Sending Files via Email in Laravel: A Simple Guide

As a Laravel developer, you might occasionally need to send files via email, whether it’s for sending reports, documents, or images. While Laravel provides a robust mailing feature through the Mail facade, the process of attaching files can sometimes be tricky. If you're struggling to attach files to your emails in Laravel, you're not alone. In this guide, we'll walk through a common challenge—sending multiple files in one email—and provide a clear solution.

The Challenge

You have an HTML form that allows users to upload files, with a multiple file input handled by jQuery. Once the files are sent to your controller, you can see that the files are being uploaded and recognized correctly. However, when it comes to attaching these files to an email within Laravel, you're experiencing some difficulties—specifically, the files are not being attached.

Here’s a simplified structure of how your current code looks:

While this structure looks good, it doesn't correctly specify where the files are located or their proper names, leading to emails sent without attachments.

The Solution

Let’s break down the solution into clear steps for successfully sending files via email in Laravel:

Step 1: Ensure File Uploads are Accepted

Make sure your form accepts file uploads correctly. Your input should look something like this:

Step 3: Update the Mail Send Function

Key Changes Explained

Public Path: The method public_path() helps you get the correct path to the attached files stored in your public directory. This is crucial for Laravel to locate the files.

Dynamic Mime Type: Instead of hardcoding the MIME type to application/pdf, you can retrieve the mime type dynamically from the uploaded file. This enhances the flexibility of your solution as it supports multiple file types.

Final Thoughts

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully send files via email in your Laravel application. Remember to verify that the files are indeed uploaded to the expected directory and have the correct permissions for easy access.
