            $email->addAttachment(
                $file_encoded,
                "application/pdf",
                "another.pdf",
                "attachment"
            );

Hi @buddyy93,

Could you please send your attachment to [email protected] so that we can try and reproduce the error?

Thanks!

Hi @buddyy93, it looks like your content get's base64 encoded twice. Just fiddling around with this library to add ICS invite as a attachment. I found out that the content gets encoded twice it it was already encoded, so this should work for you:

$file_encoded = file_get_contents($attachment);
$email->addAttachment(
    $file_encoded,
    "application/pdf",
    "another.pdf",
    "attachment"
);

@rcooo Thank you so much!

They might want to change that in their PHP examples..
