Hi shan_mfm,

Please have a look at this FAQ and see if it helps. If not then please tell us which step isn't working for you as I'm not clear what it is that you are trying to do.

You can add the path to the file on your server to the $attachements array!

thanx Bob,
the function works when testing locally
through a SMTP,
but when you use it online the e-mail
is not sent

any idea y?:dry:

Hi shan_mfm,

There are two main possibilities:[list]

Your isp has some particular settings that you need to configure in Joomla to send email, in this case no emails will be sent from the site

your isp requires a particular entry in the From or Reply to email fields, usually [email]name@yourdomain.com[/email]

[/list]in either case your host's help service is probably the next place to check.
