[eluser]thephpx[/eluser]
my index() in controller welcome.php :

$this->load->library(‘email’);
$config[‘protocol’] = ‘sendmail’;
$this->email->initialize($config);
$this->email->from(‘[email protected]’, ‘thephpx’);
$this->email->to(‘[email protected]’);
$this->email->subject(‘Email Test’);
$this->email->message(‘Testing the email class.’);
$this->email->send();
echo $this->email->print_debugger();

um... i think it is because your server might not be configured to send mail using this method. ;-)

try mail or smtp methods as suggested in the documentation.

Do you find the solution of this problem? I m having the same issue.

Well, it was working a few days back, with no error. PHP inof shows that send mail path is correct and all other things also fine. what am i missing here?

Try this:

Code:

$this->load->library('email');
$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'localhost';
$config['validate'] = 'TRUE';
$this->email->initialize($config);
$this->email->from('[email protected]', 'Your Name');
$this->email->to([email protected]);
$this->email->subject('Subject');
$message = 'The message';
$this->email->message($message);
$this->email->send();

tnx for reply.i dont know whats my problem was now its works fine in sendmail and smtp maybe because of my server

[eluser]Zorancho[/eluser]
it could be the server, my function is in MY_Controller.php class:

Code:

function send_email($from, $to, $from_name, $subject, $message, $attachment = NULL)
{
    $this->load->library('email');
    $config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
    $config['smtp_host'] = 'localhost';
    $config['validate'] = 'TRUE';
    $this->email->initialize($config);
    $this->email->from($from, $from_name);
    $this->email->to($to);
    $this->email->subject($subject);
    $this->email->message($message);
    if($attachment != NULL)
    {
        $this->email->attach($attachment);
    }
    if($this->email->send())
    {
        return TRUE;
    }
    return FALSE;
}

and it worked almost on every server i have been using.
