Here is the solution for when the for is submitted with the successful message all form fields to get cleared. for that set the values equals to false check the code below

isSMTP();
        /*Server Configuration*/
        $mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; // Which SMTP server to use.
        $mail->Port = 587; // Which port to use, 587 is the default port for TLS security.
        $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Which security method to use. TLS is most secure.
        $mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Whether you need to login. This is almost always required.
        $mail->Username = ""; // Your Gmail address.
        $mail->Password = ""; // Your Gmail login password or App Specific Password.
        /*Message Configuration*/
        $mail->setFrom($email, $full_Name); // Set the sender of the message.
        $mail->addAddress(''); // Set the recipient of the message.
        $mail->Subject = 'Contact form submission from your Website'; // The subject of the message
        /*Message Content - Choose simple text or HTML email*/
        $mail->isHTML(true);
        // Choose to send either a simple text email...
        $mail->Body = 'Name: ' . $full_Name . '
' . 'PhoneNumber:  ' . $phoneNumber . '
' . 'Email:  ' . $email . '

' . 'Message:  ' . '' . $msg . ''; // Set a plain text body.
        // ... or send an email with HTML.
        //$mail->msgHTML(file_get_contents('contents.html'));
        // Optional when using HTML: Set an alternative plain text message for email clients who prefer that.
        //$mail->AltBody = 'This is a plain-text message body'; 
        // Optional: attach a file
        //$mail->addAttachment('images/phpmailer_mini.png');
        if ($mail->send()) {
            $result_success = "Your message was sent successfully!  " . 
            //Here is the solution for when the for is submitted with the successful message all form fields to get cleared.
            $full_Name;
            $full_Name = false;
            $email = false;
            $phoneNumber = false;
            $msg = false;
        } else {
            $result_error = "Something went wrong. Check your Network connection and Please try again.";
        }
    }
}
function test_input($data)
{
    $data = trim($data);
    $data = stripslashes($data);
    $data = htmlspecialchars($data);
    return $data;
}

// This file is PHP.
    
Fill in all fields.';

            // Set $success variable to an empty string.
            $success = '';
        }
    }
   ?>

Use value=""
You'll then have to create the $success variable--as I did in my example.

After submitting the post you can redirect using inline javascript like below:

echo '';

I use this code all the time to clear form data and reload the current form. The empty href reloads the current page in a reset mode.

You can also use unset function to do this e.g. below is my code where I verify an email existence.

    if($mail->check($email)){
        $status = 'succ';
        $statusMsg = 'Given email <'.$email.'> exists!';
        unset($_REQUEST["name"]);
        unset($_REQUEST["email"]);
        unset($_REQUEST["comment"]);

    }elseif(verifyEmail::validate($email)){
        $status = 'err';
        $statusMsg = 'Given email <'.$email.'> is valid, but does not exist!';
    }else{
        $status = 'err';
        $statusMsg = 'Given email <'.$email.'> is not valid, not exist!';
    }
}else{
    $status = 'err';
    $statusMsg = 'Enter the email address that is to be verified';
}

This can be used after the mysql command of Insert a record in the table and that does it. It resets the values entered there in the fields.
