Send email to all the rows from mysql in codeigniter - email

Question

i need to send emails to all the rows in database table with their corresponsing data. i am able to send single emails by their id, but now i need to send in bulk. i have done in pure php but in codeigniter not able to figure out. how to do this.
my controller is
public function autoformcomplete()
{
$this->load->model('admin/Reminder_model');
$datan = $this->Reminder_model->autoformemail();
//this should be in whileloop, that i am not able to figure out
$email = $datan[0]['email'];
$config = array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'email-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com',
'smtp_port' => 587,
'smtp_crypto' => 'tls',
'smtp_user' => 'user',
'smtp_pass' => 'pass',
'mailtype' => 'text',
'charset' => 'utf-8',
);
$this->email->initialize($config);
$this->email->set_mailtype("html");
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$this->email->set_crlf("\r\n");
$subject = "Complete Your Partially Filled Application-".$appid."";
$data['datan'] = $datan;
$mesg = $this->load->view('email/reminder/form_complete',$data,true);
$this->email->to($email);
$this->email->from('mail#mail.com','My Company');
$this->email->subject($subject);
$this->email->message($mesg);
$this->email->send();
echo "sent";
}
My Model is
public function autoformemail(){
$this->db->order_by('id', 'DESC');
$query = $this->db->get('appstbldata');
return $query->result_array();
}

Just use a foreach loop
public function autoformcomplete() {
$this->load->model( 'admin/Reminder_model' );
$datan = $this->Reminder_model->autoformemail();
foreach ( $datan as $index => $val ) {
// $val now references the current pointer to an element in your $datan array
$email = $val['email'];
$config = array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'email-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com',
'smtp_port' => 587,
'smtp_crypto' => 'tls',
'smtp_user' => 'user',
'smtp_pass' => 'pass',
'mailtype' => 'text',
'charset' => 'utf-8',
);
$this->email->initialize( $config );
$this->email->set_mailtype( "html" );
$this->email->set_newline( "\r\n" );
$this->email->set_crlf( "\r\n" );
$subject = "Complete Your Partially Filled Application-" . $appid . "";
$data['datan'] = $datan;
$mesg = $this->load->view( 'email/reminder/form_complete', $data, true );
$this->email->to( $email );
$this->email->from( 'mail#mail.com', 'My Company' );
$this->email->subject( $subject );
$this->email->message( $mesg );
$this->email->send();
echo "sent";
}
}
I dunno what your point of $data['datan'] = $datan; line is though
