PHPmailer godaddy -> google business

Question

Hello Rendy and everyone else. I was building a new website on godaddy and I was just polishing the final details, thus I decided it was the right time to set up PHPmailer as I learned in the PHP videos (it worked that time).

The problem is that even though I have been googleing all around and trying different tutorials and StackOverflow answers I cannot seem to make it work.

the addres I'm working with is my google business account which domain is hosted by godaddy.

I have tried sending it through google smtp server as well as godaddy relay server, actually I have so many different configurations now that I don't know all the combinations I tried.

I'll copy my code here in case anyone can help me!!!

<?php 
    if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
         $name = trim($_POST["name"]);
         $email = trim($_POST["email"]);
         $message = trim($_POST["message"]);


     if ($name == "" OR $email == "" OR $message == "") {
         echo "You must specify a value for name, email address, and message.";
      exit;
     }

     foreach( $_POST as $value ){
     if( stripos($value,'Content-Type:') !== FALSE ){
       echo "There was a problem with the information you entered.";    
        exit;
      }
    }

    if ($_POST["address"] != "") {
        echo "Your form submission has an error.";
        exit;
     }

     require_once("includes/class.phpmailer.php");
     $mail = new PHPMailer();


      if (!$mail->ValidateAddress($email)){
      echo "You must specify a valid email address.";
      exit;
     }

     $email_body = "";
     $email_body = $email_body . "Name: " . $name . "<br>";
     $email_body = $email_body . "Email: " . $email . "<br>";
     $email_body = $email_body . "Message: " . $message;


     $mail = new PHPMailer();
     $mail->IsSMTP();
     $mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
     $mail->SMTPAuth = true;
     $mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";

     $mail->Port = "465";

     $mail->Username   = "contact@mydomainatgodaddy.com";  // GMAIL username
     $mail->Password   = "password";            // GMAIL password






     $mail->AddReplyTo($email, $name); // Adds a “Reply-to” address. Un-comment this to      use it.
     $mail->From = $email;
     $mail->FromName = $name;
     $mail->AddAddress($email, $name);

     $mail->Subject = "Pedido de relxingtissues";
     $mail->Body = $email_body;

     if ($mail->Send() == false){
     echo "The email message has NOT been sent for some reason. Please try again later.";
     echo "Mailer error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
      }
    ?>
