I'm trying to attach a pdf file, that gets returned by a helper function, to an email. Here is my code:
Code:
$this->load->helper(array('form', 'url','process'));
$this->load->library(array('form_validation','email','fpdf'));
$config['mailtype'] ='html';
$this->email->clear();
$this->email->initialize($config);
$this->email->from($_POST['email'],$_POST['firstname'].' '.$_POST['lastname']);
$this->email->to('myemail');
$this->email->subject('Application Test');
$this->email->message('Testing the pdf helper');
$pdf = createPDF();
$this->email->attach($pdf);
$this->email->send();
echo $this->email->print_debugger();
$this->load->view('jobs/application-success',$data);
and the helper function....
Code:
function createPDF() {
$CI =& get_instance();
$CI->fpdf->initialize('P','mm','A4');
$CI->fpdf->AddPage();
$CI->fpdf->SetFont('Arial','B',12);
$CI->fpdf->Cell(40,10,'Name: '.$_POST['firstname'].' '.$_POST['lastname']);
return $CI->fpdf->Output("","S");
Code:

With the attachment line included, there is not a body in the email at all, and without it the body says "Testing the pdf helper". The to fields in the header is just junk input that I put in since the form is un-sanitized.
Is there anyway to attach the pdf file returned from the createPDF() function?
