I need to send a pdf with mail, is it possible?
$to = "xxx";
$subject = "Subject" ;
$message = 'Example message with <b>html</b>';
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "rn";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "rn";
$headers .= 'From: xxx <xxx>' . "rn";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

@ChristianNikkanen it's just an well set script, It also has a lot of features that are hard to accomplish. Why to reinvent the wheel? It does not use any additional plugins.

I agree with @MihaiIorga in the comments – use the PHPMailer script. You sound like you're rejecting it because you want the easier option. Trust me, PHPMailer is the easier option by a very large margin compared to trying to do it yourself with PHP's built-in mail()
function. PHP's mail()
function really isn't very good.
To use PHPMailer:
- Download the PHPMailer script from here: http://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
- Extract the archive and copy the script's folder to a convenient place in your project.
- Include the main script file --
require_once('path/to/file/class.phpmailer.php');
Now, sending emails with attachments goes from being insanely difficult to incredibly easy:
use PHPMailerPHPMailerPHPMailer;
use PHPMailerPHPMailerException;
$email = new PHPMailer();
$email->SetFrom('you@example.com', 'Your Name'); //Name is optional
$email->Subject = 'Message Subject';
$email->Body = $bodytext;
$email->AddAddress( 'destinationaddress@example.com' );
$file_to_attach = 'PATH_OF_YOUR_FILE_HERE';
$email->AddAttachment( $file_to_attach , 'NameOfFile.pdf' );
return $email->Send();
It's just that one line $email->AddAttachment();
-- you couldn't ask for any easier.
If you do it with PHP's mail()
function, you'll be writing stacks of code, and you'll probably have lots of really difficult to find bugs.

Yes, that easy. the whole point of phpMailer is that it does the complex stuff so you don't have to. That's why it's complex to read. Even for sending simply text-only emails, I prefer phpMailer tomail()
, but for working with attachments it's an absolute no brainer.

This answer also ignores the license used by the project. By using PHPMailer, you must be sure that you exclude the package from your source to prevent issues with its LGPL license.

You can try using the following code:
$filename = 'myfile';
$path = 'your path goes here';
$file = $path . "/" . $filename;
$mailto = 'mail@mail.com';
$subject = 'Subject';
$message = 'My message';
$content = file_get_contents($file);
$content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
// a random hash will be necessary to send mixed content
$separator = md5(time());
// carriage return type (RFC)
$eol = "rn";
// main header (multipart mandatory)
$headers = "From: name <test@test.com>" . $eol;
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0" . $eol;
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="" . $separator . """ . $eol;
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" . $eol;
$headers .= "This is a MIME encoded message." . $eol;
// message
$body = "--" . $separator . $eol;
$body .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"" . $eol;
$body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit" . $eol;
$body .= $message . $eol;
// attachment
$body .= "--" . $separator . $eol;
$body .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="" . $filename . """ . $eol;
$body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" . $eol;
$body .= "Content-Disposition: attachment" . $eol;
$body .= $content . $eol;
$body .= "--" . $separator . "--";
//SEND Mail
if (mail($mailto, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
echo "mail send ... OK"; // or use booleans here
} else {
echo "mail send ... ERROR!";
print_r( error_get_last() );
}
Edit 14-June-2018
for more readability in some of email provider
use
$body .= $eol . $message . $eol . $eol;
and
$body .= $eol . $content . $eol . $eol;

@Christian The other answer is only easier if you're working from a new project. I found myself in a situation where there's an old site that wants attachments. It would be far more work to go through hundreds of lines and convert all of the emails to use PHPMailer.

As noted here (stackoverflow.com/a/36938634/4876196), PHP 5.5.26 no longer allows blank lines in the additional_headers parameter; therefore, the header in this example has to be broken into a$headers
and$contents
.

It didn't work for me with "PHP 7.0.13-0ubuntu0.16.04.1". I had to add extra empty lines before the message and the base64-encoded content, respectively. Now this works (see the double $eol at the end of each line):$body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" . $eol. $eol;
and$body .= "Content-Disposition: attachment". $eol. $eol;

@Jon. $filename, is the actual name of your file and $path is the actual file path without the file name. I thought the variables were descriptive enough to declare and institution them

Note for those sending multiple attachments - separate MIME parts with$nmessage .= "--".$uid."rn";
, and after the final MIME part, use$nmessage .= "--".$uid."--";
(as shown above).

Swiftmailer is another easy-to-use script that automatically protects against email injection and makes attachments a breeze. I also strongly discourage using PHP's built-in mail()
function.
To use:
- Download Swiftmailer, and place the
lib
folder in your project - Include the main file using
require_once 'lib/swift_required.php';
Now add the code when you need to mail:
// Create the message
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance()
->setSubject('Your subject')
->setFrom(array('webmaster@mysite.com' => 'Web Master'))
->setTo(array('receiver@example.com'))
->setBody('Here is the message itself')
->attach(Swift_Attachment::fromPath('myPDF.pdf'));
//send the message
$mailer->send($message);
More information and options can be found in the Swiftmailer Docs.

To send an email with attachment we need to use the multipart/mixed MIME type that specifies that mixed types will be included in the email. Moreover, we want to use multipart/alternative MIME type to send both plain-text and HTML version of the email.Have a look at the example:
<?php
//define the receiver of the email
$to = 'youraddress@example.com';
//define the subject of the email
$subject = 'Test email with attachment';
//create a boundary string. It must be unique
//so we use the MD5 algorithm to generate a random hash
$random_hash = md5(date('r', time()));
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with rn
$headers = "From: webmaster@example.comrnReply-To: webmaster@example.com";
//add boundary string and mime type specification
$headers .= "rnContent-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="PHP-mixed-".$random_hash.""";
//read the atachment file contents into a string,
//encode it with MIME base64,
//and split it into smaller chunks
$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents('attachment.zip')));
//define the body of the message.
ob_start(); //Turn on output buffering
?>
--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>"
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Hello World!!!
This is simple text email message.
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
<h2>Hello World!</h2>
<p>This is something with <b>HTML</b> formatting.</p>
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>--
--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: application/zip; name="attachment.zip"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment
<?php echo $attachment; ?>
--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>--
<?php
//copy current buffer contents into $message variable and delete current output buffer
$message = ob_get_clean();
//send the email
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
//if the message is sent successfully print "Mail sent". Otherwise print "Mail failed"
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";
?>
As you can see, sending an email with attachment is easy to accomplish. In the preceding example we have multipart/mixed MIME type, and inside it we have multipart/alternative MIME type that specifies two versions of the email. To include an attachment to our message, we read the data from the specified file into a string, encode it with base64, split it in smaller chunks to make sure that it matches the MIME specifications and then include it as an attachment.

After struggling for a while with badly formatted attachments, this is the code I ended up using:
$email = new PHPMailer();
$email->From = 'from@somedomain.com';
$email->FromName = 'FromName';
$email->Subject = 'Subject';
$email->Body = 'Body';
$email->AddAddress( 'to@somedomain.com' );
$email->AddAttachment( "/path/to/file" , "filename.ext", 'base64', 'application/octet-stream' );
$email->Send();

This works for me. It also attaches multiple attachments too. easily
<?php

$recipient_email = "recipient@yourmail.com"; //recepient
$from_email = "info@your_domain.com"; //from email using site domain.
$subject = "Attachment email from your website!"; //email subject line
$sender_name = filter_var($_POST["s_name"], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); //capture sender name
$sender_email = filter_var($_POST["s_email"], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); //capture sender email
$sender_message = filter_var($_POST["s_message"], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); //capture message
$attachments = $_FILES['file'];
//php validation
if (strlen($sender_name) < 4) {
die('Name is too short or empty');
}
if (!filter_var($sender_email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
die('Invalid email');
}
if (strlen($sender_message) < 4) {
die('Too short message! Please enter something');
}
$file_count = count($attachments['name']); //count total files attached
$boundary = md5("specialToken$4332"); // boundary token to be used
if ($file_count > 0) { //if attachment exists
//header
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0rn";
$headers .= "From:" . $from_email . "rn";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $sender_email . "" . "rn";
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary = $boundaryrnrn";
//message text
$body = "--$boundaryrn";
$body .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1rn";
$body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64rnrn";
$body .= chunk_split(base64_encode($sender_message));
//attachments
for ($x = 0; $x < $file_count; $x++) {
if (!empty($attachments['name'][$x])) {
if ($attachments['error'][$x] > 0) { //exit script and output error if we encounter any
$mymsg = array(
1 => "The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini",
2 => "The uploaded file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE directive that was specified in the HTML form",
3 => "The uploaded file was only partially uploaded",
4 => "No file was uploaded",
6 => "Missing a temporary folder");
die($mymsg[$attachments['error'][$x]]);
}

$body .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=" . $file_name . "rn";
$body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64rn";
$body .= "X-Attachment-Id: " . rand(1000, 99999) . "rnrn";
$body .= $encoded_content;
}
}
} else { //send plain email otherwise
$headers = "From:" . $from_email . "rn" .
"Reply-To: " . $sender_email . "n" .
"X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();
$body = $sender_message;
}
$sentMail = @mail($recipient_email, $subject, $body, $headers);
if ($sentMail) { //output success or failure messages
die('Thank you for your email');
} else {
die('Could not send mail! Please check your PHP mail configuration.');
}
}
?>
This code is vulnerable to header injection attacks due to the lack of validation & appropriate contextual escaping of user input.

None of the above answers worked for me due to their specified attachment format (application/octet-stream
). Use application/pdf
for best results with PDF files.
<?php
// just edit these
$to = "email1@domain.com, email2@domain.com"; // addresses to email pdf to
$from = "sent_from@domain.com"; // address message is sent from
$subject = "Your PDF email subject"; // email subject
$body = "<p>The PDF is attached.</p>"; // email body
$pdfLocation = "./your-pdf.pdf"; // file location
$pdfName = "pdf-file.pdf"; // pdf file name recipient will get
$filetype = "application/pdf"; // type
// creates headers and mime boundary
$eol = PHP_EOL;
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_$semi_rand";
$headers = "From: $from$eolMIME-Version: 1.0$eol" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;$eol boundary="$mime_boundary"";
// add html message body
$message = "--$mime_boundary$eol" .
"Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"$eol" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit$eol$eol$body$eol";
// fetches pdf
$file = fopen($pdfLocation, 'rb');
$data = fread($file, filesize($pdfLocation));
fclose($file);
$pdf = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
// attaches pdf to email
$message .= "--$mime_boundary$eol" .
"Content-Type: $filetype;$eol name="$pdfName"$eol" .
"Content-Disposition: attachment;$eol filename="$pdfName"$eol" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64$eol$eol$pdf$eol--$mime_boundary--";
// Sends the email
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
echo "The email was sent.";
}
else {

I ended up writing my own email sending/encoding function. This has worked well for me for sending PDF attachments. I have not used the other features in production.
Note: Despite the spec being quite emphatic that you must use rn to separate headers, I found it only worked when I used PHP_EOL. I have only tested this on Linux. YMMV

I just realized that my code called some functions that I didn't include. They just made sure that to/from/cc/etc values were legit. I removed them, and now this code works as is, by itself.

Copying the code from this page - works in mail()
He starts off my making a function mail_attachment that can be called later. Which he does later with his attachment code.
<?php
function mail_attachment($filename, $path, $mailto, $from_mail, $from_name, $replyto, $subject, $message) {
$file = $path.$filename;
$file_size = filesize($file);
$handle = fopen($file, "r");
$content = fread($handle, $file_size);
fclose($handle);
$content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
$uid = md5(uniqid(time()));
$header = "From: ".$from_name." <".$from_mail.">rn";
$header .= "Reply-To: ".$replyto."rn";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0rn";
$header .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="".$uid.""rnrn";
$header .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.rn";
$header .= "--".$uid."rn";
$header .= "Content-type:text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1rn";
$header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bitrnrn";
$header .= $message."rnrn";
$header .= "--".$uid."rn";
$header .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="".$filename.""rn"; // use different content types here
$header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64rn";
$header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="".$filename.""rnrn";
$header .= $content."rnrn";
$header .= "--".$uid."--";
if (mail($mailto, $subject, "", $header)) {
echo "mail send ... OK"; // or use booleans here
} else {
echo "mail send ... ERROR!";
}
}
//start editing and inputting attachment details here
$my_file = "somefile.zip";
$my_path = "/your_path/to_the_attachment/";
$my_name = "Olaf Lederer";
$my_mail = "my@mail.com";
$my_replyto = "my_reply_to@mail.net";
$my_subject = "This is a mail with attachment.";
$my_message = "Hallo,rndo you like this script? I hope it will help.rnrngr. Olaf";
mail_attachment($my_file, $my_path, "recipient@mail.org", $my_mail, $my_name, $my_replyto, $my_subject, $my_message);
?>
He has more details on his page and answers some problems in the comments section.

100% working Concept to send email with attachment in php :
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
extract($_POST);
require_once('mail/class.phpmailer.php');
$subject = "$name Applied For - $position";
$email_message = "<div>Thanks for Applying ....</div> ";
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host = "mail.companyname.com"; // SMTP server
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Username = "info@companyname.com"; // GMAIL username
$mail->Password = "mailPassword"; // GMAIL password
$mail->SetFrom('info@companyname.com', 'new application submitted');
$mail->AddReplyTo("name@yourdomain.com","First Last");
$mail->Subject = "your subject";
$mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test
$mail->MsgHTML($email_message);
$address = 'info@companyname.com';
$mail->AddAddress($address, "companyname");
$mail->AddAttachment($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $_FILES['file']['name']); // attachment
if (!$mail->Send()) {
/* Error */
echo 'Message not Sent! Email at info@companyname.com';
} else {
/* Success */
echo 'Sent Successfully! <b> Check your Mail</b>';
}
}
I used this code for google smtp mail sending with Attachment....

I agree with @MihaiIorga in the comments – use the PHPMailer script. You sound like you're rejecting it because you want the easier option. Trust me, PHPMailer is the easier option by a very large margin compared to trying to do it yourself with PHP's built-in mail()
function. PHP's mail()
function really isn't very good.
To use PHPMailer:
- Download the PHPMailer script from here: http://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
- Extract the archive and copy the script's folder to a convenient place in your project.
- Include the main script file --
require_once('path/to/file/class.phpmailer.php');
Now, sending emails with attachments goes from being insanely difficult to incredibly easy:
use PHPMailerPHPMailerPHPMailer;
use PHPMailerPHPMailerException;
$email = new PHPMailer();
$email->SetFrom('you@example.com', 'Your Name'); //Name is optional
$email->Subject = 'Message Subject';
$email->Body = $bodytext;
$email->AddAddress( 'destinationaddress@example.com' );
$file_to_attach = 'PATH_OF_YOUR_FILE_HERE';
$email->AddAttachment( $file_to_attach , 'NameOfFile.pdf' );
return $email->Send();
It's just that one line $email->AddAttachment();
-- you couldn't ask for any easier.
If you do it with PHP's mail()
function, you'll be writing stacks of code, and you'll probably have lots of really difficult to find bugs.

Yes, that easy. the whole point of phpMailer is that it does the complex stuff so you don't have to. That's why it's complex to read. Even for sending simply text-only emails, I prefer phpMailer tomail()
, but for working with attachments it's an absolute no brainer.

You can try using the following code:
$filename = 'myfile';
$path = 'your path goes here';
$file = $path . "/" . $filename;
$mailto = 'mail@mail.com';
$subject = 'Subject';
$message = 'My message';
$content = file_get_contents($file);
$content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
// a random hash will be necessary to send mixed content
$separator = md5(time());
// carriage return type (RFC)
$eol = "rn";
// main header (multipart mandatory)
$headers = "From: name <test@test.com>" . $eol;
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0" . $eol;
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="" . $separator . """ . $eol;
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" . $eol;
$headers .= "This is a MIME encoded message." . $eol;
// message

@Christian The other answer is only easier if you're working from a new project. I found myself in a situation where there's an old site that wants attachments. It would be far more work to go through hundreds of lines and convert all of the emails to use PHPMailer.

As noted here (stackoverflow.com/a/36938634/4876196), PHP 5.5.26 no longer allows blank lines in the additional_headers parameter; therefore, the header in this example has to be broken into a$headers

It didn't work for me with "PHP 7.0.13-0ubuntu0.16.04.1". I had to add extra empty lines before the message and the base64-encoded content, respectively. Now this works (see the double $eol at the end of each line):$body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" . $eol. $eol;
and$body .= "Content-Disposition: attachment". $eol. $eol;

Swiftmailer is another easy-to-use script that automatically protects against email injection and makes attachments a breeze. I also strongly discourage using PHP's built-in mail()
function.
To use:
- Download Swiftmailer, and place the
lib
folder in your project - Include the main file using
require_once 'lib/swift_required.php';
Now add the code when you need to mail:
// Create the message
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance()
->setSubject('Your subject')
->setFrom(array('webmaster@mysite.com' => 'Web Master'))
->setTo(array('receiver@example.com'))
->setBody('Here is the message itself')
->attach(Swift_Attachment::fromPath('myPDF.pdf'));
//send the message
$mailer->send($message);

Swiftmailer is another easy-to-use script that automatically protects against email injection and makes attachments a breeze. I also strongly discourage using PHP's built-in mail()
function.
To use:
- Download Swiftmailer, and place the
lib
folder in your project - Include the main file using
require_once 'lib/swift_required.php';
Now add the code when you need to mail:
// Create the message
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance()
->setSubject('Your subject')
->setFrom(array('webmaster@mysite.com' => 'Web Master'))
->setTo(array('receiver@example.com'))
->setBody('Here is the message itself')
->attach(Swift_Attachment::fromPath('myPDF.pdf'));
//send the message
$mailer->send($message);

To send an email with attachment we need to use the multipart/mixed MIME type that specifies that mixed types will be included in the email. Moreover, we want to use multipart/alternative MIME type to send both plain-text and HTML version of the email.Have a look at the example:
<?php
//define the receiver of the email
$to = 'youraddress@example.com';
//define the subject of the email
$subject = 'Test email with attachment';
//create a boundary string. It must be unique
//so we use the MD5 algorithm to generate a random hash
$random_hash = md5(date('r', time()));
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with rn
$headers = "From: webmaster@example.comrnReply-To: webmaster@example.com";
//add boundary string and mime type specification
$headers .= "rnContent-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="PHP-mixed-".$random_hash.""";
//read the atachment file contents into a string,
//encode it with MIME base64,
//and split it into smaller chunks
$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents('attachment.zip')));
//define the body of the message.
ob_start(); //Turn on output buffering
?>
--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>"
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Hello World!!!
This is simple text email message.
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
<h2>Hello World!</h2>
<p>This is something with <b>HTML</b> formatting.</p>
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>--
--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: application/zip; name="attachment.zip"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment
<?php echo $attachment; ?>
--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>--
<?php
//copy current buffer contents into $message variable and delete current output buffer
$message = ob_get_clean();
//send the email
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
//if the message is sent successfully print "Mail sent". Otherwise print "Mail failed"
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";
?>
As you can see, sending an email with attachment is easy to accomplish. In the preceding example we have multipart/mixed MIME type, and inside it we have multipart/alternative MIME type that specifies two versions of the email. To include an attachment to our message, we read the data from the specified file into a string, encode it with base64, split it in smaller chunks to make sure that it matches the MIME specifications and then include it as an attachment.

After struggling for a while with badly formatted attachments, this is the code I ended up using:
$email = new PHPMailer();
$email->From = 'from@somedomain.com';
$email->FromName = 'FromName';
$email->Subject = 'Subject';
$email->Body = 'Body';
$email->AddAddress( 'to@somedomain.com' );
$email->AddAttachment( "/path/to/file" , "filename.ext", 'base64', 'application/octet-stream' );
$email->Send();

None of the above answers worked for me due to their specified attachment format (application/octet-stream

for best results with PDF files.

I ended up writing my own email sending/encoding function. This has worked well for me for sending PDF attachments. I have not used the other features in production.
Note: Despite the spec being quite emphatic that you must use rn to separate headers, I found it only worked when I used PHP_EOL. I have only tested this on Linux. YMMV
<?php
# $args must be an associative array
# required keys: from, to, body
# body can be a string or a [tree of] associative arrays. See examples below
# optional keys: subject, reply_to, cc, bcc
# EXAMPLES:
# # text-only email:
# email2(array(
# 'from' => 'noreply@foo.com',
# 'to' => 'jason@jasonwoof.com',
# 'subject' => 'test',
# # body will be text/plain because we're passing a string that doesn't start with '<'
# 'body' => 'Hi, testing 1 2 3',
# ));
#
# # html-only email
# email2(array(
# 'from' => 'noreply@foo.com',
# 'to' => 'jason@jasonwoof.com',
# 'subject' => 'test',
# # body will be text/html because we're passing a string that starts with '<'
# 'body' => '<h1>Hi!</h1>I like <a href="http://cheese.com">cheese</a>',

I just realized that my code called some functions that I didn't include. They just made sure that to/from/cc/etc values were legit. I removed them, and now this code works as is, by itself.

I ended up writing my own email sending/encoding function. This has worked well for me for sending PDF attachments. I have not used the other features in production.
Note: Despite the spec being quite emphatic that you must use rn to separate headers, I found it only worked when I used PHP_EOL. I have only tested this on Linux. YMMV

I just realized that my code called some functions that I didn't include. They just made sure that to/from/cc/etc values were legit. I removed them, and now this code works as is, by itself.

Copying the code from this page - works in mail()
He starts off my making a function mail_attachment that can be called later. Which he does later with his attachment code.
<?php

To send an attachment with
mail()
function is way harder than you expect, for the sake of your time, try to use PHPMailer– Mihai Iorga

Or you could just link to it?

@mihai lorga Doesn't that require server side install? If it's possibible without any extensions or plugins, I need to know how.

@ChristianNikkanen it's just an well set script, It also has a lot of features that are hard to accomplish. Why to reinvent the wheel? It does not use any additional plugins.
