    $mail->Host = 'smtp.mandrillapp.com';  // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true;                               // Enable SMTP authentication
    $mail->Username = '[email protected]';                 // SMTP username
    $mail->Password = 'password';                           // SMTP password
    $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';                            // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
    $mail->Port = 587;
    $mail->setFrom('email', 'email');
    $mail->addAddress('[email protected]', 'name');     // Add a recipient
    $mail->isHTML(true);                                  // Set email format to HTML
    $mail->Subject = $name;
    $mail->Body    = 'hi';
    if (isset($_FILES['fileToUpload']) &&
        $_FILES['fileToUpload']['error'] == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {

In your php.ini file, verify that the following is set:

memory_limit = 40M
post_max_size = 40M
upload_max_filesize = 40M
file_uploads = On
