I am trying to send an email with PHP by using the PEAR mail package with an attachment. The email sends successfully with a code I got from the internet. However, the attachment does not get sent or attached. Where am I going wrong, below is my code.
<?php
require_once "Mail.php";
require_once "Mail/mime.php";
$from = "<[email protected]>";
$to = "<[email protected]>";
$subject = "Testing email from PHP with attachment";
$body = "Testing email from PHP with attachment";
$file = "invoices/PRINV7_3.pdf";
$host = "host";
$port = "25";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$headers = array ('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject);
$mime = new Mail_mime();
if ($mime->addAttachment($file,'application/pdf')){
echo "attached successfully! </br>";
} else {
echo "Nope, failed to attache!! </br>";
}
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $host,
'port' => $port,
'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>");
}
?>

The PHP mail() function with some MIME type headers can be used to send email with attachment in PHP. In the following example code, MIME and Content-Type headers are used with mail() function to send email with attachment using PHP. $to – Recipient email address. $from – Sender email address.
To send an email using the PHP mail feature, create a new PHP file in the public_html directory and input the mail() function. Then, execute the script using your web browser.
I haven't checked this code so if don't work I am sorry
include 'Mail.php';
include 'Mail/mime.php';
$text = 'Text version of email';
$html = '<html><body>HTML version of email</body></html>';
$file = '/home/richard/example.php';
$crlf = "\n";
$hdrs = array(
'From' => '[email protected]',
'Subject' => 'Test mime message'
);
$host = "host";
$port = "25";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$mime = new Mail_mime(array('eol' => $crlf));
$mime->setTXTBody($text);
$mime->setHTMLBody($html);
$mime->addAttachment($file, 'text/plain');
$body = $mime->get();
$hdrs = $mime->headers($hdrs);
$mail = & Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $host,
'port' => $port,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));
$mail->send('postmaster@localhost', $hdrs, $body);
I believe you need to add the headers from your $mime object to your $headers
$attachmentheaders = $mime->headers($headers);
and then change your mail call:
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $attachmentheaders, $body);
