Send Email from localhost to gmail address using php mailer

Question

I am sending email from localhost via gmail using PHP mailer this is my code but the main problem is that when i run the script the doesnot show me any error and i am not receiving any email in gmail id

include("email/class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$body = "This is just a Test Email";

$mail->IsSMTP();

// enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;                  

// sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";

// set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Port = 465;                   

// GMAIL username
$mail->Username = "Mygmail id";

// GMAIL password
$mail->Password   = "password";        
$mail->From       = "Mygmail id";
$mail->FromName   = "My Name";

$mail->Subject    = "Testing Message";

$mail->AltBody    = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible    
email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test
$mail->WordWrap   = 50; // set word wrap

$mail->MsgHTML($body);

$mail->AddAddress("Receiver Gmail Id");

$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML

if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}

And Please dont make my question as duplicate beacause i tried all other answers but not find any solution

It is a duplicate, this is covered extensively in the docs, you're using an old version of PHPMailer and have failed to use the gmail example provided with it. Generally it doesn't look like you're trying very hard. — Synchro

Means i have to include that code in my file $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; and change the port to 587 and $mail->Server = 'smtp.gmail.com';

This is correct, but it only says what the PHPMailer docs say too, so it's not as if this is news!
