Sorry if this is a duplicate, the last post disappeared

We have an internal api that sends faxes directly from our database using php mailer. it sends both email and fax. for internal control purposes we need to continue to use this method rather than a new API just for faxes. It sends the fax / cover page, but does not send the pdf attachment.


PHP:

$fax = "888-812-6909";

$mail = new PHPMailer(true); // Passing `true` enables exceptions

$mail->SMTPOptions = array('ssl' => array('verify_peer' => false, 'verify_peer_name' => false));

$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';

$mail->Encoding = "base64";

try {

//Server settings

$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP

$mail->Host = 'localhost'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers

$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // use TLS

$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to


$mail->setFrom($faxFrom);

$mail->addReplyTo($faxFrom);


$sFax2 = $fax . "@rcfax.com";

$mail->addAddress($sFax2); // Add a recipient

$mail->addAttachment($tmpfname . "_bcst.pdf", "Home Report"); // Add attachments


//Content

$sSubject = "BROADCAST " . $home->FacilityName . " - " . $client->getStrName() . " - REFID:" . $row->id; // . " - FLID:" . $fl->id;

$mail->Subject = $sSubject;

$mail->Body = " ";

$mail->isHTML(false);


$mail->send();

} catch (Exception $e) {

}

}
