Controller code
<?php
class SendEmail extends Controller
{
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->library('email'); // load the library
}
function index()
{
$this->sendEmail();
}
public function sendEmail()
{
// Email configuration
$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'smtp.gmail.com.',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_user' => 'xxxx', // change it to yours
'smtp_pass' => 'xxxx', // change it to yours
'mailtype' => 'html',
'charset' => 'iso-8859-1',
'wordwrap' => TRUE
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->from('xxxx', "Admin Team");
$this->email->to("xxxx");
$this->email->cc("xxxx");
$this->email->subject("This is test subject line");
$this->email->message("Mail sent test message...");
$data['message'] = "Sorry Unable to send email...";
if ($this->email->send()) {
$data['message'] = "Mail sent...";
}
// forward to index page
$this->load->view('index', $data);
