                $mail->SMTPAuth = true;// enable SMTP authentication
                $mail->Host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com"; // sets the SMTP server

                if (!$mail->Send()) {
                    echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;

Answer 2

Try putting the full path in $ci->email->attach();

On windows this would like something like

$ci->email->attach('d:/www/website/test/myfile.pdf');

This method has worked well for me in the past.

Answer 3

With Codeigniter 3.1.0 I had same problem. Seems that there is missing a "\r\n":

Content-Type: application/pdf; name="test.pdf"<br>
Content-Disposition: attachment;<br>
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64<br>
JVBERi0xLjYNJeLjz9MNCjQzNyAwIG9iag08PC9MaW5lYXJpemVkIDEvTCA3OTUyMTYvTyA0Mzkv<br>
RSA2ODEwODcvTiA0L1QgNzk0ODA3L0ggWyA1NjQgMjYxXT4+DWVuZG9iag0gICAgICAgICAgICAg<br>

should be:

Content-Type: application/pdf; name="test.pdf"<br>
Content-Disposition: attachment;<br>
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64<br>
<br>
JVBERi0xLjYNJeLjz9MNCjQzNyAwIG9iag08PC9MaW5lYXJpemVkIDEvTCA3OTUyMTYvTyA0Mzkv<br>
RSA2ODEwODcvTiA0L1QgNzk0ODA3L0ggWyA1NjQgMjYxXT4+DWVuZG9iag0gICAgICAgICAgICAg<br>

I changed line 725 in system/libraries/Email from

 'content'       => chunk_split(base64_encode($file_content)),<br>

to

'content'       => "\r\n" . chunk_split(base64_encode($file_content)),<br>

It works for me, but not the perfect fix.

Answer 4

i have this problem before , the problem with the path file , so i change the path file to

---

$attched_file= $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/uploads/".$file_name; $this->email->attach($attched_file);

---

And it works fine with me

    <?php

  class Email extends CI_Controller
{
    public Function index();
{
  $config = Array(
          'protocol' => 'smtp',
          'smpt_host' => 'ssl://googlemail.com',
          'smtp_port' => 465,
          'smtp_user' => 'example@gmail.com',
          'smtp_pass' => 'yourpass'
           );
 $this->load->library('email', $config);
 $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

 $this->email->from('example@gmail.com');
 $this->email->to('example@gmail.com');
 $this->email->subject('This is a test email sending');
 $this->email->message('This is some message, you can type your own');

 if($this->email->send()
{
    echo "Your email has been sent";
}else{
   show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}

}


 ?>

Here Is Full Source Code

    $validation_rules = array(
        array('field' => 'name', 'rules' => COMMON_RULES),
        array('field' => 'email', 'rules' => COMMON_RULES),
        array('field' => 'message', 'rules' => COMMON_RULES),
    );

    $this->validation_errors($validation_rules);

    $name = $this->input->post('name');
    $email = $this->input->post('email');
    $message = $this->input->post('message');

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

    //upload file
    $attachment_file = "";
    if (!empty($_FILES) && isset($_FILES["attachment_file"])) {

        $image_name = $_FILES["attachment_file"]['name'];

        $ext = pathinfo($image_name, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

        $new_name = time() . '_' . $this->get_random_string();

        $config['file_name'] = $new_name . $ext;
        $config['upload_path'] = "uploads/email/";
        $config['allowed_types'] = "*";

        $this->load->library('upload', $config);
        $this->upload->initialize($config);

        if ($this->upload->do_upload('attachment_file')) {

            $finfo = $this->upload->data();
            $attachment_file = base_url() . 'uploads/email/' . $finfo['file_name'];
        } else {

            $error = $this->upload->display_errors();
            $this->msg = $error;
            $this->_sendResponse(5);
        }
    }

    $this->email->from($email, "$name")
            ->to("example@gmail.com")
            ->subject("FeedBack From $name")
            ->message($message)
            ->attach($attachment_file);

    if ($this->email->send()) {

        // temp pass updated.
        $this->msg = "Email send successfully.";
        $this->_sendResponse(1);
    } else {

        $this->msg = "Internal server error/Something went wrong.";
        $this->_sendResponse(0);
    }
