Re: [PHP-DB] Email with attachments

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)...

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.
