Error using Email Class

[eluser]brandobandido[/eluser]
Hi CI Masters,

I need your enlightenment here as I'm stumbled again to another CI issue that I can't seem to resolve since last night.

Ok here's the situation. I created a method that's under the Functions library that uses the email class functionality. Below's my code.

Code:

/**
     * Send email function
     *
     * @param array $data
     */

    function sendEmail($data = array())
    {
        $CI =& get_instance();
        $CI->email->from($data['email_from'], $data['email_from_name']);
        $CI->email->to($data['email_to']); // To user
        $CI->email->subject($data['email_subject']);
        $CI->email->message($data['email_message']);
        $CI->email->send();
        // Show the message for debugging
        echo $CI->email->print_debugger();
    }

And in my controller, I called it this way

Code:

$send_email_array = array(
                        'email_from' => '[email protected]',
                        'email_from_name' => 'Test site',
                        'email_to'  => '[email protected]',
                        'email_subject' => 'Subject',
                        'email_message' => 'Message here'
                    );
                    $this->functions->sendEmail($send_email_array);

The Functions library was already auto loaded but when I execute it I get this error

Code:

Fatal error: Call to a member function from() on a non-object in /path/site/system/applications/backend/libraries/Functions.php on line 160

I really don't understand why $CI =& get_instance() is not anymore an object.

Your help would be greatly appreciated as always!

It seems you are not loading the email library. Are you auto loading it?

If you are using a Library then you should intialize the CI Super global object like this!

Code:

class Library_name {

    private $CI;

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();

        // to access in code use $this->CI
        $this->CI =& get_instance();
    }

}

Hi InsiteFX,

I tried it but still I get the same error. This is really damn because my code worked on some of my controllers.

As Atharva, mentioned above make sure that you are loading the Email Class Library!

Code:

class Library_name {

    private $CI;

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();

        // to access in code use $this->CI
        $this->CI =& get_instance();

        $this->CI->load->library('email');
    }

}

I already auto loaded the library as you can see here!

Code:

$autoload['libraries'] = array('template', 'database', 'session', 'email', 'functions', 'form_validation', 'site_settings', 'pagination', 'table', 'texts');

[eluser]InsiteFX[/eluser]
For one you should have your send email in a library not a function!

Code:

// You do not need to assign array here!
// try this!
function sendEmail($data)
