无法使用phpmailer发送邮件

Question

can someone help me to find what is wrong with the following code that i used to send mail in php.

error_reporting(E_STRICT);
date_default_timezone_set('asia/kolkata');
require_once('class.phpmailer.php');
$mail = new PHPMailer(); 
$mail->IsSMTP(); 
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; 
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; 
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465; 
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Username = "[e-mail]";
$mail->Password = "mypassword";
$mail->From = ("[e-mail]");
$mail->SetFrom("manikandan");
$mail->Subject = "Test";
$mail->Body = "hello";
$mail->AddAddress("[e-mail]");
 if(!$mail->Send())
    {
    echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
    }
    else
    {
    echo "Message has been sent";
    }

?>

i am getting the following error:- 2015-01-05 04:32:10 Invalid address: manikandan i am using php 5.2.2 ,Apache 2.0 Handler in windows.

setFrom expects an email address as the first parameter. Try:

$mail->setFrom('[e-mail]');

If you also want to set a proper name, use the second parameter

$mail->setFrom('[e-mail]', 'John Smith');

http://phpmailer.github.io/PHPMailer/classes/PHPMailer.html#method_setFrom

Also, I think you should be using the autoloader instead of including the PHPMailer class directly.
