To send an email using a template in CodeIgniter, you can follow these steps:
- Make sure you have configured the email settings in the config file. Open application/config/email.php and set up the necessary parameters like SMTP host, username, password, etc.
- Create a new controller method or modify an existing one to send the email. For example, let's create a new method called send_email in a controller called EmailController.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 |
public function send_email()
{
$this->load->library('email');
// Set the email parameters
$this->email->from('[email protected]', 'Your Name');
$this->email->to('[email protected]');
$this->email->subject('Email Subject');
// Set the email template
$email_template = $this->load->view('email/template', '', TRUE); // Load the template file
$this->email->message($email_template); // Set the template as the email message
// Send the email
if ($this->email->send()) {
echo 'Email sent successfully.';
} else {
echo 'Error sending email: ' . $this->email->print_debugger();
}
}

- Create an email template view file. In the example above, we're using a template file called 'email/template'. Create a new view file called template.php in the application/views/email/ directory (you can change the directory as per your preference) with the required HTML structure and placeholders.
Here's an example of the template.php file:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
<html>
<head>
<title>Email Template</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, {{recipient_name}}!</h1>
<p>This is a sample email template.</p>
<p>Thank you for using our service.</p>
</body>
</html>
|
In the template file, you can use placeholders like {{recipient_name}} that will be replaced dynamically with data when sending the email.
- Customize the email content and template placeholders as per your requirements.
- Finally, access the send_email method in your browser or through a route to send the email.
Note: Make sure you have set the correct email configuration in the config file and you have loaded the email library before sending the email.
