EMAIL CLASS Cannot send email

Hi,

I am stumped. I am trying to send an email with the email class with no success. I have tried both SMTP and SENDMAIL and I know I am doing SOMETHING wrong but I don't know what.

My code is this:

PHP Code:

public function emailtest(){
 date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
 
 $this->load->library('email');
 
 
 //Now the code to send the email
 $config['protocol'] = 'sendmail';
 $config['mailpath'] = '/usr/lib/sendmail -t -i';
 $config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';
 $config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
 $config["smtp_host"] = "localhost";
 $config["smtp_user"] = "[email protected]";
 $config["smtp_pass"] = "somepass";
 $config["smtp_port"] = 587;
 $config["mailtype"] = "text";
 $config["crlf"] = "\n";
 $config["newline"] = "\n";
 $this->email->initialize($config); 
 
 $this->email->from("[email protected]";
 $this->email->to('[email protected]');
 
 //$emailText = "This is a test";
 
 $this->email->subject("test");
 $emailText = "This is the text of an email";
 $this->email->message($emailText);
 $this->email->send();
 
 ini_set("smtp_port", 587);
 mail("[email protected]","This is a test", "This is the message", "From: [email protected]");
 
 echo "<h1>The email was sent</h1>";
 } 


Now, the email class doesn't work. However, the standard mail() call seems to work perfectly. Any idea what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Your smtp needs to be setuo in your php.ini file, I use my comcast account for this.

As far as sendmail it also has to be setup.

Here is an application for Windows that will test your mail settings for you.
