  • There’s a second, optional argument to CodeIgniter’s uri segment helper which allows for a fall back default in cases where the uri segment returns false:
    $this->uri->segment(2, date('Y'));

    $msg = $this->load->view('email_template', $data, TRUE);
    $this->email->message($msg);
    $this->email->send();
