Email setting on localhost

[eluser]Musaddiq Khan[/eluser]
AOA,
I want email setting on localhost in codeigniter.
Is there any special code or library for it.

Regards.

From the CI side, you don't need any extra library to send mails, CI has its in-built library for that,,, but, working in local, you need to set up a local email server in order to send emails. It is a little tricky, I guess, but there are several guides in internet, however if you have access to an remote server to make tests would be easier.

I think it can be done by setting these variables located in Email library,
but I don't know how to set.
-------------------------
var $mailpath = "/usr/sbin/sendmail"; // Sendmail path
var $protocol = "mail"; // mail/sendmail/smtp
var $smtp_host = "";
var $smtp_user = "";
var $smtp_pass = "";
var $smtp_port = "25";
var $smtp_timeout = 5;
var $smtp_crypto = "";

Do you mean this file /system/libraries/Email.php ??

1) You should <b>never</b> change any piece of code of any file inside the system folder.

2) They are properties of class CI_Email and they are managed dynamically.

Please, read the email class usage

After you read it and try it for your own, we will be here for further questions

The best way to configure SMTP to work on your localhost is to use your online internet provider settings,
then you can send emails to yourself for testing live!

I have mentioned and shown how to do this lots of times in the forums.

So being as I have Comcast I use my Comcast SMTP email settings.

Most providers will have a section on their website to explain to you how to setup your email.

Then just change those in your php.ini and never worry about it again!

EXAMPLE for Windows 7:

Code:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = smtp.comcast.net
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 587

You can find these also in your current email.
