Re: Attach generated pdf to email as attachment

[BrianS]

If your mailer support adding attachments that are strings then you can use $rendered = $dompdf->output(). This method sets the variable to the content of the PDF. So in PHPMailer you would do something like this:

$phpmailer->AddStringAttachment($dompdf->output(),'mydoc.pdf','base64','application/pdf').

If I was to attach the generated pdf as an attachment with phpmailer or wordpress' wp_mail function, would I have to save it to the server first then reference the saved server file, or can I skip saving to the server and add it to the mail function by referencing a variable such as $rendered = $dompdf->output() or $dompdf->stream()?

Diplay dompdf output inside wp_mail $body

 

Email needs a text body, for mail readers that cannot understand PDF.

PDF must be an attachment. Have you read wp_mail() reference?
