codeigniter email error: "Undefined index: Subject Filename: libraries/Email.php Line Number: 969"

I cannot work out why I'm getting the error when attempting to send an email:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined index: Subject

Filename: libraries/Email.php

Line Number: 969

Code:

if($query = $this->member_contact->client_email($client_id)){
                        $client_email = $query['Username'];
                    }
                    if($query2 = $this->member_contact->customer_email($customer_id)){
                        $customer_email = $query2['Username'];
                    }

                    //SEND EMAIL
                    if($customer_email !== NULL && $client_email !== NULL){
                        $this->load->library('email');
                        $config = Array();
                        $config['mailtype'] = "html";
                        
                        $to = $client_email;
                        $name = 'NAME TEST HERE';
                        $email = $customer_email;
                        $message = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet";        
                        
                        $this->email->initialize($config);
                        $this->email->from($email, $name);
                        $this->email->to($to);
                        
                        $this->email->subject('SUBJECT TEST');
                        $this->email->message($message);

                        $this->email->send();

                    }

And where did you place this code in a controller library etc?

Yes its a in the controller folder. Is it a bug because I've read other posts with this error and no one has a solution?

Well I just tried it using SMTP on my system with CI 2.1.0 and it worked fine!

Code:

public function send_emails()
{
    $this->load->library('email');

    $config['protocol']        = 'smtp';
    $config['smtp_host']       = 'smtp_host';
    $config['smtp_user']       = 'user_name';
    $config['smtp_pass']       = 'your_pass';
    $config['smtp_port']       = 25;
    $config['smtp_timeout']    = 5;

    $config['charset']  = 'utf-8';
    $config['crlf']     = "\r\n";
    $config['newline']  = "\r\n";
    $config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;

    $this->email->initialize($config);

    $this->email->from('you@your_domain.com', 'your_name');
    $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();
}

No errors at all sending SMTP like this...

Make sure you set the crlf and newline!

And here was my response

Code:

Thanks for the help. It was many problems rolled into one. The first one being that it doesnt work on port 25 for some reason. Luckily my host had an alternative port I could use. This is what worked for me:

Code:

function send_email($customer_email, $client_email, $comment_string){
  //SEND EMAIL
  if($customer_email !== NULL && $client_email !== NULL){

   $message = "<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet<br /> ".$comment_string."</p>";

   $config = Array(
    'protocol' => 'smtp',
    'smtp_host' => 'smtp.strato.com',
    'smtp_port' => 587,
    'smtp_user' => 'my email username',
    'smtp_pass' => 'MY EMAIL PASSWORD',
    'mailtype'  => 'html',
    'charset'   => 'utf-8'
   );
   $this->load->library('email', $config);
   $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

   $this->email->from('my email username', 'NAME TEST');
   $this->email->to($client_email);

   $this->email->subject('SUBJECT HERE');
   $this->email->message($message);

   if ($this->email->send()) {
    return true;
   }else {
    show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
   }
  }
}
