Closed 5 years ago.
I'm trying to send an email with an codeigniter contact us form but its not sending the email.
Yes I know this question has been asked before but I just want to know if I don't have any wrong code.
This is my controller file (Contactform.php) :
<?php error_reporting(-1);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
set_error_handler("var_dump");
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
?>
<?php
class Contactform extends CI_Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->helper(array('form','url'));
$this->load->library(array('session', 'form_validation', 'email'));
}
function index()
{
//set validation rules
//$this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'Name', 'trim|required|xss_clean|callback_alpha_space_only');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'Email ID', 'trim|required|valid_email');
//$this->form_validation->set_rules('subject', 'Subject', 'trim|required|xss_clean');
//$this->form_validation->set_rules('message', 'Message', 'trim|required|xss_clean');
//run validation on form input
if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)
{
//validation fails
$this->load->view('contact_form_view');
}
else
{
//get the form data
$name = $this->input->post('name');
$from_email = $this->input->post('email');
$subject = $this->input->post('subject');
$message = $this->input->post('message');
//zet to_email naar welk email je het contact form naar wilt laten sturen
$to_email = 'ferran1004#gmail.com';
//configure email settings
$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com';
$config['smtp_port'] = '465';
$config['smtp_user'] = 'ferra#gmail.com';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'tom10';
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
$config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
$config['newline'] = "\r\n"; //use double quotes
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->initialize($config);
//send mail
$this->email->from($from_email, $name);
$this->email->to($to_email);
$this->email->subject($subject);
$this->email->message($message);
if ($this->email->send())
{
// mail sent
$this->session->set_flashdata('msg','<div class="alert alert-success text-center">Your mail has been sent successfully!</div>');
redirect('contactform/index');
}
else
{
//error
$this->session->set_flashdata('msg','<div class="alert alert-danger text-center">There is error in sending mail! Please try again later</div>');
redirect('contactform/index');
}
}
}
//custom validation function to accept only alphabets and space input
function alpha_space_only($str)
{
if (!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z ]+$/",$str))
{
$this->form_validation->set_message('alpha_space_only', 'The %s field must contain only alphabets and space');
return FALSE;
}
else
{
return TRUE;
}
}
}
?>
And this is my view form file (contact_form_view.php):
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3 well">
<?php $attributes = array("class" => "form-horizontal", "name" => "Contactform");
echo form_open("Contactform/index", $attributes);?>
<fieldset>
<legend>Contact Form</legend>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-12">
<label for="name" class="control-label">Name</label>
</div>
<div class="col-md-12">
<input class="form-control" name="name" placeholder="Your Full Name" type="text" value="<?php echo set_value('name'); ?>" />
<span class="text-danger"><?php echo form_error('name'); ?></span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-12">
<label for="email" class="control-label">Email ID</label>
</div>
<div class="col-md-12">
<input class="form-control" name="email" placeholder="Your Email ID" type="text" value="<?php echo set_value('email'); ?>" />
<span class="text-danger"><?php echo form_error('email'); ?></span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-12">
<label for="subject" class="control-label">Subject</label>
</div>
<div class="col-md-12">
<input class="form-control" name="subject" placeholder="Your Subject" type="text" value="<?php echo set_value('subject'); ?>" />
<span class="text-danger"><?php echo form_error('subject'); ?></span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-12">
<label for="message" class="control-label">Message</label>
</div>
<div class="col-md-12">
<textarea class="form-control" name="message" rows="4" placeholder="Your Message"><?php echo set_value('message'); ?></textarea>
<span class="text-danger"><?php echo form_error('message'); ?></span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-12">
<input name="submit" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Send" />
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
<?php echo form_close(); ?>
<?php echo $this->session->flashdata('msg'); ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
This is my email.php in my config folder: (I don't know if I need this file because I have the same code in my controller)
<?php
$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com'; //change this
$config['smtp_port'] = '465';
$config['smtp_user'] = 'xxxxxxxx#gmail.com';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'xxxxxxxx';
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
$config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
$config['newline'] = "\r\n"; //use double quotes to comply with RFC 822 standard
?>

Answer 1

you add email.php in config folder
<?php
$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com'; //change this
$config['smtp_port'] = '465';
$config['smtp_user'] = 'xxxxxxxx#gmail.com';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'xxxxxxxx';
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
$config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
$config['newline'] = "\r\n"; //use double quotes to comply with RFC 822 standard
?>
then auto load config and library in autoload.php
$autoload['libraries'] = array('email');
$autoload['config'] = array('email');
and you send mail using this
$to_email = 'ferran1004#gmail.com';
$message = "email message";
$this->email->from('noreply#gmail.com','Admin');
$this->email->to($to_email);
$this->email->subject($subject);
$this->email->message($message);
if ($this->email->send() == TRUE)
{
log_message('debug', 'Email Send SuccessFully>>>>>>>>>>>');
}
else
{
log_message('debug', 'Email Not Send>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>');
}
