send post form data through email class - El Forum - 05-26-2012
[eluser]swgj19[/eluser]
Codeigniter version 2.0.
Hosting: Godaddy.com
I am working on a login/register script with a password retieval function. Currently I am on the part of the user entering their email in the form. When they hit submit, the controller email.php kicks in to send an email to the user. Now I am able to send a normal email by using a regular email address. However, when I try to pass in the posted data in a variable (the users email address) an email is not sent with no errors.
does not work
Code:
$this->email->to("$email");Code:
$this->email->to("[email protected]");If someone has the time, please let me know where I am missing it. Thanks.
Code:
<?php
//Sends email with gmail
class Email extends CI_Controller
{
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
function index(){
$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_user' => '[email protected]',
'smtp_pass' => '********',
'charset' => "utf-8",
'mailtype' => "html",
'newline' => "\r\n"
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->form_validation->set_rules('email_address', 'Email', 'trim|required');
$email = $this->input->get_post('email_address');
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n"); /* for some reason it is needed */
$this->email->from('[email protected]', 'Aditya Lesmana Test');
$this->email->to("$email");
$this->email->subject('This is an email test');
$this->email->message('it is working Darling');
if($this->email->send())
{
echo 'Your email was sent';
}
else
{
show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}
}
}Also,here is the controller that calls the email controller above.
Code:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Retrieve extends CI_Controller {
function index()
{
$data['main_content'] = 'forgot_password'; //create new key 'main_content, which turns into a variable, pass in view you want to load
$this->load->view('includes/template', $data);
}
function retrieve_password()
{
$this->load->model('membership_model'); //load membership model
$query = $this->membership_model->retrieve(); //call method
if($query) // if the user's credentials validated... //if user's credentials are validated...
{
$data = array( //then create new data equal to array
'username' => $this->input->post('username'),
//add value to session
); //is_logged_in is function in site controller
$this->load->view('send_password_link');
// Email retrieve password link to users posted email
//$this->load->library('email');
redirect('email'); //redirect to email controller
}
else // incorrect username or password
{
$this->index();
//load index.php if login was not correct or nothing returned from db
}
}

Try it this way, it should take a list or an array.
Code:
$this->email->to($email);send post form data through email class - El Forum - 05-26-2012

Same result. However, I did a var_dump($email). The result I get is bool(false). For some reason nothing is stored in the string from the post data it seems.

Can you show your form for it?

[eluser]swgj19[/eluser]
Code:
<h3>Forgot Your Password!</h3>
<fieldset>
<legend>Enter your email. Then press submit and follow the link in your email to get a new password.</legend>
<?php
echo form_open('retrieve/retrieve_password');
echo form_input('email_address', set_value('email_address', 'Email Address'));
echo form_submit('submit', 'Send');
?>
<?php echo validation_errors('<p class="error">'); ?>
</fieldset>send post form data through email class - El Forum - 05-26-2012

Your missing the form_close
Code:
<?php echo form_open('retrieve/retrieve_password');?>
<h3>Forgot Your Password!</h3>
<fieldset>
<legend>Enter your email. Then press submit and follow the link in your email to get a new password.</legend>
<?php
echo form_input('email_address', set_value('email_address', 'Email Address'));
echo form_submit('submit', 'Send');
?>
</fieldset>
<?php echo validation_errors('<p class="error">'); ?>
<?php echo form_close();?>Also I just noticed you are getting the email in the index but the form is posting to your retrive_password method.
Code:
private $email;
// in your retrive_password get the email address
$this->email = $this->input->post(your_email);
// then do this
$this->email->to($this->email);send post form data through email class - El Forum - 05-26-2012

Just a minute and I'll write real quick!
You need to get the input email address in the retrive_password method.
Then it will need to be passed to the other controller.
I would just use one controller to do it all Steve...
