This *may* be another instance of an issue I found where a third party
program is invoked to access the temporary file. And that is, that the
scope of the temporary file only exists within PHP itself. It s not
written to disk or to the operating system.
I solved this by copying the temporary file using copy() and then
invoking (in my case) an SQL LOAD_FILE command on the _copy_.
Given that the php mailer class should exist entirely within PHP, this
should not be an issue in this case, but it may be if it invokes some
other program to process the attached file.
