'attachments' => [ 'assets/images/favicon.png', $form->data('filefield'), ],

but it didnt work. There is this error:

So how can i add uploaded files as attachments to the email?

The added favicon to the mail is sent as attachment, but not the uploaded file.

What is tofiles() supposed to do? data('filefield') returns the item from the $_FILES array so it might work like this:

'attachments' => [$form->data('filefield')['tmp_name']],

Ah okay, it works this way, but the attached files get the tmp_name as filename and these are e.g.: "phpmWbJ1V" without the extension .jpg or .pdf.

Not very easy to explain this to customers :)

'name' instead of 'tmp_name' doesn't work :/

You could:

• Use move_uploaded_file to move the file to a temporary location with the updated filename, send it via email and then delete it.
• Use the Uniform upload action to move the file to a temporary location, send it and then delete it.
• Open a pull request to Kirby that implements the second argument of addAttachment here so that you can choose a different file name for the attachment.

Please reopen if this is still relevant.
