I have a macro that tries to send two different emails
to me when a video camera motion is detected.
The first sends an SMS message via one ISP and the
second entry in the macro tries via a different ISP to
send a standard email with an attached jpg (camera
image)file.
The SMS transmission works OK but the email with
attached file never goes out.
My command string is...
if(ph_getglobal_s("CAM2FLAG")="1",ph_sendemailfile("mylo
gin@yahoo.com","Motion inHouse","Motion Detected on
Camera2...","http://spinfarm.xxxx.com:8000/cam_2.jpg"),0
)
where "mylogin" and "xxxx" are changed to protect the
innocent!
This URL as an image source does not work. If I
substitute a standard jpg image file on the PH server
computer, the email transmits OK, but with the web based
file (which is the only way I can access my camera's
dynamic web page)the email attempt fails.
Is there any way I can grab the http based dynamic file
and attach it to the email?

I believe that you would need to grab and save the file via ph_saveitcurl, then email that.
Code:
Formula [LOCAL1] ph_saveitcurl("http://spinfarm.xxxx.com:8000/cam_2.jpg", "c:\cam_2.jpg",1,5)
ph_sendemailfile("mylogin@yahoo.com","Motion in House","Motion Detected on Camera2...","c:\cam_2.jpg") |

OMG!
Is there anything that PH can't do?
I'm almost blown away. That is an amazing function
addition and beyond my expectations.
I'll give 'er a try
THANKS!

TonyNo -
You are pure genius!
It works flawlessly. You can't even begin to imagine
how happy I am! I have been wanting to be at this point
for years.
Thanks to webcamXP and PH developers working together,
it is now possible to use webcamXP to sense camera
motion or sounds and send a trigger message to PH. From
inside PH I can now create macros (that I can control
via the Control Center) to send SMS messages and/or
email messages with camera images to my iPhone.
Since I also use the Safari browser on the iPhone to
access my home web server, I can sense all lighting as
well as control it, plus house temp.
Next is to get sensors in our various freezers to
monitor their temperatures too. A few years ago we lost
over $1000 of meat when a brownout caused the freezer
compressor motor to fail and we came home to a stinky
awefull mess.
But of all of it, this new control over cameras is now
the best and baddest of it all.
 Thanks again for your terrific help.

Well, now, I wouldn't say that. 
You're welcome, and have fun!
