Use Simple php mail function to send mail and dompdf to convert html to pdf will work fine.

 <?php $content="<html>html content here</html>" $html2pdf = Yii::app()->ePdf->HTML2PDF(); $html2pdf->WriteHTML($content); $to = "[email protected]"; $from = "[email protected]"; $subject = "Thank you for your Contribution"; $message = "<p>Your Message</p>"; $separator = md5(time()); $eol = PHP_EOL; $filename = "example.pdf"; $pdfdoc = $html2pdf->Output('', 'S'); $attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode($pdfdoc)); $headers = "From: " . $from . $eol; $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0" . $eol; $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"" . $separator . "\"" . $eol . $eol; $body = "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" . $eol; $body .= "This is a MIME encoded message." . $eol; $body .= "--" . $separator . $eol; $body .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"" . $eol; $body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit" . $eol . $eol; $body .= $message . $eol; $body .= "--" . $separator . $eol; $body .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"" . $filename . "\"" . $eol; $body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" . $eol; $body .= "Content-Disposition: attachment" . $eol . $eol; $body .= $attachment . $eol; $body .= "--" . $separator . "--"; mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers); ?>

+1 for the answer and noc2spam's comment. I don't get it, OPs ask about "how to send email with PHP's mail command" and many answers are like "don't use mail, use something easier"!

Start using Swiftmailer, your life will be easier.

Use example :

require_once('swift/lib/swift_required.php'); $transport = Swift_MailTransport::newInstance(); $mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport); $message = Swift_Message::newInstance() ->setFrom(array($from)) ->setTo(array($to)) ->setEncoder(Swift_Encoding::get7BitEncoding()) ->setSubject($subject) ->setBody($body, 'text/html') ->addPart(strip_tags($body), 'text/plain') ->attach(Swift_Attachment::fromPath($filename)) ; $mailer->send($message);

My code working fine except for pdf file. can you please help me to edit my code?
I had a problem while placing my code in this website. So that it is looking untidy. Sorry for that. Anyway Thanks for your help.
Thank You friend. I solved the problem. I changed content type from application/pdf to application/octet-stream. Now it is working fine.
Not terribly helpful if you don't want to/can't use swift
If you "can't" use it, then download it source, and view how it is done.

<?php //define the receiver of the email $to = '[email protected]'; //define the subject of the email $subject = 'Test email with attachment'; //create a boundary string.
