Email TCPDF Generated PDF file with php mail function

PDF file is being generated by tcpdf library but I cant attach it to email. It sends Email with an empty 1kb PDF file.

$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Receipt';
$repEmail = '[email protected]';

$fileName = 'receipt.pdf';
$fileatt = $pdf->Output($fileName, 'S');
$attachment = chunk_split($fileatt);
$eol = PHP_EOL;
$separator = md5(time());

$headers = 'From: Sender <'.$repEmail.'>'.$eol;
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' .$eol;
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"".$separator."\"";

$message = "--".$separator.$eol;
$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit".$eol.$eol;
$message .= "This is a MIME encoded message.".$eol;

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

$message .= "--".$separator.$eol;
$message .= "Content-Type: application/pdf; name=\"".$fileName."\"".$eol; 
$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64".$eol;
$message .= "Content-Disposition: attachment".$eol.$eol;
$message .= $attachment.$eol;
$message .= "--".$separator."--";

if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
echo "Email sent";
}

else {
echo "Email failed";
}

I know its much easier with phpmailer but I'm required to do it with mail function and dont use any library. Any help is appreciated.

The solution is on link that vodich sent.

Your code is correct. You have to change one line:

$fileatt = $pdf->Output($fileName, 'S');

with

$fileatt = $pdf->Output($fileName, 'E');
