Using contact form, send email with PHPMailer

Question

I am trying to send an email through a contact form with PHPMailer. I have looked at tutorials, because I have never used PHPMailer before. This is what I have come up with, But It does not send the email?

<?php
require_once 'mail/PHPMailerAutoload.php'; // this will include smtp and pop files.
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    $email_to = "jacksonhogan01@gmail.com";

    // validation expected data exists
    if(!isset($_POST['name']) ||!isset($_POST['address']) ||!isset($_POST['subject']) ||!isset($_POST['message'])){
        died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');
    }

    $name = $_POST['name']; // required
    $address = $_POST['address']; // required
    $subject = $_POST['subject']; // required
    $message = $_POST['message']; // required

    $email_message = "\n\n";
    $email_message .= "Name: ".$name."\n";
    $email_message .= "Email: ".$address."\n";
    $email_message .= "Subject: ".$subject."\n";
    $email_message .= "Message: ".$message."\n";

    $mail = new PHPMailer();
    $mail->isSendmail();
    $mail->setFrom($address, $name);
    $mail->addAddress($email_to, 'GramsandPops');
    $mail->Subject = $subject;

    if (!$mail->send()) { //send the message, check for errors
        echo "Mailer Error: " . died($error);
    } else {
        header('Location: contact.php?result=success');
    }
}
?>

<div id="contact" class="container">
    <div class="contactheader">
        <p>Contact</p>
    </div>
    <form class="form-horizontal"
        style="padding-right: 50px; padding-left: 50px; padding-top: 20px;"
        action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        <div class="form-group">
            <label class="control-label col-sm-2">Name:</label>
            <div class="col-sm-10">
                <input type="text" class="form-control" name="name"
                    placeholder="Name...">
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="form-group">
            <label class="control-label col-sm-2">Email:</label>
            <div class="col-sm-10">
                <input type="email" class="form-control" name="address"
                    placeholder="Email..">
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="form-group">
            <label class="control-label col-sm-2">Subject:</label>
            <div class="col-sm-10">
                <input type="text" class="form-control" name="subject"
                    placeholder="Subject..">
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="form-group">
            <label class="control-label col-sm-2">Message:</label>

            <div class="col-sm-10">
                <textarea class="form-control" cols="40" id="message"
                    name="message" rows="10" placeholder="Message.."></textarea>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="form-group">
            <div class="col-sm-10" style="text-align: center;">
                <button style="width: 100px" type="submit" name="submit"
                    id="submit" class="btn btn-default">Send!</button>
            </div>
        </div>
    </form>
</div>

I have the correct file path for the PHPMailerAutoload.php I'm not sure what could be causing this. Thanks for any help.

Are you on windows? If so there is no inherent mail server and so you will need to set up a relay to make it work. — Paul Coldrey, Feb 06 '18 at 04:28
You're writing new code using an old version, never a good idea. It's also extremely unlikely you really want to use `isSendmail()`. Base your code on [the contact form example provided with PHPMailer](https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/blob/master/examples/contactform.phps). — Synchro, Feb 06 '18 at 08:06
