How to send mail using CodeIgniter.

Send E-mail using codeIgniter.

Sending email is not only simple, but you can configure it on the fly or set your preferences in a config file. CodeIgniter's Email Class supports the following features:

• Multiple Protocols: 
• Mail, Sendmail, and SMTP Multiple recipients 
• CC and BCCs 
• HTML or Plaintext email 
• Attachments 
• Word wrapping 
• Priorities 
• BCC Batch Mode, enabling large email lists to be broken into small BCC batches. 
• Email Debugging tools

Here is a basic example demonstrating how you might send HTML email.
So let's start with controller.

Controller Name : email.php

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

class Email extends CI_Controller {
 
 function __construct(){

  parent::__construct();
  //load the  library
  $this->load->library('email');
 }

 function send_mail(){
 
  $this->email->from('mohitj475@gmail.com', 'Mohit');
  $this->email->to('mohitj475@gmail.com');
  
  $this->email->subject('mail send demonstration');
  $this->email->message('this is testing');
  
  $this->email->send();
  
  echo $this->email->print_debugger();
 }
}

If you run above code then you will get output like this

Explanation : In controller's constructor method first we load email library so we can use library function.After that we created send_mail function in to we use library function.
