RE: [PHP-DB] Attachment
Can you explain more to me about RFC1341? Please tell me where can I get more info about this function? Actually what I want is to send a mail with a list of attachment files.

Re: [PHP-DB] Attachment
I have actually done several projects with different kinds or e-mailing features. In a nutshell, you need the appropriate MIME headers for the type of mail, and sections of body divided by MIME Boundaries. (You also need to encode any files you are sending as attachments. Check the base64_encode function at php.net for this) RFC1341 and the revised version: RFC1521 give you all the specifics you need to do this in almost any situation. I would suggest skimming through 1521, paying special attention to the section on Multipart/Mixed (as that is what you would usually use for an e-mail with attachments) I would also suggest sending yourself a couple of e-mails with attachments, and then telneting to your mail server and viewing them there. Doing this has probably helped more more than anything when working on a complex mail program. Don't reinvent the wheel, see how the other guys made theirs =P If you have any specific questions let me know.

Re: [PHP-DB] Attachment
First of all.
Take a look at MIME tutorial @ http://www.zend.com
its great.. read all 3.
i wrote a perl script after that tutorial..
it attach a .log file..
take a look im 100% sure you can port it to php using mail() function
just build up $header and insert into the function.
-
#!/usr/bin/perl
