Cannot send mail with no from header. in codeigniter
A common issue!
In CodeIgniter, when sending an email using the email
library, you need to specify a from
header in the email configuration or in the email message itself. This is because many email servers and services require a valid from
address to ensure that the email is not spam.
Here are a few ways to fix this issue:
Method 1: Specify the from
header in the email configuration
In your config/email.php
file, add the following line:
$config['from'] = '[email protected]';
This will set the default from
address for all emails sent using the email
library.
Method 2: Specify the from
header in the email message
When sending an email using the email
library, you can specify the from
header as an array of values:
$this->email->from('[email protected]', 'Your Name');
This will set the from
address and name for the specific email message.
Method 3: Use a default from
address in the email library
You can also set a default from
address in the email
library itself. In your application/libraries/Email.php
file, add the following code:
public function from($email, $name = '')
{
$this->_from = array($email => $name);
return $this;
}
Then, when sending an email, you can use the from
method without specifying the from
address:
$this->email->from();
This will use the default from
address set in the Email
library.
By specifying a valid from
header, you should be able to send emails successfully using the email
library in CodeIgniter.
