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:

<title>FitnessQuest FTP user request form - results</title>

<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) )
