Zend_Mail attachment missing line October 14, 2008

If you may ever find hard to make it work using Zend_Mail file attachment and following the documentation here http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.mail.attachments.html, there’s a missing line.

$mail = new Zend_Mail();

$at = $mail->createAttachment($myImage);
$at->type = ‘image/gif’;
$at->disposition = Zend_Mime::DISPOSITION_INLINE;
$at->encoding = Zend_Mime::ENCODING_8BIT;
$at->filename = ‘test.gif’;

$mail->send();

This should be

$mail = new Zend_Mail();

$myImage = file_get_contents($myImagePath);

$at = $mail->createAttachment($myImage);
$at->type = ‘image/gif’;
$at->disposition = Zend_Mime::DISPOSITION_INLINE;
$at->encoding = Zend_Mime::ENCODING_8BIT;
$at->filename = ‘test.gif’;

$mail->send();

This should work fine now. :)

Thanks for the info regarding the missing line…definitely useful. Note, however, that in my case, after I added the file_get_contents() function, I still had another modification to make it work…it needed different encoding: ENCODING_BASE64…

below is the sample code that workd for me…

$binaryFileToAttach = file_get_contents(‘./boat.jpg’);
$at = $mail->createAttachment($binaryFileToAttach);
$at->type = ‘image/jpeg’;
$at->disposition = Zend_Mime::DISPOSITION_INLINE;
$at->encoding = Zend_Mime::ENCODING_BASE64;
$at->filename = ‘test3434.jpg’;

That is weird that no one at framework page didn’t notice that…
