copied!<p>I just had to figure this out and my eyeballs were definitely sore by the end...</p> <p>1) You need to install <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmailer/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">PHPMailer</a> to the php server.</p> <p>2) Include the PHPmailer class in your TCPDF script, like so (your path may vary):</p> <pre><code>require_once('../PHPMailer_v5.1/class.phpmailer.php'); </code></pre> <p>3) Now after your pdf code simply talk to PHPMailer like so:</p> <pre><code>$filename = "custompdf_$name_$time.pdf"; $pdf->Output($filename, 'F'); // save the pdf under filename $mail = new PHPMailer(); $mail->IsSMTP(); $mail->Host = "mail.yourhost.com"; $mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication $mail->Port = 26; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server $mail->Username = "user+yourhost.com"; // SMTP account username $mail->Password = "topsecret"; // SMTP account password $mail->From = "noreply@yourhost.com"; $mail->FromName = "Stack Overflower"; $mail->AddAddress( $email, $name ); // in this case the variable has been passed $mail->AddCC( "person@somehost.net", "Johnny Person"); // in this case we just hard code it $mail->SMTPDebug = 0; // use 2 for debugging the email send $pdf_content = file_get_contents($filename); $mail->WordWrap = 50; $mail->AddStringAttachment($pdf_content, "custompdf_for_$name_$time.pdf", "base64", "application/pdf"); // note second item is name of emailed pdf $mail->IsHTML(true); $mail->Subject = "Your pdf is here"; $mail->Body = "Dear $name,<br> Here is your custom generated pdf generated at $t.<br><br> Thank you"; if(!$mail->Send()) { echo "Sorry ... EMAIL FAILED"; } else { echo "Done. . . Email sent to $email at $t."; } unlink($filename); // this will delete the file off of server </code></pre> <p>Of course you have many options for the email sent, like not using html, or sending both html and text, adding many recipients and/or cc's, etc. </p> <p>EDIT: This does save the file temporarily on the server, but it cleans up after itself with the unlink command.</p>
