Basic Usage:
1. Customize the congfiguration setting in /config/mailer.php
return array
(
'transport' => 'smtp',
'options' => array
(
'hostname' => 'thewebapp.com',
'username' => 'mailer@thewebapp.com',
'password' => 'p@ssw0rd',
'port' => '25',
),
);
2. Create a class that extends the Mailer class and save it to /classes/mailer/class_name.php (Minus the Mailer_)
<?php defined('SYSPATH') or die('No direct script access.');
class Mailer_User extends Mailer {
public function welcome($args)
{
$this->to = array('tom@example.com' => 'Tom');
$this->bcc = array('admin@theweapp.com' => 'Admin');
$this->from = array('theteam@theweapp.com' => 'The Team');
$this->subject = 'Welcome!';
$this->attachments = array('/path/to/file/file.txt', '/path/to/file/file2.txt');
$this->body_data = array('user' => array('name' => 'Tom')); //$this->body_data = $args;
}
}
3. Create the view for the email and save it to /views/mailer/class_name/method_name.php (Minus the Mailer_)
<p>Welcome <?= $user['name']; ?>,</p>
<p>We are glad you signed up for our web app. Hope you enjoy.</p>
<p>The Team</p>
4. Use the Mailer_User class in one of your controllers
public function action_submit()
{
Mailer::factory('user')->send_welcome();
//you can also pass arguments to the mailer
Mailer::factory('user')->send_welcome(array('user' => array('name' => 'Tom')));
}
