I am looking for an article or book that would show me (using php code) how to export a CSV file that I have created and stored on my host server to an attachment on my email.

I have "successfully" (tested on localhost using Apache and PHP) written using Html5/css3/javascript/php7 code an application that takes data (16 fields) from a form and sends it to the server and saves it into a CSV file on the server. Now I want to receive that CSV file as an email attachment each time a client fills in and submits the form.

What I have tried:

All of the articles that I can find so far are sending data TO a CSV file not FROM a CSV file on the server.

You would need to use PHP mail to generate the email and attach the file to the message before sending. See PHP: mail - Manual[^]
