PHPmailer in CI3? [SOLVED]

Hi, as wirte in slack I have trouble to put PHPMailer in CI3.

This code works, but when I call the controller it don't load the view. Mail sent correctly, but page don't load (blank page).

Controller Home.php:

Code:

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

class Home extends CI_Controller {
   
   function __construct(){
       parent::__construct();
   }
   
public function index()
{
       $this->load->helper('mail');
       if(send_mail('info', '[email protected]', 'Name', 'Object', 'Message <b>bold</b>!'))
       {
           $this->load->view('welcome');
       }

}

Helper mail_helper.php:

Code:

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

if ( ! function_exists('send_mail'))
{
function send_mail($send_from = NULL, $send_to = NULL, $send_name = NULL, $send_subj = NULL, $send_body = NULL)
{
       include(APPPATH . "helpers/mail_helper/Exception.php");
       include(APPPATH . "helpers/mail_helper/PHPMailer.php");
       include(APPPATH . "helpers/mail_helper/SMTP.php");
       use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
       use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
       $smtp_host = 'myhost';
       switch ($send_from) {
           case 'info':
               $smtp_user = 'info_user';
               $smtp_pass ='info_pass';
               break;
           case 'others':
               $smtp_user = '';
               $smtp_pass ='';
               break;
       }
       $send_from = $send_from . '@domain.com';
       $mail = new PHPMailer(true);
       $mail->IsSMTP();
       $mail->SMTPOptions = array(
         'ssl' => array(
         'verify_peer' => false,
         'verify_peer_name' => false,
         'allow_self_signed' => true
        )
       );
       $mail->SMTPAuth   = true;
       $mail->Host       = $smtp_host;
       $mail->Port       = 587;
       $mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
       $mail->Username   = $smtp_user;
       $mail->Password   = $smtp_pass;
       $mail->SMTPDebug  = 0;
       $mail->setFrom($send_from, 'Website Name');
       $mail->addAddress($send_to, $send_name);
       $mail->Subject = $send_subj;
       $mail->Body    = $send_body;
       $mail->IsHTML(true);
       if (!$mail->send()) {
           return true;
       }
       else {
           return false;
       }
}
}

In helpers/mail_helper/ folder there are PHPMailer files included.

If I set $mail->SMTPDebug 1 or 2 instad of 0, page print error: ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED.

What's wrong with this?
Any help for corrections or to put it as library instead of helper will be great.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Use after include. Check the Error Log

Oh, I've wrong here:


if (!$mail->send())
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}

Remove the ! give me the page as it shoud to... Can close this. Thank you.
