[FX.php List] Email attachments in PHP

[Andrew Denman]

If all you're doing is creating a text file with xml the file functions are
all you need:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.fwrite.php

(from the page linked above:)
$fp = fopen('\path\to\data.txt', 'w');
$text = '<xml>\n';
...
$text .= '</xml>\n';
fwrite($fp, $text);
fclose($fp);

Even better, if you have PHP5 you just need one function:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.file-put-contents.php

$text = '<xml>\n';
...
$text .= '</xml>\n';
$fp = file_put_contents('\path\to\data.txt', $text);

And then use the swiftmailer code for attachments, using the
'\path\to\data.txt' as your file. I've not used it so I can't provide an
example here.

I know when we were testing it, we were able to attach to it. I don't  
think it would be any big different to create, say, a PDF attachment  
on the fly and then attach it to an email....
