Codeigniter Email Attachment: mail is sent without attachment - php

Question

I am in a little bit of trouble sending mail with attachments in CodeIgniter. Here is my code:
$to="mailtouser#gmail.com"
$fileUrl=array(base_url()."assets/pdf/sample.pdf", base_url()."assets/pdf/sample1.pdf");
$subject="TEST MAIL";
$message="TEST MESSAGE";
$this->load->library('email');
$from = "admin#gmail.com;
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
$config['mailtype']='html';
$config['charset'] = 'utf-8';
$config['priority'] = '2';
$config['protocol'] = 'sendmail';
$config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
$this->email->initialize($config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$this->email->from($from, 'Little Bloom');
//$this->email->to();
if($cc!=''){
$this->email->cc('sendmail#gmail.com');
}
$this->email->bcc($to);
$this->email->subject($subject);
$this->email->message($message);
if(!empty($fileUrl))
{
foreach($fileUrl as $key)
{
$this->email->attach($key);
}
}
return $this->email->send();
There are multiple pdf files so I am using an array to save the URL but when I send this to my email function these files are not attached to the mail.

if you print you array $fileUrl, you'll se at once where the problem is. Using e.g.: echo '<pre>'; print_r($fileUrl);die;
the urls are missing a forward slash between your_site and assets: http://your_siteassets/pdf/sample.pdf
you can fix this either with:
$fileUrl=array(base_url("assets/pdf/sample.pdf"), base_url("assets/pdf/sample1.pdf"));
or with
$fileUrl= array(base_url()."/assets/pdf/sample.pdf", base_url()."/assets/pdf/sample1.pdf");
