Universal Email v.3.04 - File Attachments

Universal Email v.3.04 - File Attachments

I have checked most if not all of the support documents, and looked for any reference here on the forums, but I haven't been able to location any examples of how to include file attachments using Universal Email.

I found this reference and similar on your site and in the help documentation:
Universal Email can send attachments along with the email messages, as long as the file exists on the server. To do this you will only need to specify the file name and location on the server within the attachment tab in Universal Email.

That being said, I am unable to include my attachements with my emails...

My example...

/PDF/<?php echo $row_Recordset1['filename']; ?>

This hasn't worked. Please clarify the Absolute Path.

Thank you in advance for your time and comments.

use:

<?php echo(realpath("/PDF/".$row_Recordset1['filename'])); ?>

Same result, the message is being sent no problem, but I'm getting no physical file attachment.

I also got a Dialog from CS3..

"It appears that one of your server-side values is improperly coded. Please check this interface for inconsistencies."

This appeared after I added the
<?php echo(realpath("../PDF/".$row_Recordset1['filename'])); ?>

To the Entered Value field in the Attachments Tab for UE.

It looks correct. What does it look like in the resulting email include file that references the attachment? Maybe you left some code behind causing the error. It is hard to say without looking at the code.

I added just the true absolute path in place of the (realpath("/PDF/".$row_Recordset1['filename']) option that your mentioned. I am still getting the same results either way, but the dialog box is no longer showing up after I made the last change.

Below is the requested code I think...

if ($RecipientEmail) {
$WA_MailObject = WAUE_AddRecipient($WA_MailObject,$RecipientEmail);
}
else {
//To Entries
}

//Attachment Entries
$WA_MailObject = WAUE_AddAttachment($WA_MailObject,"/home/abcdefg/public_html/PDF/".$row_getRecordset1['filename']."");

//Attachment Entries
$WA_MailObject = WAUE_AddAttachment($WA_MailObject,"/home/abcdefg/public_html/PDF/".$row_getRecordset1['filename']."");


should be:


//Attachment Entries
$WA_MailObject = WAUE_AddAttachment($WA_MailObject,"". realpath('/home/abcdefg/public_html/PDF/'.$row_getRecordset1['filename']) . "");

Using your suggested change just now, I get no errors, but no attachment either.

Is the email code below the Recordset?

Maybe add code before that line like:

//Attachment Entries
die(realpath('/home/abcdefg/public_html/PDF/'.$row_getRecordset1['filename']));

That will stop processing the code and write the value to the page. Does the path look correct when you do that?

Yes.
The path is perfect using the die command.

So it appears that the Recordset isn't being passed to the path.
I still don't have an attachment either.
