File attachements notes and documentation

File attachments support :

If you wish to add file attachments to email notifications, you can use the notify_user function and pass it an "attachments" key, with $params['attachments'] :

    $attachments[] = array(
        'content' => $file_content, // File content
        //'filepath' => $file_content, // Alternate file path for file content retrieval
        'filename' => $file_content, // Attachment file name
        'mimetype' => $file_content, // MIME type of attachment
    );

Note that $attachments is an array, so you can pass several files at once, each with a custom filename and MIME type.

Warning: don't use 'filepath' setting on a production site (not functional yet)
