PHPMailer attachment, doing it without a physical file

AddStringAttachment($string,$filename,$encoding,$type)

eg

Embed Image in Mail without having physical Image File

It always helps to read the docs. The function you're looking for is addStringEmbeddedImage, which does exactly what you want:

$URL = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=Albany,+NY&zoom=13&scale=false&size=600x300&maptype=roadmap&format=png&visual_refresh=true";
$image = file_get_contents($URL);
$mail->addStringEmbeddedImage($image, 'staticMap', 'map.png', 'base64', 'image/png');
$mail->Body = '<img width="600" height="300" src="cid:staticMap">';

There are indeed pros and cons to using embedded images, but data urls have especially poor client compatibility, so are generally the worst option. Dynamically linking to the image may not be reliable with google maps, so you may want to proxy and cache the direct map lookups. This will also be much faster than hitting the API every time, and also more reliable as you can deliver an older version if the API doesn't respond or is slow.

use variable's content as attachment in PHPMailer

$mail->AddStringAttachment($string,$filename,$encoding,$type);

Form a Excel file (PHPExcel) and mail it as an attachment (PHPMailer) without server storing, possible?

To send an attachment without using local files, use the addStringAttachment() method. For example:

$string = $mything->getExcelData();
$mail->addStringAttachment($string, 'myfile.xls');

Internally this will call PHPMailer::filenameToType(), which will set the appropriate application/vnd.ms-excel MIME type for the .xls extension.

In general you probably don't need to worry too much about memory consumption for doing this - PHPExcel itself is far more memory-intensive than simply storing this string temporarily, so if you are running into trouble, you will likely do so before you ever get this far

PHPMailer Sending just One File

I moved the class creation up to be before the file file processing loop, and moved the attachment code in to the loop

<?php 

    $msg = '';
    use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
    include_once 'PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php';
    include_once 'PHPMailer/Exception.php';
    // include_once 'PHPMailer/SMTP.php';

    if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

        $inputZip = $_POST['inputZip'];
        $selectService = $_POST['selectService'];
        $lawnMovingService = $_POST['lawnMovingService'];
        $leafRemovalService = $_POST['leafRemovalService'];
        $snowPlowingService = $_POST['snowPlowingService'];
        $handymanService = $_POST['handymanService'];
        $inputName = $_POST['inputName'];
        $inputEmail = $_POST['inputEmail'];
        $inputPhone = $_POST['inputPhone'];
        $inputMessage = $_POST['inputMessage'];

        $mail = new PHPMailer; //moved here

        if (isset($_FILES['images']['name']) && $_FILES['images']['name'] != '') {
            $destination = "attachment/";
            foreach ($_FILES["images"]["tmp_name"] as $key => $value) {
                $tmp_name = $_FILES["images"]["tmp_name"][$key];
                $name = $destination . basename($_FILES["images"]["name"][$key]);
                move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, $name);
                $mail->addAttachment($name); //attache here
            }
        } else {
            $name = '';
        }

        //For SMTP 
        //$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
        //$mail->isSMTP(); // This line may cause problem
        //$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
        //$mail->Username = "example@gmail.com";
        //$mail->Password = "examplePassword";
        //$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl"; //OR TLS
        //$mail->Port = 465; //TLS : 587

        $mail->addAddress('milan.uptech@gmail.com');
        $mail->setFrom($inputEmail);
        $mail->Subject = 'Service Booking from Website';
        $mail->isHTML(true);
        $mail->Body = $inputMessage;

        if ($mail->send()) {
            header('Location: index.php');
        } else {
            header('Location: contact.php');
        }

        // if(sendemail('milan.uptech@gmail.com', $email, $name, $body, $file)) {
        //      $msg = 'Email Sent!';
        //      sendemail($inputEmail, 'milan.uptech@gmail.com', $inputName, 'We have received your email');
        //  }
    }
