Getting trouble with SMTP connect with PHPMailer - php

Question

I am trying to send SMTP secured mail with attachment using PHPMailer.
I made this function with PHPMailer library
public function sendCsv($subject,$body,$path,$mail_to,$from_name,$from_mail,$replyto){
require getcwd() .'/lib/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
//$mail->SMTPDebug = 3; // Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'tester#mydomain.com';
$mail->Password = '**************';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->setFrom($from_mail, $from_name);
$mail->addAddress($mail_to);
$mail->addReplyTo($replyto, 'no reply');
$mail->addAttachment($path);
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $body;
//$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
if(!$mail->Send()) {
$error = 'Mail error: '.$mail->ErrorInfo;
echo $error;
} else {
$sucess = 'Mail sent!';
echo $sucess;
}
}
Now if I comment the line $mail->isSMTP(); it's working fine . but I think it's not SMTP secured. Else I am getting this message: "Mail error: SMTP connect() failed. "
I searched for this problem but didn't get the proper answer to what I am looking for. Please help me.
I am working in a dev server with HTACCESS protection

Well I have found the details to fix the issue here https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting .
I have just Turned on less secure apps https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps from my gmail account.
This takes few minutes or an hour to active.
My current code :
public function sendCsv($subject,$body,$path,$mail_to,$from_name,$from_mail,$replyto){
require getcwd() .'/lib/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
//$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->Username = 'mymail#gmail.com';
$mail->Password = 'mypass';
$mail->setFrom($from_mail, $from_name);
$mail->addAddress($mail_to);
$mail->addReplyTo($replyto, 'no reply');
$mail->addAttachment($path);
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $body;
//$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
if(!$mail->Send()) {
$error = 'Mail error: '.$mail->ErrorInfo;
echo $error;
} else {
$sucess = 'Mail sent!';
echo $sucess;
}
}
Else you have to Setup a app from console.developers.google.com
