Hi,

No need to put the email file anywhere its already included with codeigniter, infact ignore them fiels you downloaded probably not the best example :red:

In fact just do this in one of your controllers:

Code:
$this->load->library('email');

$this->email->from('[email protected]', 'Your Name');
$this->email->to('[email protected]');
$this->email->cc('[email protected]');
$this->email->bcc('[email protected]');

echo $this->email->print_debugger();

To configure your localhost
1) Open the “php.ini“. You should know where it is located because it depends upon the particular server you’re running.

2) Search for the attribute called “SMTP” in the php.ini file.Generally you can find the line “SMTP=localhost“. change the localhost to the smtp server name of your ISP. And, there is another attribute called “smtp_port” which should be set to 25.I’ve set the following values in my php.ini file.

SMTP = smtp.wlink.com.np
smtp_port = 25

3) Restart the apache server so that PHP modules and attributes will be reloaded.

4) Now try to send the mail using codeigniter

I like to use the phpmailer library in my applications, makes things very flexible as it supports multiple emailing methods. It's also pretty straight forward and easy to use. Take a look at https://code.google.com/a/apache-extras....phpmailer/ for more info.
