How i can send file attachment using sendemail API function

[NelsonJPG]

I need to send a pdf to a third party through a custom code, but i cant see how to to attach a file to the API, can you tell if there is a way to achieve what i need. I saw the WHMCS uses Phpmailer but i dont know how to require it and use it to send the mail. Thanks in advance.

 

this is how i send email normally...

 

   $command = "sendemail";
   $adminuser = "admin";
   $values["customtype"] = "general";
   $values["customsubject"] = "example email attachment";
   $values["custommessage"] = "example with file third party";
   $values["id"] = $userid;

   $results = localAPI($command, $values, $adminuser);

 

and this is what i would i like to do...

 

$email = new PHPMailer(); 
$email->From      = 'address1@example.com'; 
$email->FromName  = 'Name'; 
$email->Subject   = 'Message Subject'; 
$email->Body      = $bodytext; 
$email->AddAddress( 'destinationaddress@example.com' ); 

$file_to_attach = 'PATH_TO_FILE_HERE'; 

$email->AddAttachment( $file_to_attach , 'NameOfFile.pdf' ); 

$email->Send();

 

Thanks...

You'll likely have to call phpmailer() directly, the API isn't designed to do what you're after doing.
