How to send an attachment with mail()

Question

I want to send an attachment with email, is it possible? My client has registered email with google. This is what I have so far:

$to = "somebody@example.com";
$subject = "My subject";
$txt = "Hello world!";
$headers = "From: webmaster@example.com" . "\r\n" .
"CC: somebodyelse@example.com";

mail($to,$subject,$txt,$headers);
?>

The simplest solution is to use PHPMailer. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12301358/send-attachments-with-php-mail — christophetd, Apr 08 '15 at 08:12

Use PHPMailer class,

 include 'PHPMailer.php';
    $email = new PHPMailer();
    $email->From      = 'you@example.com';
    $email->FromName  = 'Your Name';
    $email->Subject   = 'Message Subject';
    $email->Body      = $bodytext;
    $email->AddAddress( 'destinationaddress@example.com' );

$file_to_attach = 'PATH_OF_YOUR_FILE_HERE';

$email->AddAttachment( $file_to_attach , 'NameOfFile.pdf' );

return $email->Send();
