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:

phpmailer for codeigniter

usage:

you can now use all the functions that phpmailer supported. here is a the example that you will get in phpmailer site, but in ci format.

 class Action extends Controller {

	function Action()
	{
		parent::Controller();
	}

   function testMailer()
   {
	   error_reporting(E_ERROR);

	   $this->load->plugin('phpmailer');
	   $mail=new PHPMailer();

	/*$mail->IsSMTP();
	$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                  // enable SMTP authentication
	$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";                 // sets the prefix to the servier
	$mail->Host       = "smtp.gmail.com";      // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
	$mail->Port       = 465;                   // set the SMTP port 

	$mail->Username   = "[email protected]";  // GMAIL username
	$mail->Password   = "xxxxxx";            // GMAIL password
	*/

	$mail->From       = "[email protected]";
	$mail->FromName   = "sender name";
	$mail->Subject    = "This is the subject";
	$mail->Body       = "Hi,This is the HTML BODY";                      //HTML Body
	$mail->AltBody    = "This is the body when user views in plain text format"; //Text Body
	//print_r($mail);
	$mail->WordWrap   = 50; // set word wrap

	$mail->AddAddress("[email protected]");
	$mail->AddReplyTo("[email protected]","sender name");
	$mail->AddAttachment("/path/to/file.zip");             // attachment
	$mail->AddAttachment("/path/to/image.jpg", "new.jpg"); // attachment

	$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML

	if(!$mail->Send()) {
