I am having difficulty using phpmailer. I get connection errors. The most recent error is:

Connection: opening to smtp.gmail.com:587, t=300, opt=array ()

Can someone tell me what is wrong?

are your seetings like the following?

function smtpmailer($to, $from, $from_name, $subject, $body) {
global $error;
$mail = new PHPMailer();  // create a new object
$mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0;  // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;  // authentication enabled
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for GMail
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->Username = GUSER;  
$mail->Password = GPWD;          
$mail->SetFrom($from, $from_name);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $body;
$mail->AddAddress($to);
if(!$mail->Send()) {
$error = 'Mail error: '.$mail->ErrorInfo;
return false;
} else {
$error = 'Message sent!';
return true;
}

some hosting services (godaddy) block the standad port required for this
