Send file from form

I need send a file (pdf) from a contact form to a email.

For now I can send the email with a empty pdf file.

This is the code that I have in my controller. Thanks!

public function send(ContactFormRequest $request)
{
    $data      = $request->all();


    Mail::send('emails.contact', $data, function ($message) use ($data) {

        $message->from('[email protected]', 'Contact Form');

        $message->to('[email protected]')->subject('test');

        if($data['document'] != '')
        {
            $message->attachData($data['document'], $data['document']->getClientOriginalName());

        }


    });


    return "Your email has been sent successfully";

}

To attach a file you can use below options :

// Attach a file from location
$message->attach($pathToFile, array $options = []);

// Attach a file from a raw $data string...
$message->attachData($data, $name, array $options = []);

Refer below link : Sending a file via form to email with Laravel (Localhost)

Now it work properly.

I changed 

$message->attachData($data['document'], $data['document']->getClientOriginalName());

by

$message->attach( $data['document']->getRealPath(), [
                            'as' => $data['document']->getClientOriginalName(), 
                            'mime' => $data['document']->getMimeType()
                  ]);

Are you using PHPMailer?

To use PHPMailer:

  • Download the PHPMailer script from here: http://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer

  • Extract the archive and copy the script's folder to a convenient place in your project.

  • Include the main script file -- require_once('path/to/file/class.phpmailer.php');

Set the Headers:

 $header .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"".$filename."\"\r\n"; 
 $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";
 $header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$filename."\"\r\n\r\n";

Also: PHPMailer, provides this itself, 

$email = new PHPMailer();
$file_to_attach = 'filepath';
$email->AddAttachment($file_to_attach , 'filename + file extension');
$email->Send();
