Sending Emails with Codeigniter Framework

Codeigniter supported inbuilt Email library class which simplify the email sending process. To send email we need to do some configuration , need to load email library.codeigniter supports Multiple Protocols, Mail, Sendmail, and SMTP, Multiple recipients, CC and BCCs,HTML or Plain text email, Attachments ,Word wrapping and many more.


Lets start with Codeigniter email  configurations. Here I have used gmail as smtp server.

 $this->load->library('email');

// Email configuration 
$config = Array(

    'protocol' => 'smtp',
    'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
    'smtp_port' => 465,
    'smtp_user' => 'senders_email_address',
    'smtp_pass' => '********',   //Password of senders email
    'mailtype'  => 'html', 
    'charset'   => 'iso-8859-1'
);

 Now, we can send the email with above configurations.

 $this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

$this->email->from('senders_email', 'name_of_the_sender');
$this->email->to('reciever's_mail_address'); 
$this->email->cc(''); 
$this->email->bcc(''); 

 $this->email->subject('subject_of_the_mail');
$this->email->message('message_body');
$this->email->send();

Checking whether a folder exists with the given name and if exists deleting it with its sub folders. if(file_exists($path)){        $path = rtrim($path, '/') . '/'; $items = glob($path . '*'); foreach($items as $item)                { ...
