The thing is that you can send and receive attachments perfectly if you send
directly from an email client such as outlook or webbased mail such as
hotmail.
I have attached my script below
<?php
//function send_mail(){
global $mail_to, $mail_name, $mail_email, $mail_title, $mail_description,
$attachment;
//$mail_to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$mail_to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$mail_subject = "Photo Sent To Tourist";
$attachment_size = filesize($attachment);
// Response seen by User
echo "<img src=\"../tourist/thankyou.gif\">";
$mail_boundary = md5(uniqid(time()));
$mail_headers .= "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] \n";
$mail_headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$mail_headers .= "Content-type: multipart/mixed;";
$mail_headers .= "boundary= \"$mail_boundary\"";
$mail_headers .= "\r\n\r\n";
$new_mail_body .= "--$mail_boundary\n";
$new_mail_body .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii\r\n";
$new_mail_body .= "Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n";
$new_mail_body .= "Name ".$mail_name;
$new_mail_body .= "\r\n";
$new_mail_body .= "Email ".$mail_email;
$new_mail_body .= "\r\n";
$new_mail_body .= "Title ".$mail_title;
$new_mail_body .= "\r\n";
$new_mail_body .= "Description ".$mail_description;
$new_mail_body .= "\r\n";
if (!$attachment_size){
NULL;
}else{
$new_mail_body .= "--$mail_boundary\n";
$fp = fopen($attachment, "r");
$file = fread ($fp, filesize ($attachment));
$file = chunk_split(base64_encode($file));
$mime_type ="image/gif";
$new_mail_body .= "Content-type:$mime_type; name=\"$mail_title\"\r\n";
$new_mail_body .= "Content-transfer-encoding:base64\r\n\r\n";
$new_mail_body .= $file;
$new_mail_body .= "\r\n\r\n";
}
$new_mail_body .= "--$mail_boundary--";
return mail($mail_to , $mail_subject, $new_mail_body, $mail_headers);
?>

looks like your email client at work is not capable of handling the image
(.gif) attachments. check in the help secion of your email client.
