[FX.php List] Email attachments in PHP

[Alex Gates]

Hi Bob -

I've never done this - and I have limited experience with fopen(), but 
I'd look into this route:


Create the text file
http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php

<?php
$fp = fopen('path/to/data.txt', 'x+');
fwrite($fp, 'here is the text for your file');
fclose($fp);
?>


Then attach and send using swift mailer
