How do i send an array in an email message (CodeIgniter) - php

Question

I was wondering how to send an array within an email message. I'm using pre tags to format it in the webpage. But im not able to send any data in the email. Here is the controller that im using:
<?php
class Notification extends CI_Controller {
public function index()
{
$this->db->select('product_name,project_code');
$this->db->from('user');
$this->db->like('product_name', 'Test');
$array = $this->db->get()->result();
$size = count($array);
echo 'The number of test are: ';
echo $size;
echo ' ';
echo "<pre>";
print_r($array);
echo "</pre>";
$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_user' => 'Email',
'smtp_pass' => 'Password',
'mailtype' => 'text',
'charset' => 'iso-8859-1'
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
// Set to, from, message, etc.
$this->email->from('sender', 'Name');
$this->email->to('reciever');
$this->email->subject(' Test Updates');
$this->email->message($array);
$result = $this->email->send();
}
}
?>
I want to send the array $array in the email which is formatted similar to the pre tags.
[Note: I've edited out the email details. Other email functions work as expected]

Answer 1

I don't think the message method takes an array as a parameter. Try
$this->email->message(print_r($array, true));

Just as an alternative option for you, or anyone else reading this thread.
You can also create a view file for the email, passing the array as data.
In your controller:
$data['my_array'] = $array;
$this->email->message($this->load->view('my_email', $data, TRUE));
In your my_email.php view:
<pre><?php print_r($my_array);?></pre>

Answer 3

Has you defined the email receiver ? like you#gmail.com
For sure what the problem matter you can use
echo $this->email->print_debugger();
