Email class: add attachment from string

[eluser]Colin Williams[/eluser]
It has to be a file for sendmail or whichever email program on your server to actually attach it. Perhaps the email class could handle the file creation, but IDK, how hard is it to really do it yourself?

Code:

$csv_data = "Paul,Peter,Jacob\nJohn,Paul,Rogers";
$filename = 'path/to/new/file.csv';
if(file_put_contents($filename, $csv_data))
{
   $this->email->attach($filename);
}
