attach imagejpeg to email

[Bob Bedford]

I'm trying to add an imagejpeg result as an attachment of an email.

For creating the email I'm using phpmailer class
(http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/)
Now I do create an image from a jpeg file for adding some text on it and
then send it to somebody:
here is the code:
$image = "/include/images/model.jpg";
$src = imagecreatefromjpeg($image);
$size = getimagesize($image);
$dst = imagecreatetruecolor($size[0],$size[1]);
$txt_color = ImageColorAllocate ($dst, 0, 0, 0);
ImageString ($dst, 5, 90, 30 ,"my name", $txt_color);
$tempimage = imagejpeg($dst);
if (!$mail->AddstringAttachment($tempimage,"model.jpg"))
echo ("<strong>failure attachment file</strong><br>");

Instead of attachment file, I get the failure attachment file message on the
screen after a lot of text (the jpeg file in text format).

What do I wrong ?

Is the path correct? Do you have a directory called "include" in system's
root directory?

Yes of course is the first thing I checked.

In fact my problem was to create an image temporarly, then apply it to an
other (a mask in fact), then send it as attachment, without the need to save
the generated image in a file: here is the code:

I've been able to do so, but I've an error on the file function (look at the
comment):
$image = "/include/images/model.jpg";
$src = imagecreatefromjpeg($image);
$size = getimagesize($image);
$dst = imagecreatetruecolor($size[0],$size[1]);
imagecopy($dst,$src,0,0,0,0,$size[0],$size[1]); //make a copy of the
original model, the mask !!!
$txt_color = ImageColorAllocate ($dst, 0, 0, 0);
imagestring($dst, 16, 350, 220 ,"CODE: ".$code, $txt_color); //write a code
in a field
imagestring($dst, 20, 350, 300 ,"NAME: ".$RS->name, $txt_color); //write the
name on an other field.
$tempimage = "temp.jpg";
imagejpeg($dst,$tempimage); //create jpeg: mask + text on it.
if (!$mail->AddAttachment($tempimage,"model.jpg")) //attach the image using
phpmailer class.

You didn't check the imagejpeg function prototype:
bool imagejpeg ( resource image [, string filename [, int quality]] )

IOW $tempimage does not contain an image (it's a boolean). imagejpeg
output the image directly to the httpd's buffer in your code.
