Step 2: Controller method to send mails
Path : /application/controllers/sendmails.php
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Sendmails extends CI_Controller {
public function htmlmail(){
$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'sendmail',
'smtp_host' => 'your domain SMTP host',
'smtp_port' => 25,
'smtp_user' => 'SMTP Username',
'smtp_pass' => 'SMTP Password',
'smtp_timeout' => '4',
'mailtype' => 'html',
'charset' => 'iso-8859-1'
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$this->email->from('your mail id', 'Anil Labs');
$data = array(
'userName'=> 'Anil Kumar Panigrahi'
);
$this->email->to($userEmail); // replace it with receiver mail id
$this->email->subject($subject); // replace it with relevant subject
$body = $this->load->view('emails/anillabs.php',$data,TRUE);
$this->email->message($body);
$this->email->send();
}
}
class Sendmails extends CI_Controller {
public function htmlmail(){
$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'sendmail',
'smtp_host' => 'your domain SMTP host',
'smtp_port' => 25,
'smtp_user' => 'SMTP Username',
'smtp_pass' => 'SMTP Password',
'smtp_timeout' => '4',
'mailtype' => 'html',
'charset' => 'iso-8859-1'
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$this->email->from('your mail id', 'Anil Labs');
$data = array(
'userName'=> 'Anil Kumar Panigrahi'
);
$this->email->to($userEmail); // replace it with receiver mail id
$this->email->subject($subject); // replace it with relevant subject
$body = $this->load->view('emails/anillabs.php',$data,TRUE);
$this->email->message($body);
$this->email->send();
}
}
Just replace your username , password and mail-ids and use it as HTML templates for sending mails in Codeigniter
Step 3: Call the controller method in as per your requirement.
http://[domain name]/Sendmails/htmlmail
not working dude
$config = Array(
‘protocol’ => ‘smtp’,
‘smtp_host’ => ‘yourstmphostname’,
‘smtp_port’ => stmpport,
‘smtp_user’ => ‘[email protected]’,
‘smtp_pass’ => ‘youremailpassword’,
‘mailtype’ => ‘html’,
‘charset’ => ‘iso-8859-1’,
‘wordwrap’ => TRUE
);
$email = $this->input->post(’email’);
$subject = “Hi, “.$this->input->post(‘name’).”. Your Booking Is Success! – “;
$message = ”
Booking ID
: “.$bid.”
Name
: “.$this->input->post(‘name’).”
Mobile
: “.$this->input->post(‘mobile’).”
Date
: “.$this->input->post(‘date’).”
Service
: “.$this->input->post(‘service’).”
Message
: “.$this->input->post(‘message’).”

$this->load->library(’email’, $config);
$this->email->set_newline(“\r\n”);
$this->email->from(‘[email protected]’);
$this->email->to($email);
// $this->email->cc(‘[email protected]’);
// $this->email->bcc(‘[email protected]’);
$this->email->subject($subject);
$this->email->message($message);
//$this->email->attach(‘C:\Users\xyz\Desktop\images\abc.png’);
if($this->email->send())
{
echo ‘Email send.’;
}
else
{
show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}

Hi,
I am trying to send emails from codeigniter. Now i want to send mail such that the from adress woulb be fetched from view file and i will use the same in controller. I would be getting email and name from the view file. I want to set these details (from->name and replyto-> email) in controller. Although CI is providing set_headers, i am not able to do this. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Why are you including SMTP values, when the protocol you’re using is sendmail?
I have used SMTP details while running the application in Godaddy.
