sending mail with Email library

[eluser]enCODer[/eluser]
Hello,

I have a problem of sending email using the CI email class. The debugger shows this:

Unable to send email using PHP mail(). Your server might not be configured to send mail using this method.

From: "newsletter"
Return-Path:
Reply-To: "[email protected]"
X-Sender: [email protected]
X-Mailer: CodeIgniter
X-Priority: 3 (Normal)
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
=?utf-8?Q?Email_Test?=
Testing the email class.

However, I have tried to send email using a simple mail function: mail('[email protected]','TEST','Testing 123'); and I do get an email in seconds. I do not know what is wrong here? Do you have some ideas?

Yes, I have an idea :-) Do you use sendmail? If yes, then simply do not use it :-)

I think you are talking about function in CI helper, however, my code looks like this:

Code:

$this->load->library('email');
        $this->email->from('[email protected]', 'newsletter');
        $this->email->to('[email protected]');

        $this->email->subject('Email Test');
        $this->email->message('Testing the email class.');
       // mail('[email protected]','TEST','Testing 123');
        $this->email->send();
        echo $this->email->print_debugger();

No, no, no :-) This is not a function. Sendmail is a protocol(as I remember). CI can use sendmail, SMTP and native php mail way to send your emails.

Here is the complete code for solving your problem:

Code:

$config['protocol']='mail';
$this->load->library('email');
$this->email->initialize($config);
$this->email->from('[email protected]', 'newsletter');
$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();

Please, test this and then tell me about your results.

Oh... That was my mistake about that function name. I am quite new to this framework, so I thought you were talking about send_mail() function.

However, I have tried your option and still did not get email to the inbox. After that, as you showed me the cause of problem, I looked through CI documentation and I tried another 'sendmail' protocol which you had introduced earlier. You will not believe, but now it works with this one.

Thank you for your time and quick responses.

I'm feeling great, when I hear such responses for me :-) You can freely ask me about anything you want!
