Hi, when a record is added, an email arrives but I need to attach the selected file; If the mail arrives but not the selected file.

Have a table "PRESTAMO" with 5 fields:

Fields (id, concepto, file_1, date, time)

// Email Sending event
function Email_Sending(&$Email, &$Args) {
//var_dump($Email); var_dump($Args); exit();

	$Email->Recipient = "prueba@hotmail.com";
	$Email->Subject = "último archivo";
	$Email->Format = "HTML";
	$Email->Charset = "ISO-8859-1";

	$Email->AddAttachment($Args["rsnew"]["file_1"]);
	
return TRUE;

}

Thank you very much for your ideas.

Are the field "file_1" is the file name field and you are uploading files to the folder?

if so, you may need to provide the correct file path to the AddAttachment() function.

Hi,

Yes, I am selected the file and upload it to the folder.

$sAFileName = 'uploadpath/' . $rsnew['file_1'];
$Email->AttachmentFileName = $sAFileName;

The folder that I have configured in (General Options / Upload folder is "upload/") to save the files.

My field is = carpeta_red_file

But when I receive the mail the file does not arrive. Why?

My code:

if ($FILES["x_carpeta_red_file"]["size"] > 0) {
$attach_file = "upload/" . $FILES["x_carpeta_red_file"]["name"];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['x_carpeta_red_file']['tmp_name'], $attach_file);
$mail->AddAttachment($attach_file);

I think the code is correct but I'm not sure I work with this version, v2017.0.7.

Thanks for the help.

Remove this code:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['x_carpeta_red_file']['tmp_name'], $attach_file);

The file is saved correctly in the following path, but it is not attached to the mail,

C:\xampp\htdocs\project\upload

if ($_FILES["x_carpeta_red_bitacora_file"]["size"] > 0) {
	$attach_file = "upload/" . $_FILES["x_carpeta_red_bitacora_file"]["name"];
	$mail->AddAttachment($attach_file);
	}

Just enabled Debug mode from "Tools" -> "Advanced Settings", and then regenerate ewcfg*.php file, try again, and see whether any error message displayed.

There are no mistakes, can you please try my code in my machine does not work.

The mail if it arrives but no file.

Error (0):

// Email Sending event
function Email_Sending(&$Email, &$Args) {
//var_dump($Email);
//var_dump($Args);
//exit();

	$Email->Recipient = "test@hotmail.com"; //$Args["rsnew"]["Email"];
	$Email->Subject = "My New Subject"; // Change subject
	$Email->Content .= "\nAdded by " . CurrentUserName();
	$Email->Format = "html";


	if ($_FILES["x_carpeta_red_bitacora_file"]["size"] > 0) {
	$attach_file = "upload/" . $_FILES["x_carpeta_red_bitacora_file"]["name"];

// move_uploaded_file($_FILES['x_carpeta_red_bitacora_file']['tmp_name'], $attach_file);
$mail->AddAttachment($attach_file);
}

return TRUE;
}

Someone uses this version, v2017.0.7 and use file sending by mail?

it would be possible to share that part of attaching the file, any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Double check this code:
$mail->AddAttachment($attach_file);

It should be:
$Email->AddAttachment($attach_file);

are you specifying the extension.

hard code the full path and file name as a test.

It is corrected but it still does not work:

try with this code but the added file does not arrive either:

$Email->AttachmentFileName = "C:\xampp\htdocs\project\upload\employees.pdf";
$Email->AddAttachment ($attachmentfile);

I can not make it work...

That code will never work, since there is no "AttachmentFileName" property that belongs to the Email object.

Your attachment path file is a Windows directory based. You should use the path as a web based path, for example:

$attachmentfile = "upload/employees.pdf"; // adjust the path to yours; the path is relative to application root
$Email->AddAttachment ($attachmentfile);

Yes, it works:
$attachmentfile = "upload/employees.pdf"; // adjust the path to yours; the path is relative to application root
$Email->AddAttachment ($attachmentfile);

It does not work:
$attachmentfile = "upload/" . $_FILES["x_carpeta_red_bitacora_file"]["name"];
$Email->AddAttachment ($attachmentfile);

Thanks.

Solved!!!!

Try to expose the Field's property by using var_dump() in "Row_Rendered" server event if you want to know/get the uploaded file name, for example:

var_dump($this->YourFieldName); // <-- adjust "YourFieldName" to your actual field name

I use this code to send attachment, but in case i update the attachment, it will email the old file instead of new file.
example: First i upload a file name: picture.jpg
Next: i update the picture by upload the same file name: picture.jpg
in database before i update, the file name in field attachment is: picture.jpg
when i update the file name is picture(1).jpg because the upload file has same file name.
The attachment in email is: picture.jpg, it doens't email the picture(1).jpg.
Please help
function Email_Sending(&$Email, &$Args) {
$mailto= $this->maillinglist->CurrentValue;

	 $Email->AddAttachment ($sAFileName);

}

Solved.
I changed to: $Args["rsnew"]["attachment"]

function Email_Sending(&$Email, &$Args) {
$mailto= $this->maillinglist->CurrentValue;
$sAFileName = $this->attachment->UploadPath."/" . $Args["rsnew"]["attachment"] ;

if (!ew_Empty($this->attachment->CurrentValue)){
$sAFileName = $this->attachment->UploadPath."/" . $this->attachment->CurrentValue ;
}
$Email->Recipient = $mailto;//$Args["rsnew"]["Email"];
$Email->Subject = "New PO Added"; // Change subject
$Email->Content .= "\nAdded ".$sAFileName ." By User: ". CurrentUserName() ." Update sent to: " .$mailto;
$Email->Format = "html";
$Email->AddAttachment ($sAFileName);
return TRUE;
}
