Answer 1

Step 1 : Download PhpMailer for CodeIgniter from below link. https://github.com/ivantcholakov/codeigniter-phpmailer

Step 2 : Extract. Put third_party , libraries , helpers and config folder into your CI application folder.

There will just index file(s) in each folder that will ask you to replace. Click replace and continue.

Step 3 :

Open application/config/email.php

And do some updates according to your email account. I am using gmail, so I am giving gmail settings as below.

$config['protocol']         = 'smtp'; // 'mail', 'sendmail', or 'smtp'
$config['mailpath']         = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
$config['smtp_host']        = 'smtp.gmail.com'; // if you are using gmail
$config['smtp_user']        = 'youremail@gmail.com';
$config['smtp_pass']        = 'sdkfjsk089sdfskKJ'; // App specific password
$config['smtp_port']        = 465; // for gmail
$config['smtp_timeout']     = 5;  

Step 4 : Now, in your controller where you want to send email. Use below code and its all done.

$this->load->library('email');
$this->email->from('youremail@gmail.com')
     ->reply_to('youremail@gmail.com')
     ->to('someone@somedomain.com')
     ->subject("Subject")
     ->message("Your Message")
     ->set_mailtype('html')
     ->send();
