Cannot attach to email - El Forum - 07-02-2010
[eluser]Wario[/eluser]
I searched the forum for an answer and couldn't find one, so I apologize if this has already been solved.
I've been following this tutorial for CI: net.tutsplus.com, and I cannot get the email class to attach a simple file to the sent email. It appears in my inbox ok but with no attachment. Am I missing something in the config? I'm not sure why it's not working unless there is something else I need to set up in my php.ini file. I'm still a beginner in PHP so I could have overlooked something.
Code:
<?php
/**
* SENDS EMAIL WITH GMAIL
*/
class Email extends Controller
{
function __construct()
{
parent::Controller();
}
function index()
{
$this->load->library('email');
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$this->email->from('[email protected]', 'test');
$this->email->to('[email protected]');
$this->email->subject('This is a test email');
$this->email->message('It is working! GREAT!');
$path = $this->config->item('server_root');
$file = FCPATH . 'attachments/yourInfo.txt';
if(file_exists($file))
{
echo "File exists. Path ok: " . $file;
}
else
{
echo "Cannot find file: " . $file;
}
if($this->email->attach($file))
{
echo "File was attached: " . $file;
}
else
{
show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}
if($this->email->send())
{
echo 'Your email was sent!';
echo $file;
}
else
{
show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}
}
}
?>I created a new config file for email in put it in my application/config folder:
Code:
<?php if( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';
$config['smtp_port'] = 465;
$config['smtp_user'] = '[email protected]';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'password';Thanks for your help.

Outside of the system directory there is another folder called attachments, and in that directory there is a sample file call yourInfo.txt. The file_exists() test works, but for some reason that I can seem to get it will not attach the file in the email.

Try to put a trailing slash
$file = FCPATH . 'attachments/yourInfo.txt';
instead
$file = FCPATH . '/attachments/yourInfo.txt';
hope this will help you
