$this->email->send() returns nothing

Here I can read that there's no need to initialize something

Setting Email Preferences in a Config File

If you prefer not to set preferences using the above method, you can instead put them into a config file. Simply create a new file called the email.php, add the $config array in that file. Then save the file at config/email.php and it will be used automatically. You will NOT need to use the $this->email->initialize() function if you save your preferences in a config file.

Looking at the email library function send(), I agree it should return only true or false. I wonder if your server or php version is not converting that to numeric 1/0 or text '1'/'0'.

Conditional, check for exact boolean, numeric or text output types

Code:

if( $this->email->send() === null )
{
die('send null');
}
if( $this->email->send() === true )
{
die('send true');
}
if( $this->email->send() === false )
{
die('send false');
}
if( $this->email->send() === 1 )
{
die('send one');
}
if( $this->email->send() === 0 )
{
die('send zero');
}
if( $this->email->send() === '1' )
{
die('send string one');
}
if( $this->email->send() === '0' )
{
die('send string zero');
}

Also, search the forum for sending email through gmail. I think you need to use SSL, like:

Code:

$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';

I'm pretty sure there's a bug with that that hasn't been fixed and also with doing $this->load->library('email', $config). Try manually initializing it like I suggested. It definitely wouldn't hurt anything...

I've added ssl to the smtp_host, $config['smtp_timeout'] = 5 and $this->email->initialize();
before $this->email->send(). The request never ends, it's still loading... I'm sure that the smtp server is perfectly working.

Finally the "answer": Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded in...

This is how I solved

Code:

$config['crlf'] = "\r\n";
$config['newline'] = "\r\n";
