PHPMailer - Print all files uploaded - php

Question

I'm using the PHPMailer to send e-mails like a notice that new files has been uploaded. The PHPMailer looks like this to create the HTML e-mails:
$mail->Body = 'Hi!<br/>'
. '<br/>These files has been uploaded:<br/><br/>'
. '<b> ' . for($i = 0; $i < count($data['data']['metas']); $i++){$file = $data['data']['metas'][$i]["name"]; echo $file <br />;} . '<br/>'
This doesn't work at all, and I somehow understand why. However, I can't figure out to send in plain text in the e-mail what files that has been uploaded.
This code alone in PHP works perfectly, but not in the HTML e-mail sent from PHPMailer.
for($i = 0; $i < count($data['data']['metas']); $i++){$file = $data['data']['metas'][$i]["name"]; echo $file <br />;}
Any ideas how to solve this, so I can send a e-mail with all files uploaded?

Answer 1

The problem is in the way you are forming your $mail->Body string. Try the following;
$mail->Body = 'Hi!<br/><br/>These files has been uploaded:<br/><br/>';
for($i = 0; $i < count($data['data']['metas']); $i++) {
$mail->Body .= $data['data']['metas'][$i]["name"] . '</br>';
}

How send files with email:
require_once '../class.phpmailer.php';
error_reporting(E_ERROR & ~E_NOTICE | E_STRICT);
$mail = new PHPMailer(true); //defaults to using php "mail()"; the true param means it will throw exceptions on errors, which we need to catch
try {
$mail->AddReplyTo('name#yourdomain.com', 'First Last');
$mail->AddAddress('whoto#otherdomain.com', 'John Doe');
$mail->SetFrom('name#yourdomain.com', 'First Last');
$mail->AddReplyTo('name#yourdomain.com', 'First Last');
$mail->Subject = 'PHPMailer Test Subject via mail(), advanced';
$mail->AltBody = 'To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!'; // optional - MsgHTML will create an alternate automatically
$mail->MsgHTML(file_get_contents('contents.html'));
// Add files
$mail->AddAttachment('images/phpmailer.gif'); // attachment
$mail->AddAttachment('images/phpmailer_mini.gif'); // attachment
$mail->Send();
echo "Message Sent OK<p></p>\n";
} catch (phpmailerException $e) {
echo $e->errorMessage(); //Pretty error messages from PHPMailer
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage(); //Boring error messages from anything else!
}
