mail() is broken inside codeigniter?

About the password hash, thanks for clarifying. I don't think I recommend ever storing a password in plain text in the database, even for a moment, I think you might want to rethink some programming structure. If you're worried about having a few functions running the same code to hash a password, they just create one function that updates a password, and call it instead of running that sql to store the plain text version first. That's just my recommendation.

However, that's off topic, sorry for the tangent. As for the mail returning false, I'm not sure why that is, but maybe try using the email library again, but use an SMTP server instead of the native mail function. After that, I think I'm out of suggestions.
