Hi guys, me again.

 

So, iv created a dynamic PDF using html2pdf.

 

It is located in pdf.php?invoice-id=1

 

^ as an example.

 

I have a functions.php with my function to create the email upon creating an invoice via a form. Only when the pdf.php is visited with the unique id is it displayed.

 

I need to email the .pdf as an attachment WITHOUT saving the pdf to the server.

 

I was thinking i could do it like:

 

$attachment = "/pdf.php?invoice-id=1"

 

invoice id being generated via PHP also.

 

Hope this makes sense?

As always, any help is much appreciated.

Okay,

 

So for those that CAN.. i managed to get this far but now when trying to open the pdf, it comes up as corrupt.

 

   require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/pdf/html2pdf.class.php');
    $html2pdf = new HTML2PDF('P','A4','fr');
    $html2pdf->WriteHTML($content);


$to = "steve@domain.com";
$from = "noone@domain.com";
$subject = "send email with pdf attachment";
$message = "<p>Please see the attachment.</p>";
$separator = md5(time());
$eol = PHP_EOL;
$filename = "example.pdf";
$pdfdoc = $html2pdf->Output('', 'S');
$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode($pdfdoc));


$headers = "From: ".$from.$eol;
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0".$eol;
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"".$separator."\"".$eol.$eol;



$body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit".$eol;
$body .= "This is a MIME encoded message.".$eol; //had one more .$eol


$body .= "--".$separator.$eol;
$body .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"".$eol;
$body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit".$eol.$eol;
$body .= $message.$eol; 


$body .= "--".$separator.$eol;
$body .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"".$filename."\"".$eol;
$body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64".$eol;
$body .= "Content-Disposition: attachment".$eol.$eol;
$body .= $attachment.$eol;
$body .= "--".$separator."--";


mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);

For anyone using html2pdf and of whom wants to email the dynamic pdf, here is the code that now works for me:

 

$content = "<style></style>
<page>
    <h1>$cname</h1>
	<table class='address'>
	<tr>
		<td><b>Invoice No: </b></td>
		<td>$invno</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td><b>Date: </b></td>
		<td>$date</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td><b>Address: </b></td>
		<td>$name</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td></td>
		<td>$address1</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td></td>
		<td>$address2</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td></td>
		<td>$address3</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td></td>
		<td>$town</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td></td>
		<td>$county</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td></td>
		<td>$postcode</td>
	</tr>
	</table>
	<table style='width: 700px;'>
		<tr>
			<td><b>Company: </b></td>
			<td>$company</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td><b>Address: </b></td>
			<td>$addr1</td>
			<td>>$addr1</td>
			<td>>$addr1</td>
			<td>>$town2</td>
			<td>>$county2</td>
			<td>>$postcode2</td>
		</tr>
		
	</table>
	<table class='items'>
		<tr><td><b>Item Code</b></td><td><b>Item Name</b></td><td><b>Description</b></td><td><b>Quantity</b></td><td><b>Price Per Unit</b></td><td><b>Total</b></td></tr>
	$items2
	</table>
</page>";
