Email Helper
############
The Email Helper provides some assistive functions for working with
Email. For a more robust email solution, see CodeIgniter's :doc:`Email
Class <../libraries/email>`.
.. important:: The Email helper is DEPRECATED and is currently
only kept for backwards compatibility.
.. contents::
:local:
.. raw:: html
<div class="custom-index container"></div>
Loading this Helper
===================
This helper is loaded using the following code::
$this->load->helper('email');
Available Functions
===================
The following functions are available:
.. php:function:: valid_email($email)
:param string $email: E-mail address
:returns: TRUE if a valid email is supplied, FALSE otherwise
:rtype: bool
Checks if the input is a correctly formatted e-mail address. Note that it
doesn't actually prove that the address will be able to receive mail, but
simply that it is a validly formed address.
Example::
if (valid_email('email@somesite.com'))
{
echo 'email is valid';
}
else
{
echo 'email is not valid';
}
.. note:: All that this function does is to use PHP's native ``filter_var()``::
(bool) filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);
.. php:function:: send_email($recipient, $subject, $message)
:param string $recipient: E-mail address
:param string $subject: Mail subject
:param string $message: Message body
:returns: TRUE if the mail was successfully sent, FALSE in case of an error
:rtype: bool
Sends an email using PHP's native `mail() <http://php.net/function.mail>`_
function.
.. note:: All that this function does is to use PHP's native ``mail``
::
mail($recipient, $subject, $message);
For a more robust email solution, see CodeIgniter's :doc:`Email Library
<../libraries/email>`.
