[PHP] Re: Email with attachment function

[Merlin]

Hi Mark,
don't try to invent the wheel twice. There are great functions for that already 
available. Try to search for phpmailer. Thats a great one.

Hello,
I'm trying to write a function that sends an email with an attachment using
sendmail,
But I can't seem to get it working, the code I currently have is below,
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
I'm probably doing something stupid as the output is what its meant to be
except it isn't divided up (i.e. attachment is text)
