Attach pdf generated with TCPDF sending mail with mail PHP function - php

Question

I want send a pdf generated with TCPDF using mail Php function.
If I send a simple mail like this works: mail('xxx#ne.es', 'My Subject', $message);
The pdf is generated well, but when I want attach pdf in header not works.
This is my code:
$pdfdoc=$pdf->Output('file.pdf', 'S');
$separator = md5(time());
$eol = PHP_EOL;
// Send
$filename = "_Desiredfilename.pdf";
// encode data (puts attachment in proper format)
$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode($pdfdoc));
///////////HEADERS INFORMATION////////////
// main header (multipart mandatory) message
$headers = "From: Sender_Name<sender#domain.com>".$eol;
$headers .= "Bcc: email#domain.com".$eol;
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0".$eol;
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"".$separator."\"".$eol.$eol;
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit".$eol;
$headers .= "This is a MIME encoded message.".$eol.$eol;
// message
$headers .= "--".$separator.$eol;
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"".$eol;
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit".$eol.$eol;
$headers .= $message.$eol.$eol;
// attachment
$headers .= "--".$separator.$eol;
$headers .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"".$filename."\"".$eol;
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64".$eol;
$headers .= "Content-Disposition: attachment".$eol.$eol;
$headers .= $attachment.$eol.$eol;
$headers .= "--".$separator."--";
//Email message
mail('xxx#gmail.com', 'prova', 'hola', $headers);
When is the problem?
Thanks
Regards

I hope this will work for you too. I have checked and its works well. please try it.Before that please check the "php.ini" for mail and Check the pdf file was created or not.
$pdfdoc=$pdf->Output('file.pdf', 'F');
// Send
$files = "file.pdf";
///////////HEADERS INFORMATION////////////
// boundary
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
// headers for attachment
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" . "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" . " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
// multipart boundary
$message = "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" . $message . "\n\n";
// preparing attachments
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n";
$fp = #fopen($files,"rb");
$data = #fread($fp,filesize($files));
#fclose($fp);
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
$message .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"".basename($files)."\"\n" .
"Content-Description: ".basename($files)."\n" .
"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" . " filename=\"".basename($files)."\"; size=".filesize($files).";\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . $data . "\n\n";
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}--";
//Email message
mail('xxx#gmail.com', 'prova', 'hola', $headers);
or include this function in your code, use this function for sent multi-attachment file.
this one worked well . please try this.

and you edited this one by this parameter as specified format in the DTD of the function.
sentMail($recipientName,$recipientMailId,$subjectContent,$messageContent,$senderName,$senderMailId,$recipientCCMailId,$recipientBCCMailId,$attachmentFiles);
here,
$recipientName = "sam";
$recipientMailId = array("xxx#gmail.com");
$subjectContent = "this is sample pdf attachment over email";
$messageContent = "this is sample pdf attachment over email";
