Hi gang:
Anyone have an email script that allows attachments they would share?

I've been trying to figure this out and everything I've tried has
failed. I've looked at over a dozen scripts that don't work. I'm about
to pull out what hair I have left.

Cheers (I think),

I'm still using pear::mail (rhaah...) so here is an example using 
pear::mail.

So let's say you have:
- text only version of the body in $body
- an html version of it in $html
- and a file to attach to the email whose path is $attached_file

Something like this (extracting from a class I use) should help you:

//...

$params["host"] = ...;
$params["port"] = ...;
$params["auth"] = ...;
$params["username"] = ...;
$params["password"] = ...;
$params["localhost"] = ...;
$params["timeout"] = ...;
$params["verp"] = ...;
$params["debug"] = ...;

$smtp = Mail::factory("smtp",$params);

//...

$random_hash = "0123456789"; // :))

$mailHeaders = array();

// Setup other headers in $mailHeaders (i.e. "From", "to")

$mailHeaders["MIME-Version"] = "1.0";
$mailHeaders["Content-Type"] = "multipart/mixed;\r\n" .' 
boundary="PHP-mixed-' . $random_hash . '"';
$mailBody =  "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n";

// --- Text body --------------------------------------------------
                                
if($body!=null){
        $mailBody .= "--PHP-mixed-" . $random_hash ."\r\n";
        $mailBody .= "Content-Type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII\r\n";
        $mailBody .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit";
        $mailBody .= "\r\n\r\n";
        $mailBody .= $body;
        $mailBody .= "\r\n\r\n";
}

// --- HTML body --------------------------------------------------
                                
if($html!=null){
        $mailBody .= "--PHP-mixed-" . $random_hash ."\r\n";
        $mailBody .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII\r\n";
        $mailBody .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit";
        $mailBody .= "\r\n\r\n";
        $mailBody .= $html;
        $mailBody .= "\r\n\r\n";
}

// --- Attached file (already zipped) -----------------------------

if($attachedFile!=null){                
        if(is_file($attachedFile)){
                $mailBody .= "--PHP-mixed-" . $random_hash ."\r\n";
		$mailBody .= "Content-Type: application/zip; name=\"". 
basename($attachedFile) . "\"\r\n";
                $mailBody .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";
                $mailBody .= "Content-Disposition: attachment";
                $mailBody .= "\r\n\r\n";
                $mailBody .= 
chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($attachedFile)));
        }
}

$mailBody .= "--PHP-mixed-" . $random_hash ."--";
$mailBody .= "\r\n\r\n";
                                        
// Setup $recipients (see note below)

ob_start();
$sending = $smtp->send($recipients,$mailHeaders,$mailBody);
ob_clean();

if ($_pear->isError($sending)){
        // Process error
}

Note
In the class that runs the stuff above, I put the following comment a 
long time ago:

/*
 Undocumented pear::mail
        
        Recipients
        
        $recipients = array(
                "To" => "...",
                "Cc" => "...",
                "Bcc" => "..."
        );
        
        Headers
        
        $headers = array(
                "To" => "..."
                "Cc" => "..."
        );
        // Do NOT specify "Bcc" in $headers (yeah make f...ing sense @$%!%)
