Hello, you can try the following:

1.- You can execute a function every time you need to send an email notification

2.- To send a simple email using php mailer
a) Download php mailer and unzip the folder in " tuproyecto / application / libraries /"
b) Load library of php mailer in function __construct () {} of your controller
require_once('application/libraries/PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php');
c) Use php mailer where you need it

$mail = new PHPMailer();
        $mail->IsSMTP();
        $mail->SMTPAuth = true;
        $mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
        $mail->Host = "Host";
        $mail->Port = 465;
        $mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
        $mail->Username ='[email protected]'; //Email para enviar
        $mail->Password = '123'; //Su password
        //Agregar destinatario
        $mail->setFrom('[email protected]', 'user name sender');
        $mail->AddAddress('[email protected]');//A quien mandar email
        $mail->Subject = "Notificación";
        $mail->msgHTML ("<h1>Ejemplo contenido html</h1>");
       if(!$mail->send()) {
      echo 'Error al enviar email';
      echo 'Mailer error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
     } else {
       echo 'Mail enviado correctamente';
     }

In CodeIgniter there is the library email to send emails.

In the theory, controllers should be the ones who handle all these actions, so in one of your choice, you can have a function similar to the following:

public function enviarcorreo(){

  $correo = $this->input->post('email');

  $this->load->library('email');

  $config['protocol'] = 'sendmail';
  $config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
  $config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';
  $config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;

  $this->email->initialize($config);

  $this->email->from('[email protected]', 'Nombre de tu compania');
  $this->email->to($correo);

  $this->email->subject('Email');
  $this->email->message('Aqui iria el mensaje que necesitas enviar."]);

  $this->email->send();
}

In this hypothetical and simplified case, this is the step of the actions

We received the email from the recipient by means of a post request (this would be common, but it may be that it is stored in the database)

We load the email library

The default configuration is used

The configuration is initialized

We specify the sender and recipient

We specify the title and the content

The function send() sends the message

I understand that it is not phpmailer , but if you are using CodeIgniter, keep in mind that there is already a library for this and it is not necessary to use another one, but, so that you are using the framework?
