Email Attatchments PDF

Hey,

Ok i need to attach a PDF to email from PHP now these emails are pretty important IE we need to minimise them getting caught by Spam filters etc.

Firstly can anyone show some sample code how they would email a PDF? I've got some off the net but I get MIME errors on certain clients.

Thanks

What have you got so far? MIME with Base64 encoding (not quoted printable) is the way to do it. I usually use a boundary generated from an SHA1 of the current time and a few dashes which will never appear in Base64.

Sorry for delay...

PHP Code:

---


    $to =     $rowSupplier['printer_email'];
    $subject =     'Purchase Order';
    $bound_text =     time();
    $bound =     "--".$bound_text."\r\n";
    $bound_last =     "--".$bound_text."--\r\n";
           
    $headers =     "From: [email protected]\r\n";
    $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"
          ."Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$bound_text\"";
           
    $message =     "If you can see this MIME than your client doesn't accept MIME types!\r\n" .$bound;
           
    $message .=     "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n"
          ."Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n"
          . $body
          ."\r\n"
          .$bound;
           
    $file = file_get_contents("PO/$orderNumber.pdf");
           
    $message .=     "Content-Type: application/pdf; name=\"$orderNumber.pdf\"\r\n"
          ."Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n"
          ."Content-disposition: attachment; file=\"$orderNumber.pdf\"\r\n"
          ."\r\n"
          .chunk_split(base64_encode($file))
          .$bound_last;
    
    mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

    if($rowSupplier['email2']!="")
    {
        mail($rowSupplier['email2'], $subject, $message, $headers);
    }
    
    mail("[email protected]", $subject, $message, $headers);

It looks like you are missing a newline after the file data I believe.

    $body = "Invoice Attatched!";
    $to = $user->email;

If you can see this MIME than your client doesn't accept MIME types!

--1215093503

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

--1215093503

Content-Type: application/pdf; name="Silv1215093502.pdf"
