment('upload/names.txt'); // attachment
if(!$mail->Send()){
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message has been sent";
}
Answer
Comment or remove this line or set it to 0:
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
It's used to display errors and messages.
From the PHPMailer site:
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
// 1 = errors and messages
// 2 = messages only
