[PHP] Sending email w/ attachments
Hey all,
Trying to send emails with attachments, first try at this. And
am trying to adapt sample code I found here:
http://www.webcheatsheet.com/PHP/send_email_text_html_attachment.php
Trying this:
($data contains the contents of the file; I've verified this)
$hash = md5(date('r', time()));
$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
$body_attachment = --PHP-mixed-$hash--\n .
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\$filename\\r\n .
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n .
Content-Disposition: attachment\n.
$attachment . \n .
--PHP-mixed-$hash--\n;
I then append $attachment this to the end of the email body
and send it on. I've verified it is reading the file properly,
in this test case it is a place text file. But I've tried a
PDF and that did not work as well.
What happens is the email comes through and shows an
attachment paper clip icon in Thunderbird, but when the email
is clicked on the icon disappears and the email is empty, even
the body is not there and no attachment either.
A final question I have is does the content-type value need to
change for text files, Word Docs, PDFs, Excel files, etc, or
is there one type that can handle any file type?
Any help would be great. I'm rather stuck and floundering here.
Thanks,
Skip

Re: [PHP] Sending email w/ attachments
Funny, I just had to figure out today how to nicely do HTML e-mails. I
ended up using PEAR:Mail_mime, and it worked pretty well. It will also
work for your attachments. I believe that PHP itself recommends it on
their mail() function reference page.
