PDF Attachment missing with PHPMailer - php

I have a problem with PHPMailer. It seems that i have customers that do no receive the attachment in their outlook box. Below is the code i am using. I tested it at my private gmail where the attachment is visible.
Could it be because i am using a stringAttachment instead of a real file?
$mail = new SMail();
$mail->SetFrom('administratie#domain.nl', 'Domain b.v.');
$mail->AddAddress($invoice->SAddress()->email);
$mail->Subject = 'Factuur ' . $invoice->getReferenceNumber();
$mail->AddStringAttachment($this->getAction($invoice->invoiceId, null, 'S'), $invoice->getReferenceNumber() . '.pdf', 'base64', 'application/pdf');
$this->objTemplate->assign(array(
'title' => 'Uw factuur',
'referenceNumber' => $invoice->getReferenceNumber(),
));
$mail->MsgHTML($this->objTemplate->render('mail/invoice.tpl', false, true));

The problem was the fact that outlook blocked the inline image content on which also the attachment broke somehow.

Send PhpWord file as email attachment

What is the correct way to generate an email attachment with PhpWord?
I tried multiple ways but I get a corrupt file with size 1kb. If I trigger a download of the file instead, the file is OK.
$fileName = 'file.docx';
$fileAttachment = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'PHPWord');
$template->saveAs($fileAttachment);
$contentType = "application/octet-stream";
$notification
->setTemplate("template", $templateParams)
->setSubject($this->_("Email subject"))
->addRecipient("to", $email, $email)
->addAttachment($fileName, $fileAttachment, $contentType);
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!
You could try to use file_get_contents function to read the contents of the file and then pass it as the second parameter to the addAttachment() method:
$fileAttachmentContent = file_get_contents($fileAttachment);
$notification
->setTemplate("template", $templateParams)
->setSubject($this->_("Email subject"))
->addRecipient("to", $email, $email)
->addAttachment($fileName, $fileAttachmentContent, $contentType);
PHPWord is for generating Word documents, but it does not send mails.
You can combine it with any PHP mailer library. This is a sample on how to do it using SwitfMailer:
<?php
require_once '[...]/phpword/src/PhpWord/Autoloader.php';
require_once '[...]/swiftmailer/lib/swift_required.php';
// create a new document with phpWord
$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
$text = $section->addText("Here your text...");
// Use Swift Mailer to create an attachment object...
$attachment = new Swift_Attachment(
$phpWord->save(),
'file.docx',
'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document'
);
// ...and send the email
$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.yoursmtp.com', 25);
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance('Here your subject')
->setFrom(['sender#sdomain.net' => 'Sender Name'])
->setTo(['receiver#rdomain.org' => 'Receiver Name'])
->setBody('Here the body message...')
->attach($attachment);
$result = $mailer->send($message);
You can use any other mail library you like. Or even use the PHP mail() function, but is more tricky to set the mail headers properly.

Sending mail large attachment - ZF2

i just ran into a problem, when sending mails with attachments larger than about 2.5Mb from a server. Sending emails with smaller attachments work, but as soon the critical size of about 2 or 2.5Mb is reached, the mail is not send anymore.
The PDF files and merged target PDF are created without problem, no matter of the size. But only smaller PDF files are send by mail. Not even an empty mail is send, when the attachments are too large.
The process is a follows:
1) The php script creates several PDF files.
2) Those files are merged through gs
$finCmd = 'gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile='.$pathDest.$pdfFilename.' input1.pdf input2.pdf input3.pdf';
// Create PDF
$execResult = exec($finCmd);
3) The email body is created
protected function setBodyHtmlpart($content, $pdfFilepath = null, $pdfFilename = null) {
$content="<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:\"Arial\",\"sans-serif\";color:black;'>".$content.'</span></p>';
$html = new MimePart($content.$this->getSignature());
$html->type = "text/html";
$body = new MimeMessage();
if ($pdfFilename != '') {
$pdfAttach = new MimePart(file_get_contents($pdfFilepath.$pdfFilename));
$pdfAttach->type = 'application/pdf';
$pdfAttach->filename = $pdfFilename;
$pdfAttach->encoding = \Zend\Mime\Mime::ENCODING_BASE64;
$pdfAttach->disposition = \Zend\Mime\Mime::DISPOSITION_ATTACHMENT;
$body->setParts(array($html, $pdfAttach));
} else {
$body->setParts(array($html));
}
return $body;
}
4) The email is send with:
protected function send($fromAddress, $fromName, $toAddress, $toName, $subject, $bodyParts)
{
// setup SMTP options
$options = new SmtpOptions(array(
'name' => 'XServer',
'host' => 'xServer',
'port' => 25,
'connection_class' => 'plain',
'connection_config' => array(
'username' => 'Xusername',
'password' => 'Xpassword',
),
));
$mail = new Message();
$mail->setBody($bodyParts);
$mail->setFrom($fromAddress, $fromName);
$mail->setTo($toAddress, $toName);
$mail->setSubject($subject);
$transport = new SmtpTransport($options);
$transport->send($mail);
}
Any hints are welcome, as i am totaly lost.
I thought there could be race problem: exec is not finished, but script already tries to send the mail and cancels. But i than would at least receive an empty email.
Edit:
Changing then Mime\Mime::ENCODING_BASE64 delivers the mails, but PDF files are corrupted.
Have you tried using type Octetstream
$pdfAttach->type = Mime::TYPE_OCTETSTREAM;
$pdfAttach->encoding = Mime::ENCODING_BASE64;
It seems like, that the issue is the mime encoding.
All options:
Zend_Mime::ENCODING_7BIT: '7bit' --> corrupted file
Zend_Mime::ENCODING_8BIT: '8bit'; --> corrupted file
Zend_Mime::ENCODING_QUOTEDPRINTABLE: 'quoted-printable' --> corrupted
file
Zend_Mime::ENCODING_BASE64: 'base64' --> file not send
did not work.
Developed a solution with PHPMailer.
Worked out.

Email a PDF generated with html2pdf from a dynamically generated page

So I work with codeigniter and I generate a page.
I want to send a mail with the page attached as PDF but I also want not to save it on the server.
I found 2 code resources that look like doing exactly what I need:
<?php
$content = "
<page>
<h1>Exemple d'utilisation</h1>
<br>
Ceci est un <b>exemple d'utilisation</b>
de <a href='http://html2pdf.fr/'>HTML2PDF</a>.<br>
</page>";
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/html2pdf/html2pdf.class.php');
$html2pdf = new HTML2PDF('P','A4','fr');
$html2pdf->WriteHTML($content);
$html2pdf->Output('exemple.pdf');
?>
For creating a PDF using html2pdf library
<?php
require_once (dirname)(__FILE__).'/html2pdf/html2pdf.class.php');
require_once (dirname)(__FILE__).'/pjmail/pjmail.class.php');
?>
<?php
$pdf = new HTML2PDF ('P', 'A4');
$pdf->WriteHTML($content);
$content_pdf = $pdf->Output('document.pdf', true);
$mail = new PJmail();
mail->setAllFrom('webmaster#my_site.net', "My Site");
$mail->addrecipient('mymail#my_site.net');
$mail->addsubject("test");
$mail->text"Insert some text here...";
$mail->addbinattachement('test.pdf', $content_pdf);
echo $mail->sendmail();
?>
For sending the email with a PDF attachment.
Now I have to say that I am a beginner in PHP and I KIND OF understand what the code does. I don't know how to pass the link to the $content variable.
Someone told me that I should use a function like curl or file_get_contents but it is not clear to me at all. Could someone explain me a little?
I send you code with dom pdf in which email send with pdf and after sent email pdf delete

Mail Mime image in email body not showing up using MailMime addHtml(...)

Mail_Mime 1.8.9
Mail 1.2.0
php 5.4.12
project = run from my localhost dev computer (LAN).
Hello, I am attempting to add an image to my email I am sending out using MailMime. The image never loads. I'll go through the steps below:
Here I am stripping everything off of the image but the image name and extension (ie:noimage.jpg). I then create a link for non image related purposes, I then create the image tag using the stripped image name and extension.
$url = substr($baseImage, 36);
$domainName = DomainNameUtil::getWebSiteDomainName();
$projectPath = DomainNameUtil::getPathToProject();
$productUrl = $domainName . $projectPath . "/client/app/#/products/" . $product->id;
$productLink = "<a href='$productUrl'>$product->name</a>";
$string = "<img src='$url' /><br />";
Here I am sending the message
$mailConfig = MailConfigurationUtil::getMailConfigurationData();
$headers = array (
'From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject
);
$crlf = "\n";
$mime = new Mail_mime(array('eol' => $crlf));
$mime->setHTMLBody($body);
$headers = $mime->headers($headers);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array (
'host' => $mailConfig->mailServer,
'port' => $mailConfig->port,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $mailConfig->userName,
'password' => $mailConfig->password
));
$productManager = new ProductManager();
$ordersManager = new OrdersManager();
$orderVirtualItem = $ordersManager->getOrderVirtualItemByBoxId($boxId);
$product = $productManager->getProductById($orderVirtualItem->itemId);
$url = $product->baseImage;
$domain = DomainNameUtil::getWebSiteDomainName();
$path = DomainNameUtil::getPathToProject();
$r = substr($url, 5);
$finalUrl = $domain . $path . $r;
$mime->addHTMLImage(file_get_contents($finalUrl),'image/jpeg',basename("noimage"),false, "blackstone");
$body = $mime->get();
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
In the example above, I know the image is called noimage.jpeg, so in the addHtmlImage above I simply stated the name. I am under the impression that the name used in addHtmlImage has to be the same name as the image name in the image src tag in the html body.
When I actually send my email I get the email and I get some text saying there is an image, but the image tag in my email body does not load.
Also, looking at it under firebug it has a proxy attached to the image src. Also it references it as PROXYADDRESS#http://noimage.jpg
Anyone have experience in this that can help me understand why the image is not loading?
For reference, I saw someone posting this method online and tried copying them. before this I had even tried putting the whole url in the image src and not adding the image to MIME, and it did not work.
i got pretty similar problem here.
What i got so far: it depends on phpversion (and installed Mail_Mime).
Mail_Mime seems to be "broken" under php 5.4.30
If i run my script under php 5.2.17 all images show up correctly
If i run my script under php 5.4.30 all images do not show up correctly
when i compare both sourcecodes, it seems, Mail_Mime under 5.4.30 gets messy with the order of boundarys and the Content-Type:
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; in 5.2.17
Content-Type: multipart/related; in 5.4.30enter image description here
When specifying a context-id (the last parameter to addHtmlImage()) you must reference the image in the html message correctly: <img src="cid:context-id#local" />. Of course replacing context id with your own context id for each image to show.

blank pdf attachment sent using FPDF and SwiftMailer

I am trying to create a PDF stream using FPDF library and to send the pdf over e-mail using Swift Mailer. Below is my code. The mail is sent successfully and even pdf is also attached but the pdf is blank. It has a size of 1Kb and can be opened as a pdf.
My code is :
<?php
include('./fpdf/fpdf.php');
require_once './lib/swift_required.php';
$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Text(40, 10, "Dummy text");
$data=$pdf->Output('./emails/order.pdf', 'F');
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance('Subject')
->setFrom(array("admin#mysite.com" => 'Company Admin'))
->setTo('my#email.com')
->setBody('This is body text', 'text/html');
$attachment = Swift_Attachment::fromPath('./emails/order.pdf');
//$attachment = Swift_Attachment::newInstance($data, 'pdf_name.pdf', 'application/pdf');
$message->attach($attachment);
$transport = Swift_MailTransport::newInstance();
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);
$result = $mailer->send($message);
I referred to this question previous question
I finally got it to work. I changed the code as follows:
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
as edited above and it worked. I think the problem was in in the AddPage.
