I want to send a confirmation mail to users given email id aftre his/her registration. I am trying this in codeIgniter framework only. But I didn't get the exact output. Please help me, what is the correct code I can use here?
Please not: I am using Xaamp server.
Thanks in advance..,

post your code that has email variables that acceses code igniter

Hi masterjiraya,
Thank you for your replay.
I am giving the codes below..,please check and let me know. And one more thing here I need to configure anything in php.ini file? If it is needed I don't know where I have to change in Xaamp.

@sandeepek a suggestion: change the password of your gmail account, since it's included in the above script.

Hi masterjiraya,
It's working now.., here I found problem in image uploading. I have removed that code , then it is working fine. :-)
