| <h1>Email Helper</h1> |
| |
| <p>The Email Helper provides some assistive functions for working with Email. For a more robust email solution, see CodeIgniter's <a href="../libraries/email.html">Email Class</a>.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Loading this Helper</h2> |
| |
| <p>This helper is loaded using the following code:</p> |
| <p><code>$this->load->helper('email');</code></p> |
| |
| <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->load->helper('email');<br /> |
| <br /> |
| if (valid_email('email@somesite.com'))<br /> |
| {<br /> |
| echo 'email is valid';<br /> |
| }<br /> |
| else<br /> |
| {<br /> |
| 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> |
