Sending emails with CodeIgniter in a local XAMPP server
- by KeyStroke
Hi,
I'm trying to send emails through localhost (XAMPP Windows 1.7.3 installation), but I've been trying for hours with no success.
This is the last code I tried:
$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_user' => '[email protected]',
'smtp_pass' => 'mypassword',
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$this->email->from('[email protected]', 'My Name');
$this->email->to('[email protected]');
$this->email->subject('Email Test');
$this->email->message('Testing the email class.');
if($this->email->send())
{
echo 'Your email was sent.';
}
else
{
show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}
Whenever I tried to load this the page shows that it's loading but nothing happens. Is there anything I need to setup in my server to insure email delivery?
I messed with php.ini and sendmail's config a bit with no luck. And openSSL isn't available in case that matters.
Any idea what's wrong?
