$data[‘msg’] = $msg;

}else{

$data[‘subject’] = ‘’;

$data[‘msg’] = ‘’;

}

$data[‘title’] = “Send Email”;

$data[‘main’] = ‘admin_subs_mail’;

$this- > load- > vars($data);

$this- > load- > view(‘dashboard’);

}

}

Finally, it ’ s time to update the view. You need to set it such that the values for the subject and

message fields accept the values from the controller. That ’ s easily remedied by adding a value index for

each form field ’ s array.

One last thing: It would be good to add a way to display the flash data message, so that users know if a
test e - mail was sent:

< ?php

echo $this- > tinyMce;

if ($this- > session- > flashdata(‘message’)){

echo “ < div class=’message’ > ”.$this- > session- > flashdata(‘message’).” < /div > ”;

}
