V6 e-mail attachment

Hello,

I'm trying to attach a standard pdf file to the e-mail response users receive when submitting a form.

I've entered 'file1' in the list attachement.

I'm using this custom code before the e-mail options: [pre]<?php
$form->files["file1"]["path"] = "images/documents/file1";>[/pre]
Is there anything I'm missing?

Cheers, [br]Pieter

Hi Pieter,

You can add it directly in the Attachments list box of the email action - but it needs to be a *full* path - yours does not include the first part before images/

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your reply. I've tried to add the full path to the attachment list. But when I submit the form the e-mail somehow doesn't come through anymore.

Answer

The path to file in the attachments should be a server path, you are using a web path here and that will not work!

Hi Max,

What exactly is the difference between a server path and a web path?

web path is like http://www.whatever.com/file.pdf

But a server path will usually be like C:/file.pdf or /public_html/files/file.pdf
