How to send email in CodeIgniter without using SMTP for website?

Answer 1

yes you can use codeIgniter simple mail function.
Example:-
public function send_mail() {
$from_email = "your#example.com";
$to_email = $this->input->post('email');
//Load email library
$this->load->library('email');
$this->email->from($from_email, 'Your Name');
$this->email->to($to_email);
$this->email->subject('Email Test');
$this->email->message('Testing the email class.');
//Send mail
if($this->email->send())
$this->session->set_flashdata("email_sent","Email sent successfully.");
else
$this->session->set_flashdata("email_sent","Error in sending Email.");
$this->load->view('email_form');
}

parent::__construct();
/* Model */
}
public function index()
{
$this->load->view('header', array("title" => "Inquiry"));
$this->load->view('your_view',$view);
$this->load->view('footer');
}
function inviteStaff()
{
$this->load->library('email');
$from_email = $_POST['email'];
$to_email = "your#email.com";
$body='이름 : '.$_POST['name'].'<br /><br />email : '.$_POST['email'].'<br /><br />contents : '.$_POST['contents'].'';
$this->email->from($from_email, $_POST['name']);
$this->email->to($to_email);
$this->email->set_mailtype("html");
$this->email->subject('TITLE');
$this->email->message($body);
$this->email->send();
}
function emailCheck()
{
$user_id = base64_decode($_POST['user_id']);
$email = $_POST['check_mail'];
$where = array('user_emailId' => $email,'user_id!=' => $user_id);
$view = $this->mdl_file->sel_where('user_details',$where);
echo count($view);
