email - send html mail using codeigniter

Question

Error in mail content using SMTP in codeigniter Actually, my mail is sent with HTML tags and it is showing the HTML tags which is not correct.

$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
        'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
        'smtp_port' => 465,
        'smtp_user' => 'user@gmail.com',
        'smtp_pass' => '',
        'mailtype'  => 'html', 
        'charset' => 'utf-8',
        'wordwrap' => TRUE

    );
    $this->load->library('email', $config);
    $this->email->set_newline("
");
    $email_body ="<div>hello world</div>";
    $this->email->from('user@gmail.com', 'ddd');

    $list = array('user@gmail.com');
    $this->email->to($list);
    $this->email->subject('Testing Email');
    $this->email->message($email_body);

    $this->email->send();
    echo $this->email->print_debugger();

If am sending mail without using SMTP it works fine. What is my mistake?

Answer 1

You can try this line of code which will set the mail type to be for HTML:

 $this->email->set_mailtype("html");
