Need help with my current code below of trying to create a CSV file and then send it out as an attachment. Been having not luck in doing this process. Everytime I get close, it sends out the email, the HTML portion is working but there is no attachement, just jibble jabble code within the email. I want the CSV attachment along with the email
Note: below that $txt is a HTML table, plus contents we suppose to bring over into a CSV.
Note: I am using wordpress.
I do not want to use PHPmailer() at this moment in time, nor FPDF, MPDF or anything of those. If you do suggest PHPmailer() then please give me a really detail document or answer on how to make it work cause I tried multiple things before and no luck at this.
I have tried multiple things, but cannot seem to get it to work. I really, really need anyone help, an exclamation on what I am doing wrong and some sample code or fixed code.
My Code is below:
Here is the part where I try to create the CSV file:
$jurisdiction = $_POST['jurisdiction']; // required
$state = $_POST['state']; // required
$representative = $_POST['sales_rep']; // required
$from = $_POST['email']; // required
$client = $_POST['client']; // required
$client_email = $_POST['client_email']; // not required
$client_phone = $_POST['client_phone']; // not required
$date = date("F j, Y");
//Mail To
$to = "email@someemail.com";
//Table Data
$txt = $_POST['html_div_table_content'];
//The Attachment
$data = "<center><table align=\"center\" style=\"width:85%; ;\"><tr><td colspan=\"4\" align=\"center\" style=\"text-align:center;\" ><span style=\"text-transform:uppercase; font-weight:bold; font-size:20px; text-align:center;\">Contact Information</span></td></tr><tr><td align=\"left\" style=\"background-color:#eee; padding-left:10px; width:20%;\"><b>Representative:</b></td><td align=\"left\" style=\"padding-left:10px; background-color:#ffffff; width:30%;\">".clean_string($representative)."</td><td align=\"left\" style=\"background-color:#eee; padding-left:10px; width:20%; \"><b>Representative E-Mail:</b></td><td align=\"left\" style=\"padding-left:10px; background-color:#ffffff; width:30%;\">".clean_string($from)."</td></tr><tr><td align=\"left\" style=\"background-color:#eee; padding-left:10px; width:20%; \"><b>client Name:</b></td><td align=\"left\" style=\"padding-left:10px; background-color:#ffffff; width:30%;\">".clean_string($client)."</td><td align=\"left\" style=\"background-color:#eee; padding-left:10px; width:20%; \"><b>Jurisdiction, State:</b></td><td align=\"left\" style=\"padding-left:10px; background-color:#ffffff; width:30%;\">".clean_string($jurisdiction).", ".clean_string($state)."</td></tr><tr><td align=\"left\" style=\"background-color:#eee; padding-left:10px; width:20%; \"><b>client Phone:</b></td><td align=\"left\" style=\"padding-left:10px; background-color:#ffffff; width:30%;\">".clean_string($client_phone)."</td><td align=\"left\" style=\"background-color:#eee; padding-left:10px; width:20%; \"><b>client E-mail:</b></td><td align=\"left\" style=\"padding-left:10px; background-color:#ffffff; width:30%;\">".clean_string($email_from)."</td></tr></tr></table></center><br /><br /><P style=\"font-size:10px; color:#ff0000; text-align:center; margin-bottom:4px;\">* Prices below are only an estimated price and is in no way an official cost from Vanguard Appraisals, Inc.</p><br />".$txt."<br /><center><p style=\"font-family: 'Century Gothic',CenturyGothic,AppleGothic,sans-serif; font-size:18px; width:90%; text-align:left;\">For an official price quote, or to get a quote on hardware items, please contact Vanguard Appraisals home office at (319)365-8625 or by e-mail at <a href=\"mailto:info@camavision.com\">info@camavision.com</a>.</p></center>";
$fp = fopen('Price_Estimate.csv','a');
fwrite($fp,$data);
fclose($fp);
$attachments[] = Array(
'data' => $data,
'name' => 'Price_Estimate.csv',
'type' => 'application/vnd.ms-excel'
);
//Generate a boundary string
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
//$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents('Vanguard_Appraisals_Price_Estimate.csv')));
Here is where I send out the HTML Email and CSV file:
//Subject Line
$subject = "Price Quote Submission";;
$subject2 = "Representative Copy of Price Quote Submission";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0
" .
"From: {$from}
" .
"Cc: homeoffice@camavision.com
".
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
$message .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
" .
"--{$mime_boundary}
" .
"Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"
" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
" .
$text . "
";
//Add sttachments
$content = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents('Price_Estimate.csv')));
//$name = $attachment['name'];
//$type = $attachment['type'];
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}
" .
"Content-Type: {$type};
" .
" name=\"{$name}\"
" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
" .
$content . "
" ;
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}--
";
// create Representative email headers and HTML part of Email Message
//$headers = "From: ".$from. "
";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0
";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
";
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
if(mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers))
{
echo "<p style=\"font-family: 'Century Gothic',CenturyGothic,AppleGothic,sans-serif; font-size:18px; margin-top:-50px;\" >Thank you for submitting the following price quote on ".$date.". It has been successfully submited to the home office. </p>";
} else {
echo "<p style=\"font-family: 'Century Gothic',CenturyGothic,AppleGothic,sans-serif; font-size:18px; margin-top:-50px;\" >We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the price quote you submitted. Please return back to the price quote page and try re-submitting the form again. </p>";
}
I have a feeling that is either one of two things, that the CSV is not working or the headers are incorrect.
Like I mention before, it prints out the message of the HTML part which is a table of the email, but it doesn't send the attachment with it. Just has all the jarble. This is an example of some of jibble jarble I am getting in the email:
