• Configure in controller

[php]</pre>
$message = new YiiMailMessage;
$message->setBody($model->message);
$message->subject = $model->subject;
$message->addTo($model->to);
$message->from = Yii::app()->params[‘adminEmail’];
Yii::app()->mail->send($message);
<pre>[/php]

• Create our model

[php]
class EmailForm extends CFormModel
{
public $email;
public $to;
public $subject;
public $message;
public $from;

/**
* Declares the validation rules.
*/
public function rules()
{
return array(
// name, email, subject and body are required
array(’email, to, subject, message’, ‘required’),
// email has to be a valid email address
array(’email’, ’email’),
// verifyCode needs to be entered correctly
//array(‘verifyCode’, ‘captcha’, ‘allowEmpty’=>!CCaptcha::checkRequirements()),
);
}

/**
* Declares customized attribute labels.
* If not declared here, an attribute would have a label that is
* the same as its name with the first letter in upper case.
*/
public function attributeLabels()
{
return array(
‘verifyCode’=>’Verification Code’,
);
}
}
[/php]

• Finally create our view

[php]
<?php
$this->pageTitle=Yii::app()->name . ‘ – Email Others’;
$this->breadcrumbs=array(
‘Email’,
);
?>

<h1>Email others</h1>

<?php if(Yii::app()->user->hasFlash(’email’)): ?>

<div class="flash-success">
<?php echo Yii::app()->user->getFlash(’email’); ?>
</div>

<?php else: ?>
