CakeEmail Mandril email attachment not getting attached

I'm aware that there are lot of similar questions on stackoverflow about about this problem and I have tried all of them but none seem to work .

I am trying to send an email with a csv attachment from a cron function. My email is getting sent but there is no attachment . Here is my code

$email = new CakeEmail('mandrillSmtp');
$encodedCsv = base64_encode(implode(",",$headers)); 
        //please note that i have debugged encodedCsv. No  errors here

        $email->subject('Report Test');
        $email->from('[email protected]');
        $email->to('[email protected]');
        $email->emailFormat('html');
        $email->attachments=array(
                array(
                    'content' => $encodedCsv,
                    'type' => "text/csv",
                    'name' => 'report.csv'
                )
            );
        $email->send();

Hey guys thanks for all the help . I finally got my code working . thanks @ndm for your reminder that the mandrill api is completely different from CakeEmail(brief moment of dumbness for me). I solved my issue of not being able to attach a file written to the php://temp output stream too by using tmpfile() instead of fopen('php://temp') . for some reason i cant access files written to the temp stream even if i have their uri's Anyway heres my code. hope that it helps someone

$email = new CakeEmail('mandrillSmtp');
if($handle =tmpfile()){
                    fputcsv($handle, $headers); 
                    fputcsv($data)    ;

                }


        $fileMeta = stream_get_meta_data($handle);
        $uri = $fileMeta['uri'];


        $email->subject('Report Test');
        $email->from('[email protected]');
        $email->to('[email protected]');
        $email->emailFormat('html');
        $email->attachments(array('test.csv'=>array('mimetype'=>'text/csv','file' => $uri)));

        $email->send();

        fclose($handle);

If you are trying to attach the CSV file, then you need the path to the CSV file and I suggest you make the attachment array as follows:

 $email->attachments = array(
array('file' => 'pathToCSVFIle/myCSvFile.csv')
        );
