Magento – how to Send an EMail with attachement in custom module

magento-1.8php-5.4phpstorm

I'm new to magento I created custom module for customer quote request, In that after filling quote request we need to send an email. So that I wrote fallowing code.

I add the Add Quote button in below form.

design->frontentd->Test->default->template->catalog->product->list.phtml

<p><button type="button" title="<?php echo $this->__('Add to Quote') ?>" class="button btn-cart" onclick="setLocation('<?php echo $this->getAddToCartUrl($_product) ?>')"><span><span><?php echo $this->__('Add to Quote') ?></span></span></button></p>

when customer click I navigate the design->frontend->Test->default->template->checkout->cart->test.phtml file, this design code below.

<form action="<?php echo $this->getUrl('checkout/quote/sendMail') ?>" method="post">

    <div style="border-color: red;">
        <div class="page-title">
            <h1>Request For Quote</h1>
        <div class="fieldset">
            <h2 class="legend">RFQ Requirements</h2>

           </table>

    </div>
  </div>
</form>

In app\code\core\Mage\Checkout\controllers I created QuoteController.php this code is below.

<?php

class Mage_Checkout_QuoteController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
{
    function indexAction()
    {
        $this->loadLayout();
        $this->_initLayoutMessages('customer/session');
        $this->getLayout()->getBlock('head')->setTitle($this->__('Request for Quote'));
        $this->renderLayout();
        Mage::log("Request for quote");
    }

    public function sendMailAction()
    {
        //send Mail
        Mage::log("Send Mail");
       $to="dotnet@gmail.com";
        $com_name = $_POST['company'];
        $contact_name = $_POST['contact_name'];
        $pro_title = $_POST['project_title'];
        $phone_tel = $_POST['phone'];
        $email = $_POST['email'];
        $date = $_POST['date'];
        $bud_status = $_POST['budget_status'];
        $comment = $_POST['overview'];

               $mime_boundary="==Multipart_Boundary_x".md5(mt_rand())."x";

               $headers = "From:$email\r\n" .
                   "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" .
                   "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\r\n" .
                   " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

               $subjects = "Request For Quote " . "From : $email";

               $subject="Details From : $subjects";

               $message="Company Name: $com_name\r\n".
                   "Contact Name:  $contact_name\r\n".
                   "Mobile No.: $phone_tel\r\n".
                   "Email: $email\r\n".
                   "Project Title: $pro_title\r\n " .
                   "Estimated Date: $date\r\n " .
                   "Budget Status: $bud_status\r\n " .
                   "Comments : $comment\r\n";


               $message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n\r\n" .
                   "--{$mime_boundary}\r\n" .
                   "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n" .
                   "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n" .
                   $message . "\r\n\r\n";

               $message.="--{$mime_boundary}--\n";

               @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

        Mage::log("Send Mail End");

    }

}

when customer hit the Send Request button I call the sendMailAction() action but the mail is not sending.

even though I configure the mail settings in admin panel also but it's not sending mail.

can anyone tell me where I went wrong & tell me the how to attach if any files is there?

Hello you can use the below code for attachment.

you can use zend and this code is tested.

require 'app/Mage.php';
umask( 0 );
Mage :: app( "default" );
$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$mail->setType(Zend_Mime::MULTIPART_RELATED);
$mail->setBodyHtml($html_body);
$mail->setFrom('support@example.com', 'Example');
$mail->addTo('dev.amitbera@gmail.com', 'Amit');
$mail->setSubject('Sending email using Zend Framework');
$dir = Mage::getBaseDir();
$path = $dir.DS.'var'.DS.'docs'.DS.'test.csv';
$file = $mail->createAttachment(file_get_contents($path));
$file ->type        = 'text/csv';
$file ->disposition = Zend_Mime::DISPOSITION_INLINE;
$file ->encoding    = Zend_Mime::ENCODING_BASE64;
$file ->filename    = 'test.csv';
$mail->send();

There is no way to configure magento to use something else for sending mails than the builtin mail(), but ASchroder implemented something for this:

Magento SMTP Pro Extension

Admin Grid View Not Working in Magento – Custom Module Fix

I cant see any menu codes here. So provide us with adminhtml.xml if any.

However I will give you my random thoughts here. Your admin route is setup like this.

 <routers>
    <pets>
        <use>admin</use>
        <args>
            <module>Ffriends_Pets</module>
            <frontName>pets</frontName>
        </args>
    </pets>
</routers>

What this do is setuping an admin router for your module. It has no problem as of now. But this will leads all of your module's url (admin side) looks like this

  www.domain.com/pets/controller/method

But if you have a look on all of admin urls, it follows this convention

  www.domain.com/admin/controller/method

If you need the same effect, then you need to change your admin router setup like this.

<admin>
    <routers>
        <adminhtml>
            <args>
                <modules>
                    <ffriends_pets before="Mage_Adminhtml">Ffriends_Pets_Adminhtml</ffriends_pets >
                </modules>
            </args>
        </adminhtml>
    </routers>
</admin>

Second point comes in layout xml file. As per your current configuration, your layout xml file looks good. However if you adopt the method that I put forward, then there is slight change comes in layout xml file. Layout handle that you are currently using pets_adminhtml_pets_index will change to adminhtml_pets_index. This is because instead of pets router configuration now we are using adminhtml router configuration which is defined inside the core module Mage_Adminhtml.

Now as per the layout xml and configuration, there should be a controller present in your module. It would be

File : app/code/local/Ffriends/Pets/controllers/Adminhtml/PetsController.php

<?php
class Ffriends_Pets_Adminhtml_PetsController extends Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action
{
     public function indexAction()
     {
         $this->loadLayout();
         $this->renderLayout();
     }
}

Without this controller, nothing is going to show in admin side.

Side Note :- In order to have a custom menu, you need additional configurations. It will be normally do in adminhtml.xml file. There are plenty of tutorials available outside for set uping a menu. So google it.
