Issues with PHP contact form (won't send inquiries to my email) :(

Question

I'm having the most difficult time trying to find the error in this php form. I edited it in every possible way and the form submits on my website, however I am never in receipt of any sent form to my email. Would someone be so kind as to look over the code below for my mail.php form? TIA

Amanda

<?
require("class.phpmailer.php");


//form validation vars
$formok = true;
$errors = array();

//sumbission data
$ipaddress = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$date = date('d/m/Y');
$time = date('H:i:s');

//form data
$name = $_POST['name']; 
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];


$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP();                                         // send via SMTP
$mail->Host     = "smtp.gmail.com";                      // SMTP   server
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;                                    // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Username = "dont.reply.m@gmail.com";                  // SMTP username
$mail->Password = "password";                            // SMTP password

$mail->From     = "dont.reply.m@gmail.com";              // SMTP username
$mail->AddAddress("mypersonalemail@msn.com");                // Your Address
$mail->Subject  =  "New Message from your website!";

if(!$mail->Send())

Try to add $mail->Port = 587 and refer the following link.Sometimes $mail->SMTPSecure should be SSL in case o gmail other than TLS

If you are testing it in localhost make sure you have a mail server installed.

If in online try using valid info

$mail->Host     = "smtp.gmail.com";                      // SMTP   server
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;                                    // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Username = "dont.reply.m@gmail.com";                  // SMTP username
$mail->Password = "password";                            // SMTP password

$mail->From     = "dont.reply.m@gmail.com";              // SMTP username

replace those for the reals
