+<h2>Loading this Helper</h2>
+
+<p>This helper is loaded using the following code:</p>
+<code>$this->load->helper(email);</code>
+
+<p>The following functions are available:</p>
+
+<h2>valid_email('<var>email</var>')</h2>
+
+<p>Checks if an email is a correctly formatted email. Note that is doesn't actually prove the email will recieve mail, simply that it is a validly formed address.</p>
+<p>It returns TRUE/FALSE</p>
+<code> $this-&gt;load-&gt;helper(email);<br />
+<br />
+if (valid_email('email@somesite.com'))<br />
+{<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;echo 'email is valid';<br />
+}<br />
+else<br />
+{<br />
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;echo 'email is not valid';<br />
+}</code>
+<h2>send_email('<var>recipient</var>', '<var>subject</var>', '<var>message</var>')</h2>
+<p>Sends an email using PHP's native <a href="http://www.php.net/function.mail">mail()</a> function. For a more robust email solution, see CodeIgniter's <a href="../libraries/email.html">Email Class</a>.</p>
