Rob Allen has a new post today showing you how to use the ZendMail component of the Zend Framework 2 to send attachments with multipart emails. A multipart email allows you to combine both the HTML and plain text versions of the content into a single email.

I've written before about how to send an HTML email with a text alternative in ZendMail, but recently needed to send an attachment with my multipart email. With help from various sources on the Internet, this is how to do it.

He includes the full code for the example first: a "sendEmail" function that sets up the MIME and plain-text parts and uses the "MimeMessage" and "MimePart" objects to attach the file. He goes through each of the parts of the script and describes what's happening and how that changes the content of the email. You can find out more about the ZendMail component in this section on the Zend Framework manual.
