How to intrigate smtp mail in codeigniter
To integrate SMTP mail in CodeIgniter, you can use the built-in email
library that comes with CodeIgniter. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Configure the email library
In your CodeIgniter application, navigate to the application/config/email.php
file and update the following settings:
<?php
$config['smtp_host'] = 'your_smtp_host';
$config['smtp_user'] = 'your_smtp_username';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'your_smtp_password';
$config['smtp_port'] = 587; // or 25, 465, etc.
Replace your_smtp_host
, your_smtp_username
, your_smtp_password
, and smtp_port
with your actual SMTP server settings.
Step 2: Load the email library
In your controller, load the email library using the following code:
<?php
$this->load->library('email');
Step 3: Set the email settings
Set the email settings using the following code:
<?php
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$this->email->set_mailtype("html");
The first line sets the newline character to \r\n
, which is required for some SMTP servers. The second line sets the email type to HTML.
Step 4: Set the email sender and recipient
Set the email sender and recipient using the following code:
<?php
$this->email->from('your_email_address', 'Your Name');
$this->email->to('recipient_email_address');
Replace your_email_address
, Your Name
, and recipient_email_address
with your actual email address, name, and recipient's email address.
Step 5: Set the email subject and message
Set the email subject and message using the following code:
<?php
$this->email->subject('Your Email Subject');
$this->email->message('Your Email Message');
Replace Your Email Subject
and Your Email Message
with your actual email subject and message.
Step 6: Send the email
Send the email using the following code:
<?php
$this->email->send();
If the email is sent successfully, you should see a success message. If there's an error, you can check the error message using the following code:
<?php
echo $this->email->print_debugger();
That's it! You should now be able to send emails using the SMTP server configured in your CodeIgniter application.
Here's the complete code example:
<?php
class MyController extends CI_Controller {
public function send_email() {
$this->load->library('email');
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$this->email->set_mailtype("html");
$this->email->from('your_email_address', 'Your Name');
$this->email->to('recipient_email_address');
$this->email->subject('Your Email Subject');
$this->email->message('Your Email Message');
$this->email->send();
echo $this->email->print_debugger();
}
}
Remember to replace the placeholders with your actual email settings and recipient information.
