Hi

I need some help with a php script that creates a file, attaches and then emails it.

This can be seen here : http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?p=10975594

The slight issue I have is my mail server requires SMTP Authentication.

Can anyone help me with that ?

I haven some posts about pear, but I'm not sure how to add that to this script.

Thanks for any help or advice. 🙂

    cant do it with php's mail() command, install a third party script like phpmailer

      Thanks, using phpmailer's example I have the smtp auth working::

      require_once('../class.phpmailer.php');
//include("class.smtp.php"); // optional, gets called from within class.phpmailer.php if not already loaded

$mail             = new PHPMailer();

$body             = file_get_contents('contents.html');
$body             = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);

$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host       = "mail.yourdomain.com"; // SMTP server
$mail->SMTPDebug  = 2;                     // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
                                           // 1 = errors and messages
                                           // 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                  // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Host       = "mail.yourdomain.com"; // sets the SMTP server
$mail->Port       = 26;                    // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username   = "yourname@yourdomain"; // SMTP account username
$mail->Password   = "yourpassword";        // SMTP account password

$mail->SetFrom('name@yourdomain.com', 'First Last');

$mail->AddReplyTo("name@yourdomain.com","First Last");

$mail->Subject    = "PHPMailer Test Subject via smtp, basic with authentication";

$mail->AltBody    = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test

$mail->MsgHTML($body);

$address = "whoto@otherdomain.com";
$mail->AddAddress($address, "John Doe");

$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer.gif");      // attachment
$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer_mini.gif"); // attachment

if(!$mail->Send()) {
  echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
  echo "Message sent!";
}

      How would I dynamically create an attachment and then add it ?

      This is the basic code from the last script that create the attachment and then added it to the mail.

      $cr = "\r\n";
$csvdata = "data data" . $cr;
$csvdata .= " More datatatata"  . $cr;

$thisfile = 'test.txt';

$encoded = chunk_split(base64_encode($csvdata));


$subject = "File you requested from RRWH.com";
$from = "email@test.com";
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\n";
$headers .= 'Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
   boundary="----=_NextPart_001_0011_1234ABCD.4321FDAC"' . "\n";

$message = '

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

------=_NextPart_001_0011_1234ABCD.4321FDAC
Content-Type: text/plain;
       charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

------=_NextPart_001_0011_1234ABCD.4321FDAC
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;  name="';

$message .= "$thisfile";
$message .= '"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="';
$message .= "$thisfile";
$message .= '"

';
$message .= "$encoded";
$message .= '

      Any Ideas ? Thanks 🙂

        Sorted 😃

        $cr = "\r\n";
$csvdata = "data data" . $cr;
$csvdata .= " More datatatata"  . $cr;


$mail->AddStringAttachment($csvdata, $name = "test.txt", $encoding = "base64", $type = "application/octet-stream");
