Tutorial Upload images also send to email using codeignter

Before go to the topic, let me declare what you need to know about this !

1. This need email to configure in your codeignter so we don't send email with pure codeignter still need another email such as gmail, etc !
2. It just simple form upload images and one input type text if you are familiar about this  good luck !

So let create email.php put inside application/config/email.php so here is email.php

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed'); /* | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | EMAIL CONFIG | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | Konfigurasi email keluar melalui mail server | */ $config['protocol']='smtp'; $config["multipart"]="related"; $config['smtp_host']='ssl://smtp.googlemail.com'; $config['smtp_port']='465'; $config['smtp_timeout']='30'; $config['smtp_user']='youremail@gmail.com'; $config['smtp_pass']='youremail'; $config['mailtype']='html'; $config['charset']='utf-8'; $config['newline']="\r\n";

Then create database up tou you and don't forget to create simple table
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `images` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL, `name` varchar(100) NOT NULL, `images` varchar(250) NOT NULL ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

then here is controller
<?php <?php defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed'); class Welcome extends CI_Controller { public function __construct() { parent::__construct(); $this->load->model("welcome_model"); } public function index() { $this->load->view('welcome_message'); } public function simpan() { $config['upload_path'] = './email'; //here is folder $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|jpeg|png|txt|php|pdf'; $config['max_size'] = '9000'; $config['max_width'] = '1024'; $config['max_height'] = '768'; $this->upload->initialize($config); if(!$this->upload->do_upload('foto')) { $data['errors'] = $this->upload->display_errors(); $this->load->view('welcome_message',$data); } else{ $config['upload_path'] = './email'; //here is folder $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|jpeg|png|txt|php|pdf'; $config['max_size'] = '9000'; $config['encrypt_name'] = true; $image_data = $this->upload->data(); $fname=$image_data['file_name']; //get name file $fpath=$image_data['file_path'].$fname; //get position file $name = $this->input->post('name'); //get value name $message="<span>name : {$name}</span>"; //here is message in body email //this target email, if you need to make dinamis email just make input type to post //$email=$this->input->post('email'); //$mail=$email; $mail = 'sidaurukfreddy@gmail.com'; $subject = 'Lintas Suara Kasih'; $this->email->from('testets@gmail.com', 'No Reply'); $this->email->to($mail); $this->email->subject($subject); $this->email->message($message); $this->email->attach($fpath); //condition if email send insert table if($this->email->send()){ $upload = $this->upload->data(); $foto = $upload['file_name']; $this->welcome_model->add($foto); } else { //not send cause failed echo "<script> alert ('Gagal kirim email'); window.history.back();</script>"; } } } } here is my model <?php <?php class Welcome_model extends CI_Model { function __construct() { parent::__construct(); } function add($foto) { $data=array('name'=>$this->input->post('ar_sub'), 'images'=>$foto, ); $this->db->insert('images',$data); } } and here is my view <?php <form method="post" action="<?php echo site_url('welcome/simpan') ?> " enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="text" name="name"> <br> <input type="file" name="foto"> <br> <br> <?php if(isset($errors)):?> <div class="alert alert-danger"> <?php echo $errors; ?> </div> <?php endif;?> <input type="submit" name="submit"> </form> Just remind you about this issue, you should create folder to and i give it name folder email just to make you easy understand and you need to setting all configuration autoload in codeignter such url, form, etc to make it working !
