this is my code

<?php 
require('PHPMailerAutoload.php');
//include('class.phpmailer.php');
//require("class.smtp.php");
    if (isset($_POST['send'])) {
        $name=$_POST['name'];
        $email=$_POST['email'];
        $phone=$_POST['phone'];
        $message=$_POST['message'];
    }
$mail = new PHPMailer;
//$mail->SMTPDebug = 3;

//$admin_email="[email protected]";

$mail->setFrom($email, $name);
$mail->addAddress("[email protected]", 'Proyo Technologies');     // Add a recipient


$mail->addReplyTo($email, $name);

$mail->isHTML(true);                                  // Set email format to HTML


$mail->Subject = 'this is subject part';
$mail->Body    = "<strong>".$name."</strong>"."<br>".$phone."<br>".$email."<br>".$message;
$mail->AltBody = 'nice job';

if(!$mail->send()) {
    echo 'Message could not be sent. ';
    echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
    header("Location: http://www.digitalseocompany.in/demo/index.php"); /* Redirect browser */
exit();
}


 ?>

and this is my result:

Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: Could not instantiate mail function.

Try use $mail->isSMTP(); in server config
