phpmailerHow do I use PHPMailer to send a file?
PHPMailer is a library for sending emails in PHP. To use it to send a file, you will need to include the library, create an instance of the PHPMailer class, and then call the addAttachment()
method.
Example code
<?php
// Include the PHPMailer library
require_once('PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php');
// Create an instance of the PHPMailer class
$mail = new PHPMailer();
// Set the from address
$mail->From = '[email protected]';
// Set the to address
$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]');
// Set the subject
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the file you requested';
// Attach the file
$mail->addAttachment('/path/to/file.pdf');
// Send the email
$mail->Send();
No output is produced by this example code.
The code consists of four parts:
- Including the PHPMailer library:
require_once('PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php');
- Creating an instance of the PHPMailer class:
$mail = new PHPMailer();
- Setting the from and to addresses and the subject of the email:
$mail->From = '[email protected]';
and$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]');
and$mail->Subject = 'Here is the file you requested';
- Attaching the file and sending the email:
$mail->addAttachment('/path/to/file.pdf');
and$mail->Send();
