{
    $config['protocol']    = 'smtp';
    $config['smtp_host']    = 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com';
    $config['smtp_port']    = '465';
    $config['smtp_timeout'] = '7';
    $config['smtp_user']    = '[email protected]';
    $config['smtp_pass']    = '*******';
    $config['charset']    = 'utf-8';
    $config['newline']    = "\r\n";
    $config['mailtype'] = 'text'; // or html
    $config['validation'] = TRUE; // bool whether to validate email or not      

    $this->email->initialize($config);


    $this->email->from('[email protected]', 'myname');
    $this->email->to('[email protected]'); 

    $this->email->subject('Email Test');
    $this->email->message('Testing the email class.');

     $this->load->view('email_view');

   }

I dont want to use phpmailer now. (Actually i have tried to use phpmailer,but i falied )

I had problems with this initially and got around it by loading the parameters into an array, then initialising the library using the array.

$config = Array(
    'protocol' => 'smtp',
    'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
    'smtp_port' => 465,
    'smtp_user' => 'xxx',
    'smtp_pass' => 'xxx',
    'mailtype'  => 'html', 
    'charset'   => 'iso-8859-1'
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

// Set to, from, message, etc.
        
$result = $this->email->send();

It worked!!!
Thank u very much

That solved the issue for me too

Does this mean using config/email.php is deprecated?

I was using $this->load->library(‘email’);
and removing config/email.php and adding the $config array directly to the controller and using $this->load->library(‘email’, $config); Worked

hy bapjon,

I had problems with this initially and got around it by loading the parameters into an array, then initialising the library using the array.

$config = Array(
    'protocol' => 'smtp',
    'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
    'smtp_port' => 465,
    'smtp_user' => 'xxx',
    'smtp_pass' => 'xxx',
    'mailtype'  => 'html', 
    'charset'   => 'iso-8859-1'
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

// Set to, from, message, etc.
        
$result = $this->email->send();

Worked great!  Tks!

Thanks it worked for me!!......and with a little tweak….i figured out how to use custom FROM email mail address rather than your primary gmail address,which you just used to get Authorize with gmail…

Any other FROM email address should be Added into your gmail account,which can be done by going to google account settings and add a new account,just add your account in it…and use that VERIFIED email address…in your script!!....Cheers!!... 😊

Hi im a beginner and still a little bit stuck….

My Code

<?php

class Email extends Controller
{
function Email()
{
parent::Controller();
$this->load->library('email');
}

function index(){
// Collect data


// Config Server
$config_array = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_user' => 'xxx',
'smtp_pass' => 'xxx',
'mailtype' => 'html',
'charset' => 'iso-8859-1'
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");


$this->email->from('xxx');
$this->email->to('xxx');

$this->email->subject('Website Contact Message');

$this->email->message('Hello World');

$this->email->send();
echo $this->email->print_debugger();
}

}
?>

i am getting this response

You did not specify a SMTP hostname.
Unable to send email using PHP SMTP. Your server might not be configured to send mail using this method.

Thank you for information.

I had problems with this initially and got around it by loading the parameters into an array, then initialising the library using the array.

$config = Array(
    'protocol' => 'smtp',
    'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
    'smtp_port' => 465,
    'smtp_user' => 'xxx',
    'smtp_pass' => 'xxx',
    'mailtype'  => 'html', 
    'charset'   => 'iso-8859-1'
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

// Set to, from, message, etc.
        
$result = $this->email->send();

This helped me 2 ! ... 😊 ... Now there is a totally different error I’ll analyze know ... 😊

Just REMOVING THE FILE “email.php” (or renaming it) in the config folder in CodeIgniter MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.

EDIT:
AND !!! ... then I had to install sendmail (Linux/debian: sudo apt-get install sendmail) because PHP - efter correcting the above error - still came up with “Unable to send email using PHP mail()” ...  - Now I’ve received the send mail. It works. 😊

The solution works without ssl. - My method in a controller looks like this (works!):

public function dummymail()
 {
  
  $config = array(
      'protocol' => 'smtp',
      'smtp_host' => 'mail.provider.net',
      'smtp_port' => 25,
      'smtp_user' => 'WRITE_YOUR_EMAIL_HERE',
      'smtp_pass' => 'WRITE_YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE',
      'charset' => 'utf-8',
      'mailtype' => 'html'
      );
  $this->load->library('email',$config);
  
  $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
  
  $this->email->from('WRITE_YOUR_EMAIL_HERE', 'Your name');
  $this->email->to('WRITE_RECIPIENT_EMAIL_HERE');

  $this->email->subject('Email Test');
  $this->email->message('Testing at home the email class of CodeIgniter.');

  if($this->email->send()) {
   echo 'Your email was sent.';
  } else {
   show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
  }
 }

Later I’ll see if I can get it to work with ssl.
