Question

I was trying sent email using PHP CodeIgniter framework. after i uploaded that file into my browser it didn't show me any error. it said:"Your email was sent successfully". But i didn't get any email in my email account. I could not figure out what was the problem. I am using CodeIgniter version 2.1.3. can anyone please help me. I am new in PHP. Thank You.
Here is my code:
<?php
class Email extends CI_Controller
{
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
function index()
{
$this->load->library('email');
$this->email->from('hasib32#gmail.com', 'Hasan Hasibul');
$this->email->to('riar32#gmail.com');
$this->email->subject('email test');
$this->email->message('testing the email class. email sent');
if($this->email->send()){
echo"Your email was sent successfully";
}else
{
show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}
}
}

You can try this:
$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_user' => '...#gmail.com',
'smtp_pass' => '....',
'mailtype' => 'html',
'charset' => 'utf-8',
'wordwrap' => TRUE
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$email_setting = array('mailtype'=>'html');
$this->email->initialize($email_setting);
$email_body ="<div>hello world</div>";
$this->email->from('...#gmail.com', 'shahriar');
$list = array('...#gmail.com');
$this->email->to($list);
$this->email->subject('Testing Email');
$this->email->message($email_body);
$this->email->send();
echo $this->email->print_debugger();
}
this works for me. happy coding :)

Its because you don't have mail server setup in your localhost. You can either setup it or you can use your gmail account to send your mail like this-
$config = Array(
‘protocol’ => ‘smtp’,
‘smtp_host’ => ‘ssl://smtp.googlemail.com’,
‘smtp_port’ => 465,
‘smtp_user’ => ‘myusername#gmail.com’,
‘smtp_pass’ => ‘mypassword’,
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->from('hasib32#gmail.com', 'Hasan Hasibul');
$this->email->to('riar32#gmail.com');
$this->email->subject('email test');
$this->email->message('testing the email class. email sent');
if($this->email->send()){
echo"Your email was sent successfully";
} else {
show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}

Check e-mail server in the mail queue. probably waiting.
