File Attachment problem with PHPMailer class

21 New Member
Hi,

I tried to send a mail with PHPMail class. Its sending properly if i write the attachment file name directly( I have mentioned my code bellow)

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. $mail = new PHPMailer();
  2. $mail->IsSMTP();
  3. $mail->Host     = "192.168.111.111";
  4. $mail->SMTPAuth = true; 
  5. $mail->Username = ""; 
  6. $mail->Password = ""; 
  7. $mail->From     = "test@yahoo.com";
  8. $mail->FromName = "Mailer";
  9. $mail->AddAddress("test@yahoo.com","TestName"); 
  10. $mail->WordWrap = 50;                              
  11. $mail->AddAttachment("test.doc"); 
  12. $mail->IsHTML(true);                               
  13. $mail->Subject  =  "Here is the subject";
  14. $mail->Body     =  "This is the <b>HTML body</b>";
  15. $mail->AltBody  =  "This is the text-only body";
  16.  
  17. if(!$mail->Send())
  18. {
  19.    echo "Message was not sent <p>";
  20.    echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
  21.    exit;
  22. }
  23.  
If i get the file name from previous page its shows an error Language string failed to load: file_access'/tmp/phpNcvep9'.

How can i solve this problem.

Thanks.

I have never used that class before, but could it be that you need to specify the full path to your file?

On Linux: [PHP]$mail->AddAttachment( "/var/www/httpdocs/mysite.com/home/test.doc"); [/PHP]
On Windows: [PHP]$mail->AddAttachment( "C:\\My Docs\\test.doc" ); [/PHP]

That's the only thing I could think of having no experience with the PHPMailer class.

Hi.

Please use [code] tags when posting code! (Read the box on the right when you post).

As for your problem.
Could you show use the code you use to pass the file name from the previous page?

Hello. I am trying to upload a file and save it in a Sql Server 2000 database. This seems to be working fine.

Hi All, I am currently using PHPMailer to send out a set of emails on the execution of a PHP Script (obviously). My problem is that the PHPMailer action is returning a "true" result each time it is executed, but not every email generated by this action is actually being sent. My account is hosted on HostMonster, and is pointed at the localhost as the SMTP server.
