Hi
I have a form which generates a response email to the submitter but I want this to include an attachment but I am not sure how to do this. I have included into the code file for the form but the email arrives without an attachment:

$From = $data['Email'];
$To = $data['Email'];
$Subject = "blah balh" ;
$Attachment = "assets/Uploads/blahblah.pdf";
$email = new Email($From, $To, $Subject,'',$Attachment);

Does anyone know? Is there any documentation that might help me?

Apparently it should be an array of filenames

i.e. $Attachment = array("blahblah.pdf");

but then where do I put the blahblah.pdf file so that it knows where to get it from?

Thanks

Ok, so I was heading off down the wrong track. I think I am on the right on now but still no cigar.

There is a method in the email class, attachFile but I can't get it to work. I call it

$To = $data['Email'];
$Subject = "blahblah" ;
$email = new Email($From, $To, $Subject);
//set template
$email->setTemplate('MFEmail');
//populate template
$email->populateTemplate($data);
//attach file
$email->attachFile("blahblah.pdf");
//send mail
$email->send();

but still no attachment on the email. Whats missing/wrong? I can't find any documentation on this either. Am happy to work it out for myself if I just knew where to look

Thanks

MM

attachFile() is correct. This takes the filename from the base url so if your pdf is in your assets folder you would need to do

$email->attachFile('assets/file.pdf');

Thanks, I thought I had already tried this but no. It works a treat.

Is there a way to make this dynamic?

I have a file upload field which i would like to attach to a email.

Yes this is possible. Have a look at UserForms for a reference
