Attachments

Remember that as soon as you start attaching things to your mail, you increase the risk that they’ll be quarantined by spam filters. Also, the prohibition against sending e-mails to addresses pulled in from a form apply double to attachments. Do not ever send an attachment to anyone whose address you’ve taken from a form.

Attaching variables

The plug-in can add textual attachments to your message. For example, if you want to attach CSV data, you can do so.

$message->attach($cities, 'cities.csv');

This example assumes that $cities is a string of text; the recipient will be able to download the attachment as “cities.csv”.

Attaching existing files

If you have a file that you need to send to people who have submitted a form, you can use the $message->attachFile() method.

$message->attachFile("/path/to/file");

The method will determine the file name and the mime type from the filename.

Attaching uploaded files

If your form is accepting uploads and you’d like the uploads e-mailed to you, you can use the attachUpload() method.

$message->attachUpload("fieldname");

The “fieldname” is the name you used for the file upload field in the form. If a file was uploaded via that form item, it will be attached to the e-mail.
