How to mail check in codeigniter
To mail a check in CodeIgniter, you can use the PHPMailer library, which is a popular and widely-used library for sending emails. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
Step 1: Install PHPMailer
You can install PHPMailer using Composer by running the following command:
composer require phpmailer/phpmailer
Step 2: Load the PHPMailer library in CodeIgniter
In your CodeIgniter controller, load the PHPMailer library by adding the following line:
$this->load->library('phpmailer');
Step 3: Configure PHPMailer
Configure PHPMailer by setting the following properties:
$this->phpmailer->isSMTP();
$this->phpmailer->Host = 'your_smtp_host';
$this->phpmailer->SMTPAuth = true;
$this->phpmailer->Username = 'your_smtp_username';
$this->phpmailer->Password = 'your_smtp_password';
Replace your_smtp_host
, your_smtp_username
, and your_smtp_password
with your actual SMTP server details.
Step 4: Set the email details
Set the email details, including the sender's email address, recipient's email address, and the subject:
$this->phpmailer->setFrom('[email protected]', 'Sender Name');
$this->phpmailer->addAddress('[email protected]', 'Recipient Name');
$this->phpmailer->Subject = 'Check Payment';
Step 5: Attach the check file
Attach the check file to the email using the addAttachment()
method:
$this->phpmailer->addAttachment('path/to/check.pdf', 'check.pdf');
Replace path/to/check.pdf
with the actual path to the check file.
Step 6: Send the email
Send the email using the send()
method:
if ($this->phpmailer->send()) {
echo 'Email sent successfully!';
} else {
echo 'Error sending email: '. $this->phpmailer->ErrorInfo;
}
That's it! With these steps, you should be able to mail a check in CodeIgniter using PHPMailer.
Here's the complete code example:
<?php
class CheckController extends CI_Controller {
public function send_check() {
$this->load->library('phpmailer');
$this->phpmailer->isSMTP();
$this->phpmailer->Host = 'your_smtp_host';
$this->phpmailer->SMTPAuth = true;
$this->phpmailer->Username = 'your_smtp_username';
$this->phpmailer->Password = 'your_smtp_password';
$this->phpmailer->setFrom('[email protected]', 'Sender Name');
$this->phpmailer->addAddress('[email protected]', 'Recipient Name');
$this->phpmailer->Subject = 'Check Payment';
$this->phpmailer->addAttachment('path/to/check.pdf', 'check.pdf');
if ($this->phpmailer->send()) {
echo 'Email sent successfully!';
} else {
echo 'Error sending email: '. $this->phpmailer->ErrorInfo;
}
}
}
Make sure to replace the placeholders with your actual SMTP server details and check file path.
