                /*Ending configuration for smtp or other type*/
                Yii::$app->email->configSet();//note that email setting is completed only after executing this function
                
                /*Starting configuration for php mail*/
                
                //Passing arguement to set from
                Yii::$app->email->setFrom('some email');

                //Passing arguement to set Reply To
                Yii::$app->email->setReplyTo('some email');

                //Passing arguement to set Return Path
                Yii::$app->email->setReturnPath('some email');

                $to = $model->to;

                $subject = $model->subject;

                $message_body = $model->text_body;

                $cc = $model->cc;

                $bcc = $model->bcc;

                /*Assigning the files for attachments*/

                $attachment = UploadedFile::getInstances($model,'attachment');
				
				Yii::$app->email->SaveAttach($attachment);

                // Syntax Yii::$app->email->SendMail($from,$to,$subject,$message_body,$cc,$bcc,$attachment);
                // It is important that default mail type is PHP mail
                // If we want to use PHP mail ,we can call only the function 
                // "Yii::$app->email->SendMail($from,$to,$subject,$message_body,$cc,$bcc,$attachment);"
                // If we want to use Smtp mail or other type, we can call the function
                // "Yii::$app->email->SendMail($from,$to,$subject,$message_body,$cc,$bcc,$attachment);"
                // only after the six setting for and running Yii::$app->email->configSet();

               if (Yii::$app->email->SendMail($from,$to,$subject,$message_body,$cc,$bcc,$attachment)){
			   
					//deleting the attachment
					Yii::$app->email->DeleteAttach($attachments);
                    Yii::$app->session->setFlash('success','Email sent.'); //for for wrong event.
                    return $this->redirect(['create']);
                }
                else {
                    Yii::$app->session->setFlash('danger','Email send not success.'); //for for wrong event.
                    return $this->redirect(['create']);
                }
        }

        else{

    

            return $this->render('create', [
