Hey ! Great series, very clear and useful.

But when I try to send the e-mail, I get the following error :

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at “localhost” port 25, verify your “SMTP” and “smtp_port” setting in php.ini or use ini_set()

Filename: libraries/Email.php

Line Number: 1519

I tried to use the mail protocol (instead of ssl) and also tried to modify the smtp info in the php.ini file, but it doesn’t change anything. I just don’t understand. Has anyone any idea ? Could it be because I am at the office and can’t do everything I want on my computer ? I guess not, because I have full rights on my wamp folder and I can of course send e-mail, but there may be something I miss…

Thanks

I was finally able to download the source files. It didn’t work when I first logged into the member’s area and then navigated to this page.

It did work when I navigated to this page and then logged on via the input boxes on this page and then hit the ‘back’ button on my browser.

In what is probably an unrelated issue, half the time I reload this page, I get no css.

Great tut as usual! Unfortunately, the ‘get the source code’ link is broken. If it matters, I am a premium member and am currently signed in.

I watched the first video in this series way before I understood MVC at all. It was a little advanced for me then, but now it’s perfect! Understanding frameworks has to be one of the most useful things I have ever learned. I spent all of yesterday trying to send HTML emails by hand when this thing does all the work for me!

Ok i’ve got my answer in my config/email.php you have to specify :

$config['charset'] = ‘iso-8859-1′;

if you want to send an html mail with code igniter

Hi, i try to send an email with Code Igniter.

With plain/text it’s works (with smtp protocol like your screecast).

But when i set: $config['mailtype'] = ‘html’; in my config/email.php file it’s doesn’t works… Any ideas ?

Thank you for this great tutorials
