Inserting Images in Email Attachment in Laravel - php

Question

I have created an app using Laravel and uploaded it to the live server (shared hosting). I have programmed it such that emails are sent to clients together with email attachments generated via DOMPDF. The problem is that I receive a phishing error in Gmail inbox concerning the attachment. When I remove the image from the attachment the error disappears. Seems like am not inserting the image properly in the blade file. Please assist me on how to add the image via the controller then parse it to the view (that is sent as an attachment)?
~ Regards
PDF Controller that loads the PDF file
class PDFController extends Controller
{
//Loads the PDF document
public function getPDF(){
$pdf = \PDF::loadView('pdf.customer', ['format' => 'A5-L']);
return $pdf->stream('customer.pdf')->header('Content-Type','application/pdf');
}
}
Email blade
<div class="logo pull-right">
<?php $image_path = '/img/logo.png'; ?>
</div>
PagesController that sends the email
$pdf = PDF::loadView('pdf.customer', $data);
Mail::send('emails.feedback', $data, function($message) use ($data, $pdf){
$message->from('info#*************');
$message->to($data['email']);
$message->subject('Feedback');
//Attach output from PDF doc, customer.pdf is the name of the file attached
$message->attachData($pdf->output(),'customer.pdf');
});

If you are using Laravel inbuilt mailer then, Follow below structure
Crete mail class using
php artisan make:mail MailFileName
MailFileName.php
<?php
namespace App\Mail;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
class MailFileName extends Mailable
{
use Queueable, SerializesModels;
public $data;
/**
* Create a new message instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct($data)
{
$this->data = $data;
}
/**
* Build the message.
*
* #return $this
*/
public function build()
{
return $this->from('from_email' ,'Title')->view('emails.email_ blade_file')->with(['data' => $this->data])->subject($subject)->attach($this->data['attachment_url']);
}
}
In view you are passing $data variable so you can use all this variable just like normal blade file.
View File - resource/views/emails/email_ blade_file.blade.php
In your controller where you want to call mail function add,
SomeController.php
use use App\Mail\MailFileName;
Inside function,
$data['subject'] = 'New message from';
$data['data'] = ['your data'];
Mail::to($to_email)->send(new MailFileName($data));
