Codeigniter how to html template for emails - codeigniter

Question

I'm using below code to send email from my codeigniter based website's contact form, to do that i'm using below codes in my controller,
$entrydata['name']= $this->input->post('name');
$entrydata['email']= $this->input->post('email');
$entrydata['phone']= $this->input->post('phone');
$entrydata['message']= $this->input->post('message');$msg = 'Email has sent successfully';
$data['reset'] = TRUE;
$this->load->library('email');
$this->email->from(set_value('email'), set_value('name'));
$this->email->to('my#webs.com');
$this->email->subject("Get a quote enquiry");
$all = 'Name:' . set_value('name') ."\n". 'Email :' .' '. set_value('email') ."\n".'Phone :' .' '. set_value('phone') ."\n".'Message :' .' '. set_value('message'); $this->email->message($all);
$s=$this->email->send();
$data['message'] = $msg;
Did anyone know how to add custom email template that'll hold my conact form informations?

Answer 1

This is an example which i have done
$data['map_to']=$this->input->post('map_to');
$event=$this->db->query("query");
if($event->num_rows()>0)
{
$data['event']=$event->row();
$data['map_from']=$event->row()->address2;
}
else
{
$data['event']=NULL;
}
$data['sender_mail'] = 'xx#xx.org';
$this->load->library('email');
$config = array (
'mailtype' => 'html',
'charset' => 'utf-8',
'priority' => '1'
);
$this->email->initialize($config);
$this->email->from($data['sender_mail'], 'xxxx');
$this->email->to($mail);
$this->email->subject('Map Location');
$message=$this->load->view('map_mail_format',$data,TRUE);
$this->email->message($message);
$this->email->send();
Here i am loading a view page called map_mail_format and passing values to that view page ($data) then assign that view page to a variable then send mail with that message

Answer 2

first you need to initialize config as
$config['charset'] = 'utf-8';
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
$this->email->initialize($config);
after you load email library and then you can store your email view to a variable and mail it
$mailbody = $this->load->view('myfile', $data, true);

Answer 3

You may try this
$this->load->helper(array('email'));
$this->load->library(array('email'));
$this->email->set_mailtype("html");
