Mandrill

A Codeigniter library for using Mandrill's super-fine API.

See Mandrill's help docs.

I use this library with Mailman.

Install

Add the config/mandrill.php file into your application/config directory. Optionally add that config to config/autoload.php so you do not need to do so manually.

Add the library/Mandrill.php file into your application/libraries directory.

Usage

//In some controller, far far away

$this->load->config('mandrill');

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

$mandrill_ready = NULL;

try {

	$this->mandrill->init( $this->CI->config->item('mandrill_api_key') );
	$mandrill_ready = TRUE;
	
} catch(Mandrill_Exception $e) {

	$mandrill_ready = FALSE;
	
}

if( $mandrill_ready ) {

	//Send us some email!
	$email = array(
		'html' => '<p>This is my message<p>', //Consider using a view file
		'text' => 'This is my plaintext message',
		'subject' => 'This is my subject',
		'from_email' => 'me@ohmy.com',
		'from_name' => 'Me-Oh-My',
		'to' => array(array('email' => 'joe@example.com' )) //Check documentation for more details on this one
		//'to' => array(array('email' => 'joe@example.com' ),array('email' => 'joe2@example.com' )) //for multiple emails
		);

	$result = $this->mandrill->messages_send($email);
	
}
