Perl

Add a String Attachment to an Email

See more Email Object Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email object's AddStringAttachment method, which adds an attachment directly from an in-memory string — no file needs to exist on disk. The 1st argument is the filename that is written into the MIME (it is not a path to a file that is read), and the 2nd argument is the text that becomes the attachment's body. In this example we build a simple email, attach a small CSV file named people.csv straight from a string, and then print the resulting MIME so you can see the attachment embedded in the message. Perl

use chilkat();

#  This example demonstrates the Email object's AddStringAttachment method.
#  AddStringAttachment adds an attachment directly from an in-memory string.
#  The 1st argument is the filename to be placed in the MIME (not a file to be read).
#  The 2nd argument is the text content that becomes the attachment body.

$email = chilkat::CkEmail->new();

$email->put_Subject("Email with a string attachment");
$email->put_Body("See the attached CSV file.");
$email->put_From('mary@example.com');
$email->AddTo("Joe",'joe@example.com');

#  The text content of the attachment.
$csvData = "id,name\r\n1,Alice\r\n2,Bob\r\n";

#  Add the string as an attachment named "people.csv".
$email->AddStringAttachment("people.csv",$csvData);

#  Show the full MIME of the email, which now includes the attachment.
print $email->getMime() . "\r\n";
