[SOLVED] Image to attachment

[Guest]

I have a gif image created on the fly that I want to send as an attachment is there a way that I can do that without storing a temporary file?

[MasterACE14]

I believe so. have a go at it yourself first and post what you got so far.

[Guest]

I can do it with the temp file but cannot figure out a way without.

I was looking more into imagejpeg to see if I could store the jpeg into a variable but all it returns is a bool or I could store it in a file.

 

bool imagejpeg  ( resource $image  [, string $filename  [, int $quality  ]] )

 

so that is completely useless im running out of ideas does anyone know a way without a temp file?

I'm working on it...

[Guest]

Oh thank you dont go out of your way though I just wondered if someone knew it off there head/

[MasterACE14]

lol, I'm willing to look into it. Educates you, as well as me 

 

I want to make sure I understand what your after.

 

You're sending a e-mail through PHP and want to attach a GIF image you have on your webhost? or the image is dynamically made with PHP ?

[Guest]

I think im on to somthing

 

I have found this.

 

   ob_start();
  echo "here is a string";
  $string=ob_get_contents();
  ob_end_clean();

 

I am going to try it out then ill let you know what happens.

As for your question its a dynamically made gif that im tring to attach.

[MasterACE14]

ok, I don't know if that can be used for this circumstance, but I do use it however with headers.

 

As for your question its a dynamically made gif that im tring to attach.

 

ok. That does make it slightly more tricky.

[Guest]

It worked perfectly!!!

 

	ob_start();
imagejpeg($dst_img);
$string=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

$mail->AddStringAttachment($string, "YourPhoto.jpeg");

$mail->Send();

 

I am using php mailer to send it out.

 

I am working on putting it up on http://www.usualbeings.com/wallpapers if you want to check on my progress. Its how im sending it to phones.
