Not sure why, but playing with some rough code for a callback from a form to send an email. Simple and easy enough... however the email arrives twice!!! any idea folks?
Code:
function send_email($email)
{
$this->db->select('id, email');
$query = $this->db->get_where('users', array('email'=>$email), 1, 0);
if ($query->num_rows != 1) {
$this->validation->set_message('send_email', 'Email Address is not registered here, sorry!!!');
return FALSE;
} else {
$row = $query->row();
$this->load->library('email');
$this->email->from('[email protected]', 'Email Admin');
$this->email->to($row->email);
$this->email->subject('Reset Your Password');
$this->email->message('Testing the email class. numrows='.$query->num_rows.' emailaddy='.$row->email.' end');
if ($this->email->send())
{
return TRUE;
}
else
{
$this->validation->set_message('send_email', 'Email could not be sent!!!');
return FALSE;
}
}

I am also having this issue... No resolution to speak of.

I did not diagnose the "why", but I did discover the "what".
basically -- the send() was being fired twice -- once at the controller layer, and once at the view layer. Even though I didn't have any views being loaded, the application was still loading a default view and firing the send() call at that time as well.
by putting a die() at the end of this function, I resolved my problem. I realize that's pretty hackalicious but for me, this particular function is not ever part of the view cycle anyway, it's a weekly automated message routine.
if that solution doesn't work for you, perhaps taking the mail functions out of the controller layer or diagnosing further is always an option, too.
