fpdf and phpmailer

[dolcezza]

I am a newbie at php and trying to generate a pdf, then email it.

If I have the output() line it works fine....prompts me to download the pdf and everything is in there.

 

When I add the mail part I get a blank page in the browser and no email. Any suggestions appreciated.

Only posting relevant part of code

 

require('fpdf.php');
$filename="bookingconfirmation.pdf";
//rest of pdf code here

$pdf->Output($filename);

include "libMail/class.phpmailer.php";
$m= new Mail; // create the mail
$m->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$m->Host = "mail.connectingauthors.com"; // SMTP server
$m->From("susan@connectingauthors.com");
$m->To("pixelart@optonline.net");
$m->Subject( "Connecting Authors Booking Confirmation" );
$m->Body( "HellonnPlease find attached ..." ); // set the body
$m->Attach( $filename ) ;
$m->Send(); // send the mail
exit();

You're going to get a blank page since your script doesn't echo anything out. As for why your mail isn't sending its hard to say. try echoing out $m->ErrorInfo; after you send.

Is it possible to have 2 output lines?

One with output() so they can download it directly, then one with a name output($whatever) for emailing?

If you want that to all happen on the same page, You'll need to send the email before you output the pdf. Your pdf library will almost certainly have a method for outputting directly to the browser.
