                    //checking username and password from db
                    $this->load->model('reg_model');
                    //$login_status = $this->form_model->userLogin($user_login_name, $user_login_password);
                    //registeration status
                    $reg_status = $this->reg_model->userReg($reg_fname, $reg_lname, $reg_email, $reg_pass, $reg_conpass);
                    if($reg_status == true){

                        $data['reg_status'] = "Welcome, you logged in.";    
                    //  $this->load->view('login', $data);
                    }else{
                        $data['reg_status'] = "Login Failed. Please Try Again...";  
                        //$this->load->view('loginsuccess', $data);
                    }
                }
            }
                        else{

                    }
    }
    ?>

<?php
class Reg_model extends CI_Model {
    public function userReg($reg_fname, $reg_lname, $reg_email, $reg_pass, $reg_conpass) {
        $sql = "INSERT INTO fw_registeration (reg_fname, reg_lname, reg_email, reg_pass, reg_conpass) VALUES (".$this->db->escape($reg_fname).", ".$this->db->escape($reg_lname).", ".$this->db->escape($reg_email).", ".$this->db->escape($reg_pass).", ".$this->db->escape($reg_conpass).")";

        //echo $this->db->affected_rows();
        if ($result = $this->db->query($sql, array($reg_fname, $reg_lname, $reg_email, $reg_pass, $reg_conpass)));
        {
            //echo base_url();
            // $this->load->view('home');
            $this->load->view('index_new');
        }
    }
}

$CI =& get_instance(); $CI->load->library('email');

    $config['protocol']    = 'smtp';
    $config['smtp_host']    = 'mail.******.com';
    $config['smtp_timeout'] = '7';
    $config['smtp_user']    = 'abctest@test.in';
    $config['smtp_pass']    = '*******';
    $config['charset']    = 'utf-8';
    $config['newline']    = "\r\n";
    $config['mailtype'] = 'html'; // or html
    $config['validation'] = TRUE; // bool whether to validate email or not

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

    $CI->email->from('test.test@test.in', 'Test');
    $CI->email->to('abctest123@test.in');
    $CI->email->cc('rec_ccc@test.com');
    $CI->email->bcc('rec_bcc@test.com');
    // EXP. $CI->email->bcc('t111@test.in,ttt2222@test.in');
    $CI->email->subject('email subject');
    $CI->email->message('message body');
    $CI->email->send();
    //echo $this->email->print_debugger();

You would use the Email class. https://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/email.html

Once your user is in the database, you can send them an email, like this;

if ( $result )
{
    $this->load->library('email');
    $this->email->from('your@example.com', 'Your Name');
    $this->email->to($reg_email); 

    $this->email->subject('Thanks for regstering');
    $this->email->message('Thank you, big lad!');   

    $this->email->send();
}

use the below code will work.. for you... note this will not work if you are sending email from localhost, if so.. you need to do setting in your php.ini and sendmail.ini files..

if($reg_status == true){
    $this->load->library('email');
    $config_email['protocol'] = 'mail';
    $config_email['mailtype'] = 'html';
    $this->email->initialize($config_email);

    $this->email->from('no-reply@yourdomain.com', 'Your Domain');
    $this->email->to($reg_email);
    $this->email->subject('We welcome you');
    $this->email->message("Thanks for registration");

    if ($this->email->send()) {
       $data['reg_status'] = "Welcome, you logged in.";  
    } else {
      $data['reg_status'] = "SOrry registration fail";  
    }

    //$this->load->view('login', $data);
}
