Seems your mailing server refusing connection, perhaps the subject port is closed on you server that you tried to connect from. – Valentin Rusk
my Colleges Firewall might be the reason working fine from my dongle sorry for wasting your time should have checked it from my dongle before – AAB
Great. It just happens too often due to not standard port usage. These are true to be closed if not used. – Valentin Rusk

$mail->Host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";

remove the ssl://

$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";

Just using this works for me:

 $mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for GMail
 $mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";

Try getting rid of the ssl://

try with adding only,

$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';

Also check PHP is using openSSL extension, you can check this in php.ini file and search extension=php_openssl.dll

<?php
var_dump( extension_loaded( 'openssl' ) );
?>

I was connected to my College Network before.I guess the college firewall had something to do with errors.

Using Dongle to access net its working fine now.
