Answer 1

You can send attach file using

$this->email->attach($atch);

method in codeigniter. in this below code i'm sending mail using SMTP with Attached File.

its Working perfectly. You only need to specify base_url to define attachment file path

Controller

$email_config = Array(
    'protocol' => 'smtp',
    'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
    'smtp_port' => 465,
    'smtp_user' => 'yourmail@gmail.com', // change it to yours
    'smtp_pass' => 'mypasswords', // change it to yours
    'mailtype'  => 'html',
    'charset'   => 'iso-8859-1'
);

// Defined Attachment file using variable
$atch=base_url().'html/images/logo.png';

$this->load->library('email', $email_config);

$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$this->email->from('test@gmail.com', 'Rudra');  // email From
$this->email->to('mailtosend@gmail.com');       // eMail to send
$this->email->subject('Mail with Attachment');  // Subject
$this->email->message("This is mail with Attachment file using CodeIgniter.");  // Message
$this->email->attach($atch);  // Attachment file defined using variable

$maill=$this->email->send(); // send mail

if($maill>0)
 {
  echo 'Email sent.';  // success
 }
 else
{
 show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}
