I am trying to send an email to customers with html form.
here is the controller file.
$email = 'jc2332#gmail.com';
$title = 'Introducing our new product!';
$msg = $this->load->view('admin/email_new_version', '', true);
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->from('cs#example.com', 'company');
$this->email->to($email);
$this->email->subject($title);
$this->email->message($msg);
$this->email->send();
It looks fine for me, but html doesn't work when I receive the mail.
Try to use this configuration and try to initialize the email library in a separated command:
$this->load->library('email');
$config['charset'] = 'utf-8';
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
$this->email->initialize($config);
This should work!
The code looks fine. What do you mean when you say "html doesn't work when I receive the mail"? What kind of environment do you host it on?
Let's try simple debugging:
1) Check if the template is being loaded:
echo $this->load->view('admin/email_new_version', '', true);
die();
2) Validate your HTML.
3) Try setting different values in crlf, newline and charset preferences.
go system/libraries/email.php
check $mailtype vairable value
set $mailtype='html'
I think main area to focus on is whether or not you are using a local setup like wamp/lamp or any other local server installation where you are using a regular adsl connection with your ports not serving outside your lan.
You need to host your project in a hosting provider or open your ports to be able to serve to internet (the latter is not recommended without taking security precautions and also without having a mail server running this should not work) in order for email->send() function to work properly

I want to edit my mail and change everything, if I want, as shown here.
Ive imported my file and created a test route to view the page:
use Illuminate\Mail\Markdown;
Route::get('/mail/html', function () {
$markdown = new Markdown(view(), config('mail.markdown'));
return $markdown->render('vendor.mail.html.message'); // or ..markdown.message
});
However, Im having variable errors for #slot. How to view my change/see what the mail looks like before sending? Another package for that?
Thanks
To preview your email in browser please add below code to route
Route::get('preview-notification', function () {
$markdown = new \Illuminate\Mail\Markdown(view(), config('mail.markdown'));
$data = "Your data to be use in blade file";
return $markdown->render("path-of-your-templete-blade-file", $data]);
});
and you will be access your templete using
http://your-application-url/preview-notification
This is the recommended way by the Laravel community
kunal has a nice quick solution and that's how I used to do it. But now I use mailtrap.io to test emails because it allows you to replicate the whole process of sending an email.
Create a (free) account with mailtrap.io.
Add your mailtrap username and password in .env file.
By the way, Laravel is already configured to use mailtrap by default, so it is their recommended way to test emails.
Watch how Jeffrey Ways does it in his lesson:
Laravel 5.4 From Scratch: Sending Email
https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-from-scratch-2017/episodes/26
If you want to test in locally. You can put echo command in blade file at end and put die; this way you can test.Suppose you have test-email.blade.php
test-email.blade.php // file name
This is tets mail
<?php echo "test"; die; ?>
Hope it helps!
I currently have a contact form on my website which sends off an email notification upon submission. It is working perfectly on my end and even when I send it externally to friends as a test they are receiving it.
My client however, who is in France, can't seem to receive this email at all and I have no idea why. Is there anything I need to do to ensure that they receive it? I thought it was something on their end but they're absolutely adamant that it's not and that it's a problem with my code. I have tried different email addresses for them with different domains and still no luck!
$this->load->library('parser');
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
$config['charset'] = 'utf-8';
$this->load->library('email');
$data = array(
'first_name' => $this->input->post('first_name'),
'last_name' => $this->input->post('last_name'),
'email' => $this->input->post('email'),
'phone' => $this->input->post('phone'),
'message' => $this->input->post('message')
);
$body = $this->parser->parse('html_email', $data, true);
$this->email->from('test#test.com', 'Duparc');
$this->email->to('test#test.com');
$this->email->subject('Test Email');
$this->email->message($body);
$this->email->send();
In my opinion the problem does not originate from CodeIgniter. Assuming the mail did not went into a spam box, your customer's provider is probably dismissing your message for some other reason. One reason I can immediately think of is that you are probably trying to send a message from a domain (e.g. test.com) you're not allowed from. My advise is starting to try sending an email with another tool to your french customer (any sendmail or postfix client tool) and to see if he do receive it.
If that succeeds, then the problem probably comes from your forged email (therefore try using a valid domain name). Sometimes removing it completely will work too (it might then be replaced by the external IP).
If not, then the problem comes from your web server's config. I had this problem using postfix where I had to explicitly set the "General Options" > "What domain to use in outbound mail" configuration option to my domain name in order to be accepted by a capricious server which silently dismissed our mail.
If nothing is working, you might also use another mail server which might luckily fix the issue. Here is the code I used to force CodeIgniter using sendmail instead:
$config['protocol'] = 'sendmail';
$config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
$this->email->initialize($config);
I have a CI site with several form using jquery .click function, when I was in http its worked well, when I change to https all the form click button cannot be fire, its happen in localhost and in web host as well, is that anything need to config to run CI in https?
please advise and thanks!
Solved:
I just remove the url from $config['base_url'], and now the issue is solved, but I wonder how come when running https couldn't set value on $config['base_url']? hope someone would clear my doubt.
Thanks guy for taking time to view my question.
Set your base_url protocol independent:
$config['base_domain'] = 'yourdomain.com'; // a new config item if you need to get your domain name
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']))
{
$protocol = ($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443 ? 'https://' : 'http://');
$config['base_url'] = $protocol.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$config['base_url'] .= str_replace(basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']),"",$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
}
else
{
$config['base_url'] = '';
}
I am guessing your ajax request fails because you are trying to access no-secure content from a secure site.
I had a similar issue. I simply changed the base URL from HTTP to HTTPS in the config file and it worked well for both protocols.
# Base URL in codeigniter with HTTP
$config['base_url'] = 'http://mysite.abc/';
# Base URL in codeigniter with HTTPS
$config['base_url'] = 'https://mysite.abc/';
Remember, when you change HTTP to HTTPS, the site should work well for both protocols but it doesn't work the other way around.
Im developing an app with CodeIgniter, mainly for learning purposes.
Im currently addressing the issue of security in my app and one thing I read about is using SSL.
I tried to figure out what I have to do in order to use SSL in my app. Since I'll have a small number of users I thought about using SSL on all of my sites.
In another question for SSL in CI I found this:
$config['base_url'] = "https://www.yoursite.com/";
Is this all I have to configure to use SSL? Do I have to buy a certificate somewhere? Are there any prerequisites for my server?
Thanks in advance for your help!
SSL is related to your server. Not to your server side scripting software, i.e. php.
So, you should be looking for ssl for your server software.
Now, you have two options:
If you run in a local intranet, you could use software like xampp which by default provides https functionality for apache through self signed ssl certificate.
If you are using a hosting account, you should get a signed ssl certificate.
And ofcourse the setting in codeigniter, which you specified must be set to actually make use of the https.
You will need an SSL certificate for this yeah. Most current servers can handle these just fine, although your server needs an personal IP-address for this.
Open config file from location application/config/config.php and enable or set hooks to true like this:
$config['enable_hooks'] = TRUE;
Then create a new file named hooks.php inside the config folder (i.e. application/config/hooks.php) and add the following code in it:
$hook['post_controller_constructor'][] = array(
'function' => 'redirect_ssl',
'filename' => 'ssl.php',
'filepath' => 'hooks'
);
**Now create a new directory named hooks inside the application folder (i.e. application/hooks) and then create a new file named ssl.php inside the hooks folder (i.e. application/hooks/ssl.php).
Add the following code in the ssl.php file:**
function redirect_ssl() {
$CI =& get_instance();
$class = $CI->router->fetch_class();
$exclude = array('client'); // add more controller name to exclude ssl.
if(!in_array($class,$exclude)) {
// redirecting to ssl.
$CI->config->config['base_url'] = str_replace('http://', 'https://', $CI->config->config['base_url']);
if ($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] != 443) redirect($CI->uri->uri_string());
} else {
// redirecting with no ssl.
$CI->config->config['base_url'] = str_replace('https://', 'http://', $CI->config->config['base_url']);
if ($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443) redirect($CI->uri->uri_string());
}
}
I have a website based on Codeigniter which works fine. I had to clone this site with database to an another host. I copied the database and all files. My problem is: the session doesn't work on the new site. (I recognized it at the login). The same code works on the old host, but everything is exactly the same.
Does somebody have any idea? Is it a codeigniter configuration issue?
Thanks
Check your application/config.php
especially these lines:
$config['cookie_prefix'] = "";
$config['cookie_domain'] = "";
$config['cookie_path'] = "/";
$config['cookie_secure'] = FALSE;
Also: please delete your cookie-history
(if you're using Firefox: CTRL-SHIFT-DELETE)
Alternatively you could use (shameless self-plug) codeigniter-native-session
I too had a bit to much problems with the built-in session engine.
It basically mimics the Codeigniter session class so just drop in these files into your application folder and code doesn't needs any modification. (and you'll be using PHP-native-sessions)
Hope it helps.
