Can't receive excel attachment after sending through email












1















I am trying to generate excel file and send it as an attachment through an email. Here code for generating excel file:



/** Include PHPExcel */
require_once 'PHPExcel/Classes/PHPExcel/IOFactory.php';
include('inc/database_connection.php');
$conn = mysqli_connect(DATABASE_HOST, DATABASE_USER, DATABASE_PASSWORD, DATABASE_NAME);

$sql2 = '
SELECT t2.*
FROM (
SELECT staff_id, projectNo, longname, username, title, process, creation_time as min
FROM archived
WHERE creation_time IN (SELECT min(creation_time) FROM archived)
) t1
RIGHT JOIN (
SELECT staff_id, projectNo, longname, username, title, process, creation_time as max
FROM archived
WHERE creation_time IN (SELECT max(creation_time) FROM archived)
) t2
ON t1.staff_id = t2.staff_id AND
t1.projectNo = t2.projectNo AND
t1.process = t2.process
WHERE t1.staff_id is null
';
$query2 = mysqli_query($conn, $sql2);
// Instantiate a new PHPExcel object
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
// Set the active Excel worksheet to sheet 0
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
// Initialise the Excel row number
$rowCount = 1;
// Iterate through each result from the SQL query in turn
// We fetch each database result row into $row in turn

while ($data2 = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query2))
{
//$oldest_date=$data2["min"];
$newest_date=$data2["max"];
$staffid=$data2["staff_id"];
$longnm=$data2["longname"];
$usrnm=$data2["username"];
$projNo=$data2["projectNo"];
$ttle=$data2["title"];
$proc=$data2["process"];

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('A'.$rowCount, $staffid);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('B'.$rowCount, $longnm);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('C'.$rowCount, $usrnm);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('D'.$rowCount, $projNo);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('E'.$rowCount, $ttle);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('F'.$rowCount, $proc);
// Increment the Excel row counter
$rowCount++;
}

$file_name = 'ExcelChanges';
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel5');
$objWriter->save($file_name.'.xls');


And then i am trying to send email:



$to = 'powqb@mail.com';
$subject = 'Test email with attachment';
$random_hash = md5(date('r', time()));
$message = 'test';

$headers = "From: webmaster@example.comrnReply-To: webmaster@example.com";
$headers .= "rnContent-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="PHP-mixed-".$random_hash.""";

$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($file_name.'.xls')));

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


I get the message but its empty. I got only word test and no attachment inside. What can be a problem?
