codeigniter email print debugger

Sure! Here is a step-by-step explanation of how to use CodeIgniter to print and debug email messages:

  1. Load the Email Library: First, you need to load the Email library in CodeIgniter. You can do this by adding the following line of code in your controller or wherever you want to use the Email library:
$this->load->library('email');
  1. Configure Email Preferences: After loading the Email library, you need to configure the email preferences. This includes setting the SMTP host, port, username, password, and other relevant settings. You can do this by calling the initialize() method of the Email library and passing an array of configuration settings. Here's an example:
$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'your_smtp_host';
$config['smtp_port'] = 'your_smtp_port';
$config['smtp_user'] = 'your_smtp_username';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'your_smtp_password';

$this->email->initialize($config);
  1. Set Email Content: Next, you need to set the content of your email. This includes the recipient's email address, subject, message body, and any attachments. You can do this by calling various methods of the Email library. Here's an example:
$this->email->from('[email protected]', 'Your Name');
$this->email->to('[email protected]');
$this->email->subject('Your Email Subject');
$this->email->message('Your Email Message');

$this->email->attach('/path/to/attachment/file.pdf');
  1. Send the Email: Once you have set up the email content, you can send the email using the send() method of the Email library. Here's an example:
$this->email->send();
  1. Print Email Debugging Information: Finally, if you want to print debugging information about the email, you can use the print_debugger() method of the Email library. This method returns a string containing information such as the email headers, SMTP debug output, and any errors that occurred during the sending process. You can print this information to the screen or log it for further analysis. Here's an example:
echo $this->email->print_debugger();

That's it! Following these steps will allow you to print and debug email messages using CodeIgniter's Email library. Let me know if you need further assistance!
