Get Invoice location

  • I’m trying to send pdf invoices as attachments to customers using the method wp_mail(). The method will look something like this:

    $attachments = array(WP_CONTENT_DIR .'/uploads/2019/08/your-pdf-fine-name.pdf');
$to          = [email protected];
$subject     = "PDF in wp_mail";
$message     = "Please check the attached PDF.";
$headers     = 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n";
wp_mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers, $attachments);

    The attachment variable should be equal to the location of the PDF invoice. How do I get the location of an already generated PDF invoice using an order id?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi @waffeltje

    Using the free version of the plugin the files are store in a temporary folder, see here.

    Hi Alex,
    Thanks for the reply.

    I now have the following bit of code:

      $order_id = 6107; 
  $invoice = wcpdf_get_document( 'invoice', $order_id );
  $filename = $invoice->get_filename();
  $tmp_path = WPO_WCPDF()->main->get_tmp_path( 'attachments' );
  $pdf_path = $tmp_path . $filename;
  $attachments = array($pdf_path );
  $message = "Path: ".$pdf_path .".";
  $headers = array('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');
  $headers[] = 'From: Test Sender <[email protected]>';
  $headers[] = 'Content-Type: text/html';
  $headers[] = 'charset=UTF-8';
  wp_mail('[email protected]', 'Attachment test', $message, $headers, $attachments);

    The email doesn’t contain the pdf invoice yet. When I check the folder in which the PDF should be located it is empty. Probably because of the temporary nature of the folder. Do you know how I can generate the PDF on te fly and attach it to the email?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi @waffeltje,

    You should be able to generate the PDF like this:

    if ( $order = wc_get_order( $order_id ) ) {
    $invoice = wcpdf_get_invoice( $order, true );
    $pdf = $invoice->get_pdf();
}
