Hi guys,

i'm trying sending attachments files in email :

all is working but and email arrives but attachments shows this error:

Code:

Unable to locate the following email attachment: http://www.asd.com/files/file.pdf

if i go to file url (http://www.asd.com/files/file.pdf ) by browser i can see that file!!

anyone can help me?

my email script is simple:

Code:

if($_FILES['bill_file']['tmp_name'] and $_FILES['bill_file']['name'])
            {
                     if($this->input->post('email_for_bill',true)){
                     $billTemp = htmlentities($_FILES['bill_file']['tmp_name']);
                     $bill = htmlentities($_FILES['bill_file']['name']);
                  //  if(move_uploaded_file($billTemp,'uploads/orders/bills/'.$bill))
                    //{

                      $this->load->library('email');
                       $config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';
                       $config['mailtype'] = 'html';

                      $this->email->initialize($config);
                      
                      $this->email->from($this->config->config['email_from'],$this->config->config['email_sender_sitename']);
                      $this->email->to($this->input->post('email_for_bill',true));
                      $this->email->subject("my order n ".$id."(Order Bill)");
                      $this->email->message('asdasd');
                      $this->email->attach(base_url().'uploads/orders/bills/'.$bill);

                      $this->email->send();

                      unset($data);
                      $data = array('bill_sent'=>'1');
                      $this->order_bills->update($id,$data);
                    }
                   //  }
                    
            }//end upload + email attachment send

echo $this->email->print_debugger();

so just to explain my script, first of all i upload and move file into main folder, then i create email , take created file and attach that to email and in the end i send email...

my folders are all 775

really don't know why anytime the file is created but not attached

thanks to anyone can help me guys

That's coz you are using absolute path. You need to use relative path. See following statement from the guide

Note: Use a file path, not a URL.

Code:

$this->email->attach('/path/to/photo1.jpg');
