∟Send Email Attachments with PHPMailer

This section provides a tutorial example on how to send email attachments with the PHPMailer package.

If you want to send attachments with your email message, you can use PHPMailer's AddAttachment() method to add a given file as an attachment. You can call this method multiple times to attachment multiple files.

Here is a PHP script example that sends 2 attachments with an email message.

<?php
#  PHPMailer-Send-Email-Attachment.php
#- Copyright (c) HerongYang.com. All Rights Reserved.

use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\SMTP;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;

$srcDir = "/home/herong/local/php/vendor/phpmailer/phpmailer/src/";
require "$srcDir/PHPMailer.php";
require "$srcDir/SMTP.php";
require "$srcDir/Exception.php";

$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
$mail->SMTPDebug = 4;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAutoTLS = false; # default is on
$mail->Host = "127.0.0.1";

try {
   $mail->setFrom('joe@herongyang.com', 'Joe Doe');
   $mail->addAddress('herong@herongyang.com', 'Herong Yang');
   $mail->Subject = 'PHPMailer Test - Send Attachments';
   $mail->Body = 'Herong, 2 files are attached --Joe';

   $mail->AddAttachment('/home/herong/tmp/invoice.pdf');
   $mail->AddAttachment('/home/herong/tmp/tickets.pdf');

   $mail->send();
} catch (Exception $e) {
   # PHPMailer exceptions
   echo $e->errorMessage();
} catch (\Exception $e) {
   # PHP exceptions
   echo $e->getMessage();
}
?>
