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.

<?php

use Chilkat2\Email;

// 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 = new Email();

$email->Subject = 'Email with a string attachment';
$email->Body = 'See the attached CSV file.';
$email->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.
echo $email->GetMime(), "\n";
