SMTP settings...

I have been trying to send email from my local host using PHPMailer but I can't fix this error:

Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed

$from = $_POST['Smssettings']['mail_from'];
$to = $_POST['Smssettings']['mail_to'];
$subject = $_POST['Smssettings']['mail_subject'];
$message = $_POST['Smssettings']['mail_message'];
$password="mypassword";//saving password to a varible

$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();//Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->CharSet = "UTF-8";
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->SMTPKeepAlive = true;  
$mail->Mailer = "smtp"; 
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->Username = $from;/*SMTP username*/
$mail->Password = $password;/*SMTP password*/
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;/*Enable SMTP authentication*/
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0;//set debug
$mail->From = $from;// from address to which mail is sent
$mail->FromName = 'Name';// specifying sender name
$mail->AddAddress($to);// specifying to address
$mail->AddReplyTo($from, 'Information');// specifying the mail address to which replay is sent
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!";
$mail->Body = $message;

You can use this coding for sending mail in localhost.But please include library.php,class.phpmailer.php and class.smtp.php before using this coding and I hope you have those files.

<?php
    include 'library.php'; // include the library file
    include "classes/class.phpmailer.php"; // include the class name
    include "classes/class.smtp.php";
    if(isset($_POST["send"])){
        $email = $_POST["email"];
        $mail   = new PHPMailer; // call the class 
        $mail->IsSMTP(); 
        $mail->SMTPAuth = true;     // turn on SMTP authentication
        $mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";

        $mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; //Hostname of the mail server
        $mail->Port = 465; //Port of the SMTP like to be 25, 80, 465 or 587
        $mail->SMTPDebug = 1;
        //$mail->SMTPAuth = false; //Whether to use SMTP authentication
        $mail->Username = "your gmail id"; //Username for SMTP authentication any valid email created in your domain
        $mail->Password = "your password"; //Password for SMTP authentication
        $mail->AddReplyTo("abcd@gmail.com", "Reply name"); //reply-to address
        $mail->SetFrom("your gmail id", "XYZ"); //From address of the mail
        // put your while loop here like below,
        $mail->Subject = "Your SMTP Mail"; //Subject od your mail
        $mail->AddAddress($email, "Asif18"); //To address who will receive this email
        $mail->MsgHTML("<b>Hi, your first SMTP mail has been received."); //Put your body of the message you can place html code here
         //Attach a file here if any or comment this line, 

        $send = $mail->Send(); //Send the mails
        if($send){
            echo '<center><h3 style="color:#009933;">Mail sent successfully</h3></center>';
        }
        else{
            echo '<center><h3 style="color:#FF3300;">Mail error: </h3></center>'.$mail->ErrorInfo;
        }
    }
    ?>
