I am creating pdf using FPDF . Pdf is generating perfectly and also pdf is available with email. But i want to send body message also. I have tried with body message. Example Fine text message This is text message from shohag
But only pdf attachment is available and body is empty. Here is my code.
function send_pdf_to_user(){
if($_REQUEST['action'] == 'pdf_invoice' ){
require('html2pdf.php');
$pdf=new PDF_HTML();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','',11);
$pdf->AddPage();
$text = get_html_message($_REQUEST['eventid'], $_REQUEST['userid']);
if(ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc')=='1')
$text=stripslashes($text);
$pdf->WriteHTML($text);
//documentation for Output method here: http://www.fpdf.org/en/doc/output.htm
$attach_pdf_multipart = chunk_split( base64_encode( $pdf->Output( '', 'S' ) ) );
//define the receiver of the email
$to = 'monirulmask@gmail.com';
//define the subject of the email
$subject = 'Test Invoice';
//create a boundary string. It must be unique
//so we use the MD5 algorithm to generate a random hash
$random_hash = md5(date('r', time()));
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n
$headers = "From: webmaster@test.ch\r\nReply-To: webmaster@test.ch";
//add boundary string and mime type specification
$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"PHP-mixed-".$random_hash."\"";
$msg .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"attachment.pdf\"\r\n";
$msg .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";
$msg .= "Content-Disposition: attachment\r\n";
$msg .= $attach_pdf_multipart . "\r\n";
$msg .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n";
$msg .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n";
$msg .= "<p>This is text message from shohag</p>\r\n\r\n";
global $message;
$message = '';
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $msg, $headers );
//@mail( $to1, $subject, $msg, $headers );
if(!empty($mail_sent)):
$message = "Invoice sent succuessfully";
else:
$message = "Error occured. Please try again.";
endif;
}
}
Please check my code and let me know further possibility. Thanks in advance.
You can use PHPMailer with FPDF . It works properly without any hassle. You need to change parameter for $pdf->Output
. Download and copy class.phpmailer.php
and PHPMailerAutoload.php
to your work folder. Attach class.phpmailer.php
below or above require('html2pdf.php');
. I have done this before so this will work. According to your code this should work.
function send_pdf_to_user(){
if($_REQUEST['action'] == 'pdf_invoice' ){
require('html2pdf.php');
require_once('class.phpmailer.php');
$pdf=new PDF_HTML();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','',11);
$pdf->AddPage();
$text = get_html_message($_REQUEST['eventid'], $_REQUEST['userid']);
if(ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc')=='1')
$text=stripslashes($text);
$pdf->WriteHTML($text);
$mail = new PHPMailer(); // defaults to using php "mail()"
$body = "This is test mail by monirul";
$mail->AddReplyTo("webmaster@test.ch","Test Lernt");
$mail->SetFrom('webmaster@test.ch', 'Test Lernt');
$address = "monirulmask@gmail.com";
$mail->AddAddress($address, "Abdul Kuddos");
$mail->Subject = "Test Invoice";
$mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
//documentation for Output method here: http://www.fpdf.org/en/doc/output.htm
$pdf->Output("Test Invoice.pdf","F");
$path = "Walter Lernt Invoice.pdf";
$mail->AddAttachment($path, '', $encoding = 'base64', $type = 'application/pdf');
global $message;
if(!$mail->Send()) {
$message = "Invoice could not be send. Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
$message = "Invoice sent!";
}
}
}
Use this simple code to send email with pdf attachment. Hope this help you. Thanks.
// Settings
$name = "Name goes here";
$email = "someome@anadress.com";
$to = "$name <$email>";
$from = "Gyan-Shah ";
$subject = "Here is your attachment";
$mainMessage = "Hi, here's the file.";
$fileatt = "./test.pdf"; //file location
$fileatttype = "application/pdf";
$fileattname = "newname.pdf"; //name that you want to use to send or you can use the same name
$headers = "From: $from";
// File
$file = fopen($fileatt, 'rb');
$data = fread($file, filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);
// This attaches the file
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
$message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
$mainMessage . "\n\n";
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: {$fileatttype};\n" .
" name=\"{$fileattname}\"\n" .
"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .
" filename=\"{$fileattname}\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
$data . "\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}--\n";
// Send the email
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
echo "The email was sent.";
}
else {
echo "There was an error sending the mail.";
}
No external libraries are necessary really. Follow this format:
$to = "email1@domain.com, email2@domain.com"; // addresses to email pdf to
$from = "sent_from@domain.com"; // address message is sent from
$subject = "Your PDF email subject"; // email subject
$body = "<p>The PDF is attached.</p>"; // email body
$pdfLocation = "./your-pdf.pdf"; // file location
$pdfName = "pdf-file.pdf"; // pdf file name recipient will get
$filetype = "application/pdf"; // type
// create headers and mime boundry
$eol = PHP_EOL;
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
$headers = "From: $from$eol" .
"MIME-Version: 1.0$eol" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;$eol" .
" boundary=\"$mime_boundary\"";
// add html message body
$message = "--$mime_boundary$eol" .
"Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"$eol" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit$eol$eol" .
$body . $eol;
// fetch pdf
$file = fopen($pdfLocation, 'rb');
$data = fread($file, filesize($pdfLocation));
fclose($file);
$pdf = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
// attach pdf to email
$message .= "--$mime_boundary$eol" .
"Content-Type: $filetype;$eol" .
" name=\"$pdfName\"$eol" .
"Content-Disposition: attachment;$eol" .
" filename=\"$pdfName\"$eol" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64$eol$eol" .
$pdf . $eol .
"--$mime_boundary--";
// Send the email
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
echo "The email was sent.";
}
else {
echo "There was an error sending the mail.";
}
change this:
$msg .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"attachment.pdf\"\r\n";
To this:
$msg = "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"attachment.pdf\"\r\n";
