Question

As always here is the place where I have learned a lot. And I have now a new things to learn:

I have a html form:

F         


        

Answer 1

There's a simple way to do this, here you go:

$message->attach(
Swift_Attachment::fromPath('/path/to/image.jpg')->setFilename('myfilename.jpg')
);

That's one way SwiftMail can do this, now just the /tmp file, and turn the above into the following:

Assuming: fileatt is the variable for the $_FILE, ['tmp_name'] actually is the tmp file that PHP creates from the form upload.

$message->attach(
Swift_Attachment::fromPath($_FILES['fileatt']['tmp_name'])->setFilename($_FILES['fileatt']['name'])
);

More information on SwiftMail Attachments can be found on this docs page

More information on $_FILES can be found here on w3schools, despite I don't like w3schools, this page is solid.
