Naveed picture Naveed · Jul 21, 2010 · Viewed 36.8k times · Source

I am sending emails successfully using following code. But now I want to attach a text file (example: test.txt) with email. Any Idea?

require_once "Mail.php";

$from = "Usman <[email protected]>";
$to = "Naveed <[email protected]>";
$subject = "subject";
$body = "";

$host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";

$headers = array ('From' => $from,
      'To' => $to,
      'Subject' => $subject);

$smtp = Mail::factory( 'smtp', array('host' => $host,
          'auth' => true,
          'username' => $username,
          'password' => $password ) );

$mail = $smtp->send( $to, $headers, $body );

if ( PEAR::isError($mail) ) {
echo( "<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>" );
} else {
echo( "<p>Message successfully sent!</p>" );
}

Found this code as one of the first hits of the google://pear mail attachment search.

include('Mail.php');
include('Mail/mime.php');

$text = 'Text version of email';
$html = '<html><body>HTML version of email</body></html>';
$file = './files/example.zip';
$hdrs = array(
              'From'    => '[email protected]',
              'To'      => '[email protected]',
              'Subject' => 'Test mime message'
              );

$mime = new Mail_mime();

$mime->setTXTBody($text);
$mime->setHTMLBody($html);

$mime->addAttachment($file,'application/octet-stream');

$body = $mime->get();
$hdrs = $mime->headers($hdrs);

$mail =& Mail::factory('mail', $params);
$mail->send('[email protected]', $hdrs, $body);
