    function success(){
        $this->load->view('success_view');
    }

}

I tried lot but did'nt get the answer.please help me to find the solution ..

Answer 1

In your view you are submitting form to success action of success_form controller.

echo form_open('success_form/success',$form);

In your success action you are again loading the same form.

function success(){ $this->load->view('success_view'); }

You have written your send mail logic in index action which you need to call in success action to send email.

function success(){
        $this->index();
        $this->load->view('success_view');
    }

This might work for you.
