[PHP] email attachment cannot be opened
hi,
I've made a form to send out emails with attachments, and the attachments
look ok when they arrive but the content is somehow bad. I cannot open gifs
nor can word open the documents. Looking at the content something may be
wrong with the encoding: if i open the GIF file the normal one as well as
the attachment I sent start with GIF89a, but then they start to be different.
I think this is the relevant part of my code:
$atta_type=$_FILES['AttachedFile']['type'];
if
(strpos($atta_type,';')){$atta_type=substr($atta_type,0,strpos($atta_type,';'));}
//for Opera
$atta_tmp_name=$_FILES['AttachedFile']['tmp_name'];
$fp = fopen($atta_tmp_name,rb);
while (!feof($fp)){$filedata .= addslashes(fread($fp,1200));}
$filedata = chunk_split(base64_encode($filedata));
$attachment = $atta_type.\n\n
.--$boundary\n
.Content-Type: $atta_type.; name = \$atta_name\\n
.Content-Transfer-Encoding: $encoding
.\n\n$filedata\n\n
.--$boundary--\n;
Just for fun the headers as well:
'From: SENSE mailinglist [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
'Subject: '.$subject
'Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
'Return-Receipt-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
'Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
'MIME-Version: 1.0'
'Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary='.$boundary.\\n\n);'To: SENSE_List'
This is a MIME encoded message. \n\n
.--$boundary\n
.Content-Type: .(($IsHTML)?'text/html':'text/plain').\n
.Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n\n
.$mailbody .$message

Re: [PHP] email attachment cannot be opened (solved)
I found the culprit! I copied the filereading part without checking too good, and it had an addslashes call which ruined the file content very professionaly. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] PHP Email Attachment problem
Just tried the example and i can upload a file to a directory on my server. So i can do both uploads and attachments seperately, now it's just a matter of doing them at the same time. -Mike - Original Message - From: Jason Wong [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newsgroups: php.general To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 1:36 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP Email Attachment problem On Friday 04 April 2003 06:10, Michael Arena wrote: Made some progress today.

Re: [PHP] PHP Email Attachment problem
After reading the file_upload section on PHP.net i got the following script
working on the server..it sends an attachment from a form now but it's just
of size 0 and always a txt file. I know it must be some little thing wrong
then this will work, maybe you can eye it for me and let me know if you
think i should change anything..
thanks,
Mike

Michael, I referred you to the upload example in the manual (which you say you
got working) so that you will have a solid working foundation to build upon.
In the example, the code to check whether a file has been uploaded is:
if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])) {
So why are you using this:
if ($fileatt != )
{
$uploaddir = '/home/sites/webserver.agraservices.net/web/mike/';
echo it found the attachment;
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileatt']['tmp_name'], uploaddir .
$_FILES['fileatt']['name']);
}
As has been pointed out you're missing the $ in uploaddir.
// Obtain file upload vars
$fileatt = /home/sites/webserver.agraservices.net/web/mike/; //
Location of file on server
$fileatt_type = $_FILES['fileatt']['type'];// Type of file being sent
$fileatt_name = $_FILES['fileatt']['name'];// Name of file
$headers = From: $from;
if (file_exists($fileatt))
{
// Read the file to be attached ('rb' = read binary)
$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);
$fileatt is pointing to a directory. You need to define it as:
$fileatt =
/home/sites/webserver.agraservices.net/web/mike/{$_FILES['fileatt']['name']};
Note the braces {}. Read the language reference of the manual (not sure where
exactly it is so can't be more specific) to see why they're needed and how
they work.
Not sure whether there are any more errors in your code, but correct the above
first and see where that gets you.

Re: [PHP] PHP Email Attachment problem
Made some progress today. Found an attachment script in the archives. I was
able to send an email attachment if it was already on the server. now i just
need the file to come from a form instead of already being on the server but
that's not working yet.

I'm not sure *how* you're checking that there's nothing there but please
read
the chapter in the manual about file uploads (yes all of it) and note that
uploaded files are deleted upon termination of the script.
Does the PHP code look ok? I suspect there's
something in there that's not right.
OK, you said on the RAQ server you don't get an attachment, have you
checked
that:
if (is_uploaded_file($fileatt))
is true?
I could email you a copy of my PHP.ini file
No thank you.
if you want to check that out
as well because I didn't see anything in there called file_upload.
Make sure your php.ini has the following line
file_uploads = On
Also make sure you're not uploading any files that are exceeding the
limits
set in php.ini (see manual for the relevant config settings which governs
this).

I also had a similar problem and it was simply because the directory
holding the attachment didn't have permission to send the attachment, so
check the permissions on the directory. Once I changed it it sends fine.

[PHP] Email Attachment Problem....
Hello,
I want to send an email attachment using PHP and the below code works
locally but when i upload to my RAQ Cobalt server it doesn't send the
attachment and i can't figure out why. If you can offer me any guidance as
to why this is happening it is greatly appreciated.
**The sendmail is a custom function listed below also, not the one inherent
to PHP.**
Thanks,
Mike

Have you checked that the file actually gets uploaded?
are there any other
settings that could differ that I would need to set? Like in the php.ini
file?
Have you enabled file_uploads in php.ini?

[PHP] PHP Email Attachment problem
Hello,
I want to send an email attachment using PHP and the below code works
locally but when i upload to my RAQ Cobalt server it doesn't send the
attachment and i can't figure out why. If you can offer me any guidance as
to why this is happening it is greatly appreciated.
**The sendmail is a custom function listed below also, not the one inherent
to PHP.**
Thanks,
Mike

Re: [PHP] Email Attachment
Thanxs... I couldn't use your script (because of my lack of experiencie
maybe) but you gave me a very good hint about what to look for.
I sent an attachment (with a class located in this URL :
http://renoir.vill.edu/~ylee/mailfile.txt), but that wasn't what my boss was
thinking of.
(Now he tells !)
Anyway, is useful and I repeat my gratitude.

Hello, I'm new in php development... I was wondering how can I attach a

just with it).
I know it has to see with the additional headers of the email, but I

I couldn't find it in PHP manual (.pdf version).

Re: [PHP] Email Attachment
I know how to send a standard email, but I`m having a bit of trouble adding an attachment, can anyone put me right? this is my code which works fine... $subject="Hi"; $email="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; $from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; $message="Hi this is me testing my PHP mail script"; mail($email, $subject, $message, $from); Email attachments are quite a bit more convoluted than just adding a From header... You may want to use Manuel Lemos email class or some other pre-written user-contributed function to do it. Otherwise, you get the joy of figuring out MIME-encoding and making up unique boundary lines to segment the mime-parts and other gnarly stuff I've managed to not have to figure out... Even if you want to roll your own, read their source as well as the RFCs they used to figure all this out. -- Visit the Zend Store at http://www.zend.com/store/ Wanna help me out? Like Music?
