[PHP-DB] Email with attachments

[Diana Cassady]

Hi. I'm trying to send email with attachments using PHP and have just 
about got it based on the example provided by alex at bartl dot net 
on http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php.

The only difficulty I'm having is that the attachment is coming through 
as part of the message. The message says there is an attachment, but it 
doesn't give me an icon with the name. I just get the text/html part of 
the message and then the binary data that makes up the attachment.

I'm thinking it has something to do with the boundaries. I've read 
everyone's example on that page and followed the links to the 1993 MIME 
specs on the Mindspring site but am still getting nowhere. Has anyone 
else ever had this problem? If so, how did you solve it?

Its for a good cause - to allow users to upload resumes to a company. 
There will be no spam going on with the use of this code.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Hello!!

Use this function...

function sendmsg($to, $subject, $text, $cc, $from, $file, $type) {
$content = fread(fopen($file,r),filesize($file));
$content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
$uid = strtoupper(md5(uniqid(time(;
$name = basename($file);
$text = stripslashes($text);
$subject = stripslashes($subject);
$header = From: $from\nReply-To: $from\n;
$header .= Cc: $cc\n;
$header .= MIME-Version: 1.0\n;
$header .= Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=$uid\n;
$header .= --$uid\n;
$header .= Content-Type: text/plain\n;
$header .= Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bnoit\n\n;
$header .= $text\n;
$header .= \n;
$header .= \n;
$header .= --$uid\n;
$header .= Content-Type: $type; name=\$name\\n;
$header .= Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n;
$header .= Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\$name\\n\n;
$header .= $content\n;
	$header .= --$uid--;

	mail($to, $subject, , $header);

return true;
}
The call it like this...



sendmsg($to, $subject, $text, $cc, $from, $file, $type);



I didn't write this, forgot who did,  I just tweaked it for my tastes 
(not shown)...
