send html mail using codeigniter

Error in mail content using SMTP in codeigniter Actually, my mail is sent with HTML tags and it is showing the HTML tags which is not correct.

$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
        'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
        'smtp_port' => 465,
        'smtp_user' => '[email protected]',
        'smtp_pass' => '',
        'mailtype'  => 'html', 
        'charset' => 'utf-8',
        'wordwrap' => TRUE

    );
    $this->load->library('email', $config);
    $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
    $email_body ="<div>hello world</div>";
    $this->email->from('[email protected]', 'ddd');

    $list = array('[email protected]');
    $this->email->to($list);
    $this->email->subject('Testing Email');
    $this->email->message($email_body);

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

If am sending mail without using SMTP it works fine. What is my mistake?

PHP code/CodeIgniter :

$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com'; //smtp host name
$config['smtp_port'] = '465'; //smtp port number
$config['smtp_user'] = $from_email;
$config['smtp_pass'] = "password_addhere"; //$from_email password
$config['mailtype'] = "html";
// $config['charset'] = "iso-8859-1";
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
// $config['newline'] = "\r\n"; //use double quotes
// $this->email->initialize($config);
$this->load->library("email", $config);
//send mail
$this->email->from($from_email, 'ABC OWNER');
$this->email->to($to_email);
$this->email->subject($subject);
$this->email->message($this->load->view('mails/contact',$data, true));
$this->email->set_mailtype("html");

return $this->email->send();

To send HTML email you first have to compose your message in a variable and then pass that variable to codeigniter's "$this->email->message()" method, like below,

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

 $message = "
     <html>
       <head>
         <title>your title</title>
       </head>
       <body>
         <p>Hello Sir,</p>
         <p>Your message</p>
       </body>
     </html>";

   $this->email->from('email id', 'name');
   $this->email->to('email id');

   $this->email->subject('email subject');
   $this->email->message($message);

   if ($this->email->send()) {
     print "success";
   } else {
     print "Could not send email, please try again later";
   }

hope it will help.

enjoy!!

Try to manually set the content type header doing this:

$this->email->set_header('Content-Type', 'text/html');

That solve the issue for me.

Use it like this.. it works great for me.

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

$config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';

$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;

$config['mailtype'] = 'html';

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

$this->email->from($fromemail);

$this->email->to($toemail);

$this->email->subject('Subject');

Gmail prevent access of your account. You need some changes on your gmail :-

Step : 1

Some apps and devices use less secure sign-in technology, which makes your account more vulnerable. You can turn off access for these apps, which we recommend, or turn on access if you want to use them despite the risks.

Turn on less secure app

Step : 2

Enable IMAP Status
Enable POP Status

Can you please try with this code, B'z I can able to send HTML email with this code.

$configemail = Array(
        'protocol' => 'smtp',
        'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com', //mail.webconsort.com
        'smtp_port' => 465, //5074

As of CodeIgniter 3.x. There are many features added. This example is almost same with earlier versions, but you can do much more.

Follow the link for documentation.

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

// prepare email
$this->email
    ->from('[email protected]', 'Example Inc.')
    ->to('[email protected]')
    ->subject('Hello from Example Inc.')
    ->message('Hello, We are <strong>Example Inc.</strong>')
    ->set_mailtype('html');

// send email
$this->email->send();

If you have template design. You can also include template in message method like this ...

->message($this->load->view('email_template', $data, true))

Here, the first parameter is email_template.php in your views directory, second parameter the data to be sent to email template, you can set it '' or array() or [] if not passing any dynamic data and last parameter true make sure, you grab the template data instead output.

Hope this is helpful.

You can try this line of code which will set the mail type to be for HTML:

 $this->email->set_mailtype("html");

My issue was that Codeigniter's Global XSS Filtering was encoding some html tags like <html> so the email clients could no longer recognize them.

To get around this, check out my other post.
