# Attachments
Here is an example of attaching a text file to your email, assuming that text file `my_file.txt` is located in the same directory. You can use the `addAttachments` method to add an array attachments.
```php
/sendgrid-php.php';
use SendGrid\Mail\Mail;
$email = new Mail();
$email->setFrom("test@example.com", "Example User");
$email->setSubject("Sending with Twilio SendGrid is Fun");
$email->addTo("test@example.com", "Example User");
$email->addContent("text/plain", "and easy to do anywhere, even with PHP");
$email->addContent(
"text/html", "and easy to do anywhere, even with PHP"
);
$file_encoded = base64_encode(file_get_contents('my_file.txt'));
$email->addAttachment(
$file_encoded,
"application/text",
"my_file.txt",
"attachment"
);
$sendgrid = new \SendGrid(getenv('SENDGRID_API_KEY'));
try {
$response = $sendgrid->send($email);
print $response->statusCode() . "\n";
print_r($response->headers());
print $response->body() . "\n";
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Caught exception: '. $e->getMessage(). "\n";
}
```
# Attaching a File from Box
You can attach a file from [Box](https://www.box.com) to your emails.
Because there is no official Box SDK for PHP, this example requires
[firebase/php-jwt](https://github.com/firebase/php-jwt) to generate a
[JSON Web Token](https://jwt.io) assertion. Before using this code, you should
set up a JWT application on [Box](https://developer.box.com/docs/setting-up-a-jwt-app).
For more information about authenticating with JWT, see
[this page](https://developer.box.com/docs/construct-jwt-claim-manually).
After completing the setup tutorial, you will want to make sure your app’s
configuration settings have at least the following options enabled:
**Application Access**
* Enterprise
**Application Scopes**
* Read all files and folders stored in Box
* Read and write all files and folders stored in Box
* Manage users
**Advanced Features**
* Perform Actions as Users
Remember to reauthorize your app
[here](https://app.box.com/master/settings/openbox) after making any changes to
your app’s JWT scopes.
```php
'RS256',
'typ' => 'JWT',
'kid' => $boxConfig->boxAppSettings->appAuth->publicKeyID

$claims = array(
'iss' => $boxConfig->boxAppSettings->clientID,

'aud' => 'https://api.box.com/oauth2/token',
'jti' => bin2hex(openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(16)),
'exp' => time() + 50
);
$privateKey = openssl_get_privatekey(
$boxConfig->boxAppSettings->appAuth->privateKey,
$boxConfig->boxAppSettings->appAuth->passphrase

# Attaching a File from S3
You can attach a file from [Amazon S3 storage](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/) to your emails. In addition to sendgrid-php, this requires the [AWS SDK for PHP](https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-php/). Please follow the [Getting Started](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-php/v3/developer-guide/getting-started_index.html) tutorial at Amazon if you haven’t set up your AWS SDK installation yet.
```php
'latest',
'region' => 'us-east-1' // This should match the region of your S3 bucket.
]);
try {
// Get the object.
// See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/RetrieveObjSingleOpPHP.html
$result = $s3->getObject([
'Bucket' => $bucket,
'Key' => $keyname
]);
$keyExplode = explode('/',$keyname);
$attachmentFilename = end($keyExplode);
$attachmentContent = base64_encode($result['Body']);
$attachmentContentType = $result['ContentType'];
$email = new \SendGrid\Mail\Mail();
$email->setFrom("test@example.com", "Example User");
$email->setSubject("Attaching a File from S3");
$email->addTo("test@example.com", "Example User");

For this example, we assume you have created a [dynamic transactional template](https://sendgrid.com/docs/ui/sending-email/how-to-send-an-email-with-dynamic-transactional-templates/) in the UI or via the API. Following is the template content we used for testing.
Template ID (replace with your own):
```text
d-13b8f94fbcae4ec6b75270d6cb59f932
```
Email Subject:
```text
{{ subject }}
```

```html
Hello {{ name }},
I'm glad you are trying out the template feature!
I hope you are having a great day in {{ city }} :)

# Send an Email With Twilio Email (Pilot)
### 1. Obtain a Free Twilio Account
Sign up for a free Twilio account [here](https://www.twilio.com/try-twilio?source=sendgrid-php).
### 2. Set Up Your Environment Variables
The Twilio API allows for authentication using with either an API key/secret or your Account SID/Auth Token. You can create an API key [here](https://twil.io/get-api-key) or obtain your Account SID and Auth Token [here](https://twil.io/console).
Once you have those, follow the steps below based on your operating system.
#### Linux/Mac
```bash
echo "export TWILIO_API_KEY='YOUR_TWILIO_API_KEY'" > twilio.env
echo "export TWILIO_API_SECRET='YOUR_TWILIO_API_SECRET'" >> twilio.env
# or
echo "export TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID='YOUR_TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID'" > twilio.env
echo "export TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN='YOUR_TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN'" >> twilio.env
```
Then:
```bash
echo "twilio.env" >> .gitignore
source ./twilio.env
```
#### Windows
Temporarily set the environment variable (accessible only during the current CLI session):
```bash
set TWILIO_API_KEY=YOUR_TWILIO_API_KEY
set TWILIO_API_SECRET=YOUR_TWILIO_API_SECRET
: or
set TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID=YOUR_TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID
set TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=YOUR_TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN
```
Or permanently set the environment variable (accessible in all subsequent CLI sessions):
```bash
setx TWILIO_API_KEY "YOUR_TWILIO_API_KEY"
setx TWILIO_API_SECRET "YOUR_TWILIO_API_SECRET"
: or
setx TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID "YOUR_TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID"
setx TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN "YOUR_TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN"
```
### 3. Initialize the Twilio Email Client
```php
$twilioEmail = new \TwilioEmail(\getenv('TWILIO_API_KEY'), \getenv('TWILIO_API_SECRET'));
// or
$twilioEmail = new \TwilioEmail(\getenv('TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID'), \getenv('TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN'));
```
This client has the same interface as the `SendGrid` client.
# Send an SMS Message
First, follow the above steps for creating a Twilio account and setting up environment variables with the proper credentials.
Then, install the Twilio Helper Library.
```bash
composer require twilio/sdk
```
Finally, send a message.
```php
messages->create(
'8881231234', // Text this number
[
'from' => '9991231234', // From a valid Twilio number
'body' => 'Hello from Twilio!'
]
);
```
For more information, please visit the [Twilio SMS PHP documentation](https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/quickstart/php).
# How to Set up a Domain Authentication
You can find documentation for how to setup a domain authentication via the UI [here](https://sendgrid.com/docs/ui/account-and-settings/how-to-set-up-domain-authentication/) and via API [here](USAGE.md#sender-authentication).
Find more information about all of Twilio SendGrid's authentication related documentation [here](https://sendgrid.com/docs/ui/account-and-settings/).
# How to View Email Statistics
You can find documentation for how to view your email statistics via the UI [here](https://app.sendgrid.com/statistics) and via API [here](USAGE.md#stats).
Alternatively, we can post events to a URL of your choice via our [Event Webhook](https://sendgrid.com/docs/for-developers/tracking-events/event/) about events that occur as Twilio SendGrid processes your email.
# How to Use the Email Activity Feed API
In order to gain access to the Email Activity Feed API, you must [purchase](https://app.sendgrid.com/settings/billing/addons/email_activity) additional email activity history. To learn about Sendgrid's API to download information from the Email Activity feed, get started [here](https://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/Web_API_v3/Tutorials/getting_started_email_activity_api.html).
# Deploying to Heroku
Use the button below to instantly setup your own Simple instance for sending email using SendGrid on Heroku.
# Google App Engine Installation
Google App Engine installations with Composer require the creation of file `php.ini` in the base folder(the same directory as the `app.yaml` file). You can read more about this file [here](https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/php/config/php_ini).
The file `php.ini` should contain:
```ini
google_app_engine.enable_curl_lite = 1
```
