Send e-mail with attachment sent by input

Question

I have a PHP website with a contact form that allows me to upload a file. This file must then be sent in an e-mail together with the other data. The email is not being received, although you will receive the send confirmation message. It is also not in spam folders. I tried the company email, Gmail and Hotmail.

There is a PHP file with HTML that then makes a post (jQuery and AJAX) to a script PHP file. In this script file is the sending of email. I know that the sending function is being executed because I receive message from it.

html code:

    <div id="inscreverOportunidade" class="hideform inscreverOportunidade" style="display:none;">
        <div id="boxForm">
            <div class="formProf">
                    <div style="width:100%;" class="big-new-close" onclick="javascript:showForm('');"><span>X</span></div>
                    <div class="to">
                        <div class="small-text"> NOME*</div>
                        <input type="text" required="true" class="input-text" value="" id="NomeO" name="NomeO" onfocus="this.value = '';" onblur="if (this.value == '') {
                                    this.value = '';
                                }">
                    </div>
                    <div class="to email">

Well... here’s a code I made in France... 14 years attracts (time...). It works. I don’t have time to translate, but it’s very easy to understand:

Answer 2

You need to convert the file to a file for a Swiftmailer mime type Swift_Mime_MimeEntity type. CUploadedFile::getInstanceByName('fileupload') Returns to Cuploadedfile class, which Swiftmailer does not know how to handle. More information on Swift attachments here.

I didn’t test it, but you’ll need to do something like this:

$uploadedFile = CUploadedFile::getInstanceByName('fileupload'); // get the CUploadedFile
$uploadedFileName = $uploadedFile->tempName; // will be something like 'myfile.jpg'
$swiftAttachment = Swift_Attachment::fromPath($uploadedFileName); // create a Swift Attachment
$this->email->attach($swiftAttachment); // now attach the correct type

Good luck
