How to send mail using CodeIgniter and smtp

Send mail using codeIgniter and smtp

Sending email is not only simple, but you can configure it on the fly or set your preferences in a config file.In the past, I have used the email helper extensively in combination with sendmail, however for a new project I was required to route e-mail through a third-party SMTP server, in this case Gmail. I used the following code:

 function sendMail()
 {
     $config = Array(
    'protocol' => 'smtp',
    'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
    'smtp_port' => 465,
    'smtp_user' => 'xxx@gmail.com', // change it to yours
    'smtp_pass' => 'xxx', // change it to yours
    'mailtype' => 'html',
    'charset' => 'iso-8859-1',
    'wordwrap' => TRUE
  );

       $message = '';
       $this->load->library('email', $config);
       $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");  
       $this->email->from('xxx@gmail.com'); // change it to yours
       $this->email->to('xxx@gmail.com');// change it to yours
       $this->email->subject('CodeIgniter and smtp');
       $this->email->message('send mail using CodeIgniter and smtp');
     if($this->email->send())
     {
       echo 'Email sent.';
     }
     else
     {
      show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
     }

 }
