PHPMailer::addAttachment() │ public │ WP 1.0

Add an attachment from a path on the filesystem. Never use a user-supplied path to a file! Returns false if the file could not be found or read. Explicitly does not support passing URLs; PHPMailer is not an HTTP client. If you need to do that, fetch the resource yourself and pass it in via a local file or string.

Method of the class: PHPMailer{}

No Hooks.

Return

true|false.

Usage

$PHPMailer = new PHPMailer();
$PHPMailer->addAttachment(;
