I would like to send an email with attachment.
I have no problem to send an email by using file path, but I prefer to set my attachment by using URL.
The email can sent successfully to my email without any attachment.
My PDF URL example: http://store/index.php/Store/GI/OrderID.pdf
Hope some can help me. Really Appreciate. Thank You.
Controller::
public function SendInvoice(){
$orderid = $this->uri->segment(3);
$result = $this->order->GetCustOrder($orderid);
unset($data);
$data = array(
$OrderID,
$result[0]->cust_id,
$result[0]->cust_name,
$result[0]->cust_email
);
$this->store_email->SendInvoiceToCust($data); //library
$this->session->set_flashdata('sent_email','Email has been sent to customer.');
redirect('Store/Index');
}
Library::
public function SendInvoiceToCust($data){
$message = "Dear Valued Customer, <br><br>Thank you for Purchased at Store. <br/><br/>Kindly refer the attachment to view your Invoice.";
//$attached_file = base_url(). 'index.php/Store/GI/' .$data[0]. '.pdf';
$form = base_url(). 'index.php/Store/GI/' .$data[0]. '.pdf';
$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode($form));
$separator = md5(time());
$message .= "--" . $separator . PHP_EOL;
$message .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"\" . $data[0]. '.pdf'\"" . PHP_EOL;
$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" . PHP_EOL;
$message .= "Content-Disposition: attachment" . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;
$message .= $attachment . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;
$message .= "--" . $separator . "--";
$this->email->from('email@gmail.com', 'Store');
$this->email->to('email2@gmail.com');
$this->email->subject('Store INVOICE [Do not reply]');
$this->email->message($message);
$this->email->attach($attachment);
$this->email->send();
}
I cant comment yet but you should try setting content type and encoding the pdf. The below is what I am currently using to send out an email with an attachement in codeigniter. I have updated the response. This is currently how I am taking a pdf form and attaching it. Its all done within the $message field with different content transfer and types being set.
$sender = "email@gmail.com";
$emails = "email2@gmail.com";
$subject = "Store INVOICE [Do not reply]";
$headers = "From: " . $sender . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0" . PHP_EOL;
$message = "";
$message = "--" . $separator . PHP_EOL;
$message .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"" . PHP_EOL;
$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit" . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;
$message .= ($content = "Dear Valued Customer, <br><br>Thank you for Purchased at Store. <br/><br/>Kindly refer the attachment to view your Invoice.");
$message .= PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;
$form = base_url(). 'index.php/Store/GI/' .$data[0]. '.pdf';
$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode($form));
$separator = md5(time());
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"" . $separator . "\"" . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit";
$message .= "--" . $separator . PHP_EOL;
$message .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"" . $data[0]. '.pdf'\"" . PHP_EOL;
$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" . PHP_EOL;
$message .= "Content-Disposition: attachment" . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;
$message .= $attachment . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;
$message .= "--" . $separator . "--";
$result = mail($emails, $subject, $message, $headers);
