How can PHP developers efficiently handle sending emails with attachments using PHP-Mailer or SwiftMailer?

Sending emails with attachments using PHP-Mailer or SwiftMailer can be efficiently handled by first creating an instance of the mailer class, setting the necessary configurations (such as SMTP settings), adding the attachment file path to the email, and then sending the email. 

// Using PHP-Mailer
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;

$mail = new PHPMailer(true);

try {
    $mail->isSMTP();
    $mail->Host = 'smtp.example.com';
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true;
    $mail->Username = 'your@example.com';
    $mail->Password = 'yourpassword';
    $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
    $mail->Port = 587;

    $mail->setFrom('from@example.com', 'Your Name');
    $mail->addAddress('recipient@example.com', 'Recipient Name');

    $mail->addAttachment('/path/to/attachment.pdf');

    $mail->isHTML(true);
    $mail->Subject = 'Subject';
    $mail->Body = 'Email body content';

    $mail->send();
    echo 'Email sent successfully';
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
