codeigniter 3 smtp email send

1CodeIgniter Email Configuration
2We need to have a central place where we can manage the email settings. CodeIgniter does not come with a config file for emails so we will have to create one ourselves.
3
4Create a file email.php in the directory application/config
5
6Add the following code to email.php
7
8<?php defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
9
10$config = array(
11    'protocol' => 'smtp', // 'mail', 'sendmail', or 'smtp'
12    'smtp_host' => 'smtp.example.com', 
13    'smtp_port' => 465,
14    'smtp_user' => 'no-reply@example.com',
15    'smtp_pass' => '12345!',
16    'smtp_crypto' => 'ssl', //can be 'ssl' or 'tls' for example
17    'mailtype' => 'text', //plaintext 'text' mails or 'html'
18    'smtp_timeout' => '4', //in seconds
19    'charset' => 'iso-8859-1',
20    'wordwrap' => TRUE
21);
