I tried this code to attach a file in CI. This is working:$this->load->library('email');$this->email->from('me@mymail.com', 'vignesh');$this->email->subject('Email Test with attachment');$this->email->message('Testing the email class IN CODEIGNITER');$this->email->attach('/path/to/attachment1.jpg');$this->email->send();But I want to attach a file from an external URL:$this->email->attach('http://mydomain.in/path/to/attachment1.jpg');
Add email attachments by URL in CodeIgniter
php;email;codeigniter
No, it isn't possible, you'll need to download the file first. Using Phil Sturgeon's cURL library for CodeIgniter you should be able to get the file$this->load->library('curl');$img = $this->curl->simple_get('http://mydomain.in/path/to/attachment1.jpg');$filename = basename($img);write_file(./upload/path/ . $filename, $img);and then include it $this->email->attach('/path/to/attachment1.jpg');You could later build in caching to check if the file was already downloaded / exists so it doesn't need to fetch it again.
