How can you send email from localhost to server in Codeigniter 4

Sending emails in Codeigniter 4 is very easy because of the new functionality; now, the stable version of Codeigniter is available to download from the official website.

They have introduced the services classes to use the Codeigniter 4 services like email; you call the services in Codeigniter by using this code.

Make sure I have created the email using Cpanel and use the same email and password here in this article.

\Config\Services::serviceName();
// i.e  \Config\Services::email();

In this segment, you should know how to use it; you can send the email from your website/localhost to the user/client using Codeigniter 4, so before using the email library, you need to see the library setting in Codeigniter 4.

Step 1: Go to the app/config/Email.php and open the file

Step 2: Update the Email set by this code.

<?php
namespace Config;

use CodeIgniter\Config\BaseConfig;

class Email extends BaseConfig
{

  /**
   * @var string
   */
  public $fromEmail;

  /**
   * @var string
   */
  public $fromName;

  /**
   * @var string
   */
  public $recipients;

  /**
   * The "user agent"
   *
   * @var string
   */
  public $userAgent = 'CodeIgniter';

  /**
   * The mail sending protocol: mail, sendmail, smtp
   *
   * @var string
   */
  public $protocol = 'smtp';

  /**
   * The server path to Sendmail.
   *
   * @var string
   */
  public $mailPath = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';

  /**
   * SMTP Server Address
   *
   * @var string
   */
  public $SMTPHost='mail.shekztech.com';

  /**
   * SMTP Username
   *
   * @var string
   */
  public $SMTPUser = 'abcd@shekztech.com';

  /**
   * SMTP Password
   *
   * @var string
   */
  public $SMTPPass = 'YourPasswordHere

  Step 3: Now go to your controller/method and just use/call the library/class

public function yourMethod(){
   $message = "Please activate the account ".anchor('user/activate/'.$data['u_link'],'Activate Now','');
   $email = \Config\Services::email();
   $email->setFrom('ci4signup@shekztech.com', 'your Title Here');
   $email->setTo($data['u_email']);
   $email->setSubject('Your Subject here | shekztech.com');
   $email->setMessage($message);//your message here

   $email->setCC('another@emailHere');//CC
   $email->setBCC('thirdEmail@emialHere');// and BCC
   $filename = '/img/yourPhoto.jpg'; //you can use the App patch 
   $email->attach($filename);
   
   $email->send();
   $email->printDebugger(['headers']);
}


<?php

use CodeIgniter\Config\BaseConfig;
