Quick Email config File

I created a config file for email, based off the information found on the website. To save anyone the trouble hope it helps...

Only took a few min... but I decided to share.

Code:

<?php  if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

thank you for this

Hi Can you help me a little bit and tell me how it works?

Greetings

[eluser]taggedzi[/eluser]
Sorry for the late reply, I never notice there was a question here.

This is "a" config file to hold all of your email settings. Simply save it in your config folder

Code:

"/system/application/config/email.php"

Then change the settings in the file to match your mail server configuration, then call the email class as ussual...

The best summary I can point you to is CI's own page... http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...email.html

There are other ways to do this... and all the information in this file is on that page... i just typed it into a config file.

Hi..

I follow and set the setting as showed above.But,still i can not send email through this codeigniter.

Below shows the error message that i had encountered.

Severity: Warning

Message: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set()

Filename: libraries/Email.php

Line Number: 1519

If i am not mistaken,the space for smtp just leave it blank right?
Does anyone know how to send the email correctly?

Thank You

If your server (in this case localhost) is not set up for sending mail yet then you will need to provide a SMTP. A lot of people just use google.

Here is a link that should get you started. Using Google as SMTP

Just add google's SMTP host and port to the CI email configuration file provided above and change protocol to 'smtp'. You will need a valid google email address and password for this to work.
