There is a PHP class someone wrote called mime_mail that makes this easy.
The resulting code using this class is something like:
// create new mime_mail object instance
$mail = new mime_mail;
// set all data slots
$mail-from= [EMAIL PROTECTED];
$mail-to = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
$mail-subject = here's that file;
$mail-body= here's that file;
// read the file from disk
$fd = fopen($file_location, r);
$data = fread($fd, filesize($file_location));
fclose($fd);
// append the attachment
$mail-add_attachment($data, $file_name, $file_mime_type);
// send e-mail
$mail-send();
Look in phpclasses.upperdesign.com or search in Google.

You have to open the file and encode it.
Check out this:
html
head
titleFitnessQuest FTP user request form - results/title
/head
body
?php
$date = exec(date);
$border=--==_856811060==_;
/* Define the attachment and encode it base64 */
$filename=/var/www/sf/Ftp_User_Info.doc;
$fd = fopen($filename, r);
$contents = fread($fd, filesize($filename));
$encoded=chunk_split(base64_encode($contents));
fclose($fd);
/* Trim white spaces */
$request_by = trim($request_by);
$email = trim($email);
$company = trim($company);
/* testing if form is filled out */
if (empty($email) )
{
print h1FAILED!/h1;
print pThis form can't be sent! You did not fill the form out
bcompletely!/bbrThe email address is missing!br;
