Question

I’ve put my email configurations in the config.php but I don’t know how I can access them in my controller.

In my config.php:

/*EMAIL CONFIG*/
$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';
$config['smtp_user'] = 'username';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'pass';
$config['smtp_port'] = '465';
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';

Should I make an instance of the super global object?

Thanks in advance.

You can access it with:

$this->config->item('protocol');
