Attaching Existing Files
Files that already exist, either on disk or at a URL can be attached to a message with just one line of code, using Swift_Attachment::fromPath().
You can attach files that exist locally, or if your PHP installation has allow_url_fopen turned on you can attach files from other websites.
To attach an existing file:
- Create an attachment with Swift_Attachment::fromPath().
- Add the attachment to the message with attach().
The attachment will be presented to the recipient as a downloadable file with the same filename as the one you attached.
//Create the attachment
// * Note that you can technically leave the content-type parameter out
$attachment = Swift_Attachment::fromPath('/path/to/image.jpg', 'image/jpeg');
//Attach it to the message
$message->attach($attachment);
//The two statements above could be written in one line instead
$message->attach(Swift_Attachment::fromPath('/path/to/image.jpg'));
//You can attach files from a URL if allow_url_fopen is on in php.ini
$message->attach(Swift_Attachment::fromPath('http://site.tld/logo.png'));
