Codeigniter how to html template for emails

Question

I'm using below code to send email from my codeigniter based website's contact form, to do that i'm using below codes in my controller,

    $entrydata['name']= $this->input->post('name');
    $entrydata['email']= $this->input->post('email');
    $entrydata['phone']= $this->input->post('phone');
    $entrydata['message']= $this->input->post('message');$msg = 'Email has sent successfully';

            $data['reset'] = TRUE;
            $this->load->library('email');
            $this->email->from(set_value('email'), set_value('name'));
            $this->email->to('[email protected]');
            $this->email->subject("Get a quote enquiry");
            $all = 'Name:' . set_value('name') ."\n". 'Email :' .' '. set_value('email') ."\n".'Phone :' .' '. set_value('phone') ."\n".'Message :' .' '. set_value('message'); $this->email->message($all);
            $s=$this->email->send();
            $data['message'] = $msg;

Did anyone know how to add custom email template that'll hold my conact form informations?

Answer 1

This is an example which i have done

 $data['map_to']=$this->input->post('map_to');
        $event=$this->db->query("query");
        if($event->num_rows()>0)
        {
            $data['event']=$event->row();
            $data['map_from']=$event->row()->address2;
        }
        else
        {
        $data['event']=NULL;    
        }
      $data['sender_mail'] = '[email protected]';

        $this->load->library('email');
        $config = array (
                  'mailtype' => 'html',
                  'charset'  => 'utf-8',
                  'priority' => '1'
                   );
        $this->email->initialize($config);
        $this->email->from($data['sender_mail'], 'xxxx');
        $this->email->to($mail);
        $this->email->subject('Map Location');
        $message=$this->load->view('map_mail_format',$data,TRUE);
        $this->email->message($message);
        $this->email->send();       

Here i am loading a view page called map_mail_format and passing values to that view page ($data) then assign that view page to a variable then send mail with that message

Answer 2

first you need to initialize config as

$config['charset'] = 'utf-8';
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
$this->email->initialize($config);

after you load email library and then you can store your email view to a variable and mail it

$mailbody = $this->load->view('myfile', $data, true);
