I'm using PHPmailer library to send emails and I need to send an attachment.
Currently the file is stored on the server and I have the link to the file stored in var $link.
I'm using the following to try and add the attachment but the email arrives with no attachment:
$phpmailer->AddAttachment('$link');
I have also tried it with a hardcoded path instead of my variable:
$phpmailer->AddAttachment('http://mysite.co.uk/link/to/my/file.pdf');
The email shows up but does not have any attachment.
I have tried using phpmailerException to grab any errors but get no response.
How else can I send an attachment with PHPmailer?
Full PHP code:
require_once 'library/PHPMailer.php';
$phpmailer = new PHPMailer();
$phpmailer->isSMTP(); //switch to smtp
$phpmailer->Host = 'smtp.sendgrid.net';
$phpmailer->SMTPAuth = true;
$phpmailer->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
$phpmailer->Port = 465;
$phpmailer->Username = 'username';
$phpmailer->Password = 'password';
$phpmailer->AddAttachment('http://mysite.co.uk/blah/cv.pdf');
//$phpmailer->AddAttachment('$link');
$subject = 'Job Application';
$messageConfirmation = "The <b> 'Apply for Job' </b> form has recently been completed on <b>www.mysite.com.</b><br/><br/> <b>Please see contact details below:<br /><br/> </b>";
$messageConfirmation.= "<b>Applying for:</b> $title <br/><br/>";
$messageConfirmation .= "<b>Name:</b> $name <br/><br/><b>Surname:</b> $surname <br/><br/> <b>Email:</b> $email <br/><br/> <b>Comment:</b> $comment <br/><br/>";
$messageConfirmation .= "<b>CV:</b> $link<br /><br />";
$messageConfirmation .= "Please can you call them back in the next 24 hours. <br/><br/> Thank you
My Site<br/><br/>";
