I am trying to send email on codeigniter with attach file.

I always receive email successfully. However , I never receive with attach file. Below is code and highly appreciate for all comments.

    $ci = get_instance();
    $ci->load->library('email');
    $config['protocol'] = "smtp";
    $config['smtp_host'] = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
    $config['smtp_port'] = "465";
    $config['smtp_user'] = "[email protected]";
    $config['smtp_pass'] = "test";
    $config['charset'] = "utf-8";
    $config['mailtype'] = "html";
    $config['newline'] = "\r\n";

    $ci->email->initialize($config);

    $ci->email->from('[email protected]', 'Test Email');
    $list = array('[email protected]');
    $ci->email->to($list);
    $this->email->reply_to('[email protected]', 'Explendid Videos');
    $ci->email->subject('This is an email test');
    $ci->email->message('It is working. Great!');

    $ci->email->attach( '/test/myfile.pdf');
    $ci->email->send();

$this->email->attach()

Enables you to send an attachment. Put the file path/name in the first parameter. Note: Use a file path, not a URL. For multiple attachments use the function multiple times. For example:

public function setemail()
{
$email="[email protected]";
$subject="some text";
$message="some text";
$this->sendEmail($email,$subject,$message);
}
public function sendEmail($email,$subject,$message)
    {

    $config = Array(
      'protocol' => 'smtp',
      'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
      'smtp_port' => 465,
      'smtp_user' => '[email protected]', 
      'smtp_pass' => 'passwrd', 
      'mailtype' => 'html',
      'charset' => 'iso-8859-1',
      'wordwrap' => TRUE
    );


          $this->load->library('email', $config);
          $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
          $this->email->from('[email protected]');
          $this->email->to($email);
          $this->email->subject($subject);
          $this->email->message($message);
            $this->email->attach('C:\Users\xyz\Desktop\images\abc.png');
          if($this->email->send())
         {
          echo 'Email send.';
         }
         else
        {
         show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
        }

    }
