I want to send an email from my Gmail account through the website. how do I do that? I've tried every possible way but couldn't get the desired output.
public function mailuser(){
$config = Array(protocol' => 'ssmtp','smtp_host' => 'ssl://ssmtp.gmail.com','smtp_port' => 465,'smtp_user' => 'xxxx#gmail.com','smtp_pass' => 'xxxx','mailtype' => 'html');
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$this->email->from('xxxx#gmail.com', 'Manoj');
$this->email->to('xxxxx#gmail.com');
$this->email->subject('Email Subject');
$this->email->message('Email Message');
if($this->email->send()){
echo 'Success email Sent';
echo $this->email->print_debugger();
}
else{
echo 'Email Failed To Send';
echo $this->email->print_debugger();
}
}
I think you are using wrong parameters in config like ssmtp
protocol' => 'ssmtp','smtp_host' => 'ssl://ssmtp.gmail.com'
Your config array should look like :
$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_user' => 'xxxx#gmail.com',
'smtp_pass' => 'xxx',
'mailtype' => 'html',
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
// Set to, from, message, etc.
$this->email->from('xxxx#gmail.com', 'Manoj');
$this->email->to('xxxxx#gmail.com');
$this->email->subject('Email Subject');
$this->email->message('Email Message');
$result = $this->email->send();
Also verify to enable extension extension=php_openssl.dll in php.ini.
if not please remove ;

Email is not sent by codeigniter.please check and identify the erros.
MY controller code is:
$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_user' => 'bilalshabbir3210#gmail.com', // change it to yours
'smtp_pass' => 'my pasword', // change it to yours
'mailtype' => 'html',
'charset' => 'iso-8859-1',
'wordwrap' => TRUE
);
$message = '<h4>Email comessss</h4>';
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$this->email->from('bilalshabbir3210#gmail.com'); // change it to yours
$this->email->to('bilalshabbir0909#gmail.com');// change it to yours
$this->email->subject('Resume from JobsBuddy for your Job posting');
$this->email->message($message);
if($this->email->send())
{
echo 'Email sent.';
}
else
{
show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}
And error comes:
[]
enter image description here
The error makes it appear that your code cannot contact the SMTP server you've told it to use. A quick google implies that the server should be smtp.gmail.com.
Please use the following settings, this work very well with google
$config = array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_crypto' => 'ssl',
'smtp_timeout' => '30',
'smtp_user' => 'your_mail#gmail.com', // change it to yours
'smtp_pass' => 'your_gmail_password', // change it to yours
'charset' => 'iso-8859-1',
'crlf' => "\r\n",
'newline' => "\r\n",
'mailtype' => 'html',
'wordwrap' => TRUE
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->from('your_mail#gmail.com'); // change it to yours
$list = array('destination_list#gmail.com'); // change it to yours
$this->email->to($list);
$this->email->subject('This is an email test');
$message = '<h4>Email comessss</h4>';
$this->email->message($message);
if($this->email->send())
{
echo 'Email sent.';
} else {
show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}
I cant receive any email but my if statements says that an email was successfully sent, please help, here is my controller
public function index()
{
$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_user' => '****', //email
'smtp_pass' => '****' //password
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$this->email->from('//email', '//name');
$this->email->to('//recipient');
$this->email->subject('This is a test email');
$this->email->message('Hi, This is a test email. Please advise!');
if($this->email->send())
{
echo 'Your email was successfully sent.';
}
else
{
show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}
}
btw i tested it by using localhost/email/index.php/email/index
Your mail sending part is correct. No issues with that.
If you are trying this in local you have to edit you mail setting in php.ini and sendmail.ini.
Or else upload it to live server into new folder name demo(Not root). so you can test it easily.
I am using codeigniter to send email.
function forget_pw() {
$this->load->library('email');
$config['smtp_host'] = 'host address';
$config['smtp_user'] = 'username';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'password';
$this->email->initialize($config);
$this->email->from('admin#email.com', 'Admin');
$this->email->to('test#yahoo.com.hk');
$this->email->subject('Email Test');
$this->email->message('Testing the email class.');
$this->email->send();
echo $this->email->print_debugger();
}
No any error show in console. But the email didn't send out.
You can create a function like this:
public function sendEmail($subject,$message)
{
$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'xxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_user' => 'xxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx',
'smtp_pass' => 'xxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx',
'mailtype' => 'html',
'charset' => 'iso-8859-1',
'wordwrap' => TRUE
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$this->email->from('xxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx');
$this->email->to('xxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx');
$this->email->subject($subject);
$this->email->message($message);
if($this->email->send())
{
echo 'Email send.';
}
else
{
show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}
}
And use it like this $this->sendEmail('Title', 'Message'); Good luck
This is my send email function
public function send_requs_mail()
{
$this->load->library('email');
$config=array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' =>'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_user' => 'xxxxxxx#gmail.com',
'smtp_pass' => 'yyyyyy'
);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$this->email->initialize($config);
$this->email->from($this->input->post('from'), 'iftekhar');
$this->email->to($this->input->post('to'));
$this->email->subject('Email Test');
$this->email->message($this->input->post('message'));
if($this->email->send())
{
echo'your email was sent.';
}
else
{
show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}
}
Now when I press Send button I get successful message I mean I get message "your email was sent" but in email Inbox I didn't get any message.
check if $this->input->post('from') and $this->input->post('to') return valid email addresses, otherwise it will not send the email!
use this $config Array
$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_crypto' => 'ssl',
'smtp_user' => 'your mail',
'smtp_pass' => 'your password',
'mailtype' => 'html',
'charset' => 'iso-8859-1'
);
And to install SSL
First see if there is open-ssl extension in your php.ini file if not then put the below code in the ini file in extension part.
extension=php_openssl.dll
Restart the Apache service.
I used the following code in controller of my contact form.
public function index()
{
$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_user' => 'email#mydomain.com',
'smtp_pass' => 'myPassword',
'mailtype' => 'html',
'charset' => 'iso-8859-1'
);
Can i send the email without using "smtp_user" and "smtp_pass"?
Just use mailprotocol in the config.
See the docs: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/email.html
You can use the default config and send email like:
$this->load->library('email');
$this->email->from('your#example.com', 'Your Name');
$this->email->to('someone#example.com');
$this->email->cc('another#another-example.com');
$this->email->bcc('them#their-example.com');
$this->email->subject('Email Test');
$this->email->message('Testing the email class.');
$this->email->send();
echo $this->email->print_debugger();
