I know this is a common question. But I tried a lot to solve, still I couldn't figure out the reason for this error.
Actually this is the first error of set of errors. My controller function is as follows:
public function index(){
$config['useragent'] = 'CodeIgniter';
$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';
$config['smtp_user'] = 'author@example.org';// Your gmail id
$config['smtp_pass'] = '********';// Your gmail Password
$config['smtp_port'] = 465;
$config['smtp_crypto'] = "ssl";
$config['smtp_timeout'] = 30;
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
$config['wrapchars'] = 76;
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
$config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';
$config['validate'] = FALSE;
$config['priority'] = 3;
$config['newline'] = "\r\n";
$config['crlf'] = "\r\n";
$this->email->initialize($config);
$this->email->from('author@example.org', 'authorname'); //your gmail id & your name
$this->email->to('recipient@example.org'); //receipient's email
$this->email->subject('Email Test');
$this->email->message('Testing the email class.');
$res = $this->email->send();
if($res)
{
echo '<script>alert("You Have Successfully sent the mail!");</script>';
}
else{
$this->session->set_userdata("message","Email Not Sent!");
}
}
I have modified my php.ini file according to some tutorials as follows:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = ssl://smtp.googlemail.com
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 465
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
sendmail_from ="admin@wampserver.invalid"
I'm using PHP 5.6.25 with WAMP server. One additional information - my email library has following code:
class CI_Email {
var $useragent = "CodeIgniter";
var $mailpath = "/usr/sbin/sendmail"; // Sendmail path
but actually there is no such file in the above mentioned path. I don't know whether this is the problem.
Please HELP me!!
