SMTP connect failed - PHPMailer Error on Localhost in phpmailer - php

Question

I am using phpmailer latest version . I am using the following code :
<?php
require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
//$mail->SMTPDebug = 3; // Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'sultan.ahmed.sagor#gmail.com'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'simplePass'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to
$mail->SMTPDebug=2;
$mail->setFrom('sultan.ahmed.sagor#gmail.com', 'Mailer');
$mail->addAddress('zakir#era.com.bd', 'Joe User'); // Add a recipient
//$mail->addAddress('ellen#example.com'); // Name is optional
//$mail->addReplyTo('info#example.com', 'Information');
//$mail->addCC('cc#example.com');
//$mail->addBCC('bcc#example.com');
//$mail->addAttachment('/var/tmp/file.tar.gz'); // Add attachments
//$mail->addAttachment('/tmp/image.jpg', 'new.jpg'); // Optional name
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent';
}
?>
But when I run this code I am giving the following output :

This should fix your issue:
$mail->AuthType = 'LOGIN';
