attachmentssource public

attachments( string|array|null $attachments null )

Add attachments to the email message

Attachments can be defined in a few forms depending on how much control you need:

Attach a single file:

$email->attachments('path/to/file');

Attach a file with a different filename:

$email->attachments(['custom_name.txt' => 'path/to/file.txt']);

Attach a file and specify additional properties:

$email->attachments(['custom_name.png' => [
     'file' => 'path/to/file',
     'mimetype' => 'image/png',
     'contentId' => 'abc123',
     'contentDisposition' => false
   ]
]);

Attach a file from string and specify additional properties:

$email->attachments(['custom_name.png' => [
     'data' => file_get_contents('path/to/file'),
     'mimetype' => 'image/png'
   ]
]);

The contentId key allows you to specify an inline attachment. In your email text, you can use <img src="cid:abc123" /> to display the image inline.

The contentDisposition key allows you to disable the Content-Disposition header, this can improve attachment compatibility with outlook email clients.

$config = ConnectionManager::parseDsn($dsn);

$dsn = 'Cake\Log\Engine\FileLog://?types=notice,info,debug&file=debug&path=LOGS';
$config = Log::parseDsn($dsn);

$dsn = 'smtp://user:secret@localhost:25?timeout=30&client=null&tls=null';
$config = Email::parseDsn($dsn);

$dsn = 'file:///?className=\My\Cache\Engine\FileEngine';
$config = Cache::parseDsn($dsn);

$dsn = 'File://?prefix=myapp_cake_core_&serialize=true&duration=+2 minutes&path=/tmp/persistent/';
$config = Cache::parseDsn($dsn);

For all classes, the value of scheme is set as the value of both the className unless they have been otherwise specified.
