php - Send email with attachment via PHPMailer -
i'm preparing create form page website require many fields user fill out , sent specified email.
so far i've created dummy php email page gets message, 1 attachment, , recipient email address using google's smtp.
here's code uploadtest.html:
<body> <h1>test upload</h1> <form action="email.php" method="get"> message: <input type="text" name="message"> email: <input type="text" name="email"><br> attach file: <input type="file" name="file" id="file"> <input type="submit"> </form> </body> uploadtest.html user see
here's code email.php:
<?php require("class.phpmailer.php"); $mail = new phpmailer(); $recipiant = $_get["email"]; $message = $_get["message"]; $mail->issmtp(); // telling class use smtp $mail->smtpauth = true; // smtp authentication $mail->host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // smtp server $mail->port = 465; // smtp port $mail->smtpsecure = 'ssl'; $mail->username = "xxxxx@gmail.com"; // smtp account username $mail->password = "xxxxxxxx"; // smtp account password $mail->addattachment($_files['tmp_name']); //****here's main problem!!! $mail->setfrom('cinicraftmatt@gmail.com', 'cinicraft.com'); // $mail->addreplyto('cinicraftmatt@gmail.com', 'dom'); // reply $mail->addaddress($recipiant, 'dominik andrzejczuk'); // recipient email $mail->subject = "first smtp message"; // email subject $mail->body = $message; if(!$mail->send()) { echo 'message not sent.'; echo 'mailer error: ' . $mail->errorinfo; } else { echo 'message has been sent.'; } ?> so can tell here, phpmailer's addattachment() method takes parameter url of file directory want attached. , main problem is.
what name of variable location of file (dir/upload.jpg) i've uploaded use parameter in addattachment() method?
no, doesn't take urls, or directories. takes direct path file.
e.g.
$mailer->addattachment( '/path/to/file/on/your/server.txt', 'name_of_file_in_email', 'base64', 'mime/type' ); the path self-explanatory. name_of_file_in_email allows "rename" file, might loaded file named "foo.exe" on server, can appear "bar.jpg" in email client receives.
your problem you're trying attach uploaded file, using wrong source. should be
<input type="file" name="thefile" /> ^^^^^^^ $_files['thefile']['tmp_name'] ^^^^^^^ note field name relationship $_files.
