phpmailer for codeigniter (ci)

May 19th, 2008 15 comments

on our new server we was getting problem with mail sending. yahoo and some other mail server was not receiving our mails to there inbox. so i imported the most popular php class (phpmailer ) in codeigniter as plugin. it’s install and use is too simple. you have to download the zip file from here, then unzip it to your plugin (systemplugins) folder. then edit phpmailer_pi.php , and edit the default configuration as needed as your mail server (default configuration will work fine with gmail smtp, you only have to edit the user name and pass) .

download:

	   $mail=new PHPMailer();

	/*$mail->IsSMTP();
	$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                  // enable SMTP authentication
