PHPMailer form not sending attachments - php

Question

I'm trying to implement a contact form using PHPMailer but I can't make the attachment from the upload field to be sent. The contact form do work and all the other fields are sent.
I followed this tutorial with no luck.
Also tried numerous different PHP scripts such as this, this and this one, among others.
The current code I have that seems to be the most successfully used is this one:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
require_once 'phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
// Attack #1 preventor - Spam Honeypot
if ($_POST["address"] != "") {
echo "SPAM HONEYPOT";
exit;
}
// Attack #2 preventor - Email header injection hack preventor
foreach($_POST as $value) {
if(stripos($value, 'Content-Type:') !== FALSE) {
echo "There was a problem with the information you entered.";
exit;
}
}
if (isset($_POST['inputNome']) && isset($_POST['inputEmail']) && isset($_POST['inputMensagem'])) {
//check if any of the inputs are empty
if (empty($_POST['inputNome']) || empty($_POST['inputEmail']) || empty($_POST['inputMensagem'])) {
$data = array('success' => false, 'message' => 'Preencha todos os campos requeridos.');
echo ($data);
exit;
}
//create an instance of PHPMailer
$mail = new PHPMailer();
// Set up SMTP
$mail->IsSMTP(); // Sets up a SMTP connection
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Connection with the SMTP does require authorization
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl"; // Connect using a TLS connection
$mail->Host = "************"; //Gmail SMTP server address
$mail->Port = 465; //Gmail SMTP port
$mail->Encoding = '7bit';
// Authentication
$mail->Username = "*************"; // Your full Gmail address
$mail->Password = "*********"; // Your Gmail password
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
// Compose
$mail->SetFrom($_POST['inputEmail'], $_POST['inputNome']);
$mail->AddReplyTo($_POST['inputEmail'], $_POST['inputNome']);
$mail->Subject = "My Company - " . $_POST['inputAssunto']; // Subject (which isn't required)
$mail->AddAddress('name#myemail.com'); //recipient
//Add attachment
$mail->addAttachment($_FILES['inputBriefing']);
if (isset($_FILES['inputBriefing']) &&
$_FILES['inputBriefing']['error'] == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
$mail->addAddress($_FILES['inputBriefing']['tmp_name'],
$_FILES['inputBriefing']['name']);
}
$mail->Body = "Nome: " . $_POST['inputNome'] . "\r\nEmail: " . $_POST['inputEmail'] . "\r\nTelefone: " .$_POST['inputTelefone'] . "\r\nAssunto: " . $_POST['inputAssunto'] . "\r\nMensagem: " . stripslashes($_POST['inputMensagem']);
if(!$mail->send())
{
echo 'An error has occurred.';
exit;
}
echo 'Message successfully sent';
}
?>
And the form:
<form id="contact" method="post" action="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/form-contact.php">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputNome">Nome Completo *</label>
<input type="text" id="inputNome" name="inputNome" required class="form-control" placeholder="Nome Completo">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputEmail">E-mail *</label>
<input type="email" id="inputEmail" name="inputEmail" required class="form-control" placeholder="Digite seu e-mail">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputTelefone">Telefone</label>
<input type="tel" id="inputTelefone" name="inputTelefone" class="form-control" placeholder="Telefone">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputAssunto">Assunto</label>
<select class="form-control" id="inputAssunto" name="inputAssunto" >
<option disabled selected value> -- Selecione -- </option>

<option value="Hospedagem">Hospedagem</option>
<option value="Dúvidas">Dúvidas</option>
<option value="Informações">Informações</option>
<option value="Outro">Outro</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputBriefing">Briefing</label>
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" />
<input type="file" id="inputBriefing" name="inputBriefing">
<p class="help-block">Se preferir adicione seus arquivos (.pdf, .docx ou .zip)</p>
</div>
<!--Hpam Sponypot -->
<div class="form-group" style="visibility: hidden">
<label for="address">Address</label>
<input type="text" name="address" id ="address">
<p> Humans, do not fill out this form! </p>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="inputMensagem">Mensagem *</label>
<textarea class="form-control" rows="3" id="inputMensagem" name="inputMensagem" required placeholder="Escreva sua mensagem"></textarea>
</div>
<p><small>* Campos obrigatórios.</small></p>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-info">Enviar</button>
</form>
I'm using a shared host on Hostgator.

Answer 1

You were attempting to add the file as a new destination address and not an attachment.
See below for suggested amendment.
//Add attachment
// $_FILES['inputBriefing'] is an array not the file
// adding the file as an attachment before checking for errors is a bad idea also
//$mail->addAttachment($_FILES['inputBriefing']);
if (isset($_FILES['inputBriefing']) && $_FILES['inputBriefing']['error'] == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
// this is attempting to add an address to send the email to
//$mail->addAddress($_FILES['inputBriefing']['tmp_name'],$_FILES['inputBriefing']['name']);
$mail->addAttachment($_FILES['inputBriefing']['tmp_name'],
$_FILES['inputBriefing']['name']);
}

Answer 2

You have to add enctype in you form tag like this.
<form id="contact" method="post" action="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/form-contact.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Try this form tag
