you really want to read the rfc for this. i think it is 821. google for
'smtp rfc' and you should be able to find it.
here is a function i wrote when i was first learning php, and i'm sure it
can be cleaned up, but it usually works for me.
hope it helps,
mike
function
mail_attachment($to,$subject,$attachment,$attachmentType="",$filename="",$me
ssage="") {
if ($attachmentType=="") $attachmentType = "text/plain;
charset=US-ASCII";
$timestring = md5(time());
$seperator = "NextPart_$timestring";
$header = "MIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-Type: multipart/mixed;\n
boundary=\"$seperator\"\n
this is some extra text that should be ignored. if you can read this,
perhaps you should upgrade your email program.\n";
if ($filename !="") { $attachpreface = "
\n--$seperator
Content-Type: $attachmentType;
name=\"$filename\"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=\"$filename\"";
} else { $attachpreface = "
\n--$seperator
Content-Type: $attachmentType
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: attachment";
}
$messagepreface = "
\n--$seperator
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII";
$attachment = "$attachpreface\n\n"."$attachment"."\n--$seperator";
if ($message != "") {
$message = "$messagepreface\n\n"."$message"."$attachment";
} else {
$message = "$attachment";
}
// echo "$header\n$message\n";
mail ($to,$subject,$message,$header);
}
