You should use one of the classes built for that, for example PEAR mail. For a bit more explanation, assuming we use just a plain text UTF8 content with the PDF file. uniqboundary should be replace by some sort of unique string $fileType is the MIME type of your file Here the code : $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "
" . 'Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="--uniqboundary"' . "
" ; $body = '--uniqboundary. "
" . . 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8' . "
" . 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit' . "

" . $text . '--uniqboundary' . "
" . 'Content-Type: ' . $fileType . '; name="' . basename ( $filename ). '"' . "
" . 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64' . "
" . 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . basename ( $filename ). '"' . "

" ; $lineSize = filesize ( $filename ) + 1; $f = fopen ( $filename , 'r' ); $chunks [] = chunk_split ( base64_encode ( fread ( $f , $lineSize ))); fclose( $f ); $body .= implode( "
" , $chunks ) . '--uniqboundary--' . "
" ; mail( $to , $subject , $body , $headers );

Hi, $file_to_attach = PATH_OF_YOUR_FILE_HERE'; for this you have to generate the file path dynamically depends on your project flow. For ex., if you want to attach file from user form input you can directly use the temp path of attached file. So the file file path may or may not hard coded depends upon ur project flow.

Hi, Once you downloaded phpmailer, extract it and set path, in your code give details as $email = new PHPMailer(); $email ->From = 'you@example.com' ; $email ->FromName = 'Your Name' ; $email ->Subject = 'Message Subject' ; $email ->Body = $bodytext ; $email ->AddAddress( 'destinationaddress@example.com' ); $file_to_attach = 'PATH_OF_YOUR_FILE_HERE' ; $email ->AddAttachment( $file_to_attach , 'NameOfFile.pdf' ); return $email ->Send();
