Re: [PHP] email attachment cannot be opened (solved)

[Chris Hayes]

I found the culprit!
I copied the filereading part without checking too good, and it had an 
"addslashes" call which ruined the file content very professionaly.

It's much easier holding it up to the screen and scanning it in.
Try it sometime.  You'll love it.

No. When you press the submit button, just speak slowly and clearly where
the file is and PHP will understand you. What kind of video card do you
have?

Thanxs... I couldn't use your script (because of my lack of experiencie
maybe) but you gave me a very good hint about what to look for.
I sent an attachment (with a class located in this URL :
http://renoir.vill.edu/~ylee/mailfile.txt), but that wasn't what my boss was
thinking of.
(Now he tells !)
Anyway, is useful and I repeat my gratitude.

RE: [PHP] Email Attachment

[Frank Hertogs]

This should do the trick, experiment wit hit;

function mail_attachment($email, $buffer)
 {
//subject 
$subject = "Testing pdf attachment.."
//sender
$x_sender = "F. Hertogs";
//extra (optional) headers
$x_headers = "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]\n";
$x_headers .= "PHP mailer\n";
$x_headers .= "MIME-version: 1.0\n";
//tell mail program it's multipart/mixed
$x_headers .= "Content-type: multipart/mixed; "; 
//tell mail program what boundary looks like
$x_headers .= "boundary=\"Message-Boundary\"\n";
//encoding
$x_headers .= "Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT\n";
//to prevent error in case email is empty (I only use this for testing 
//normally; use php or javascript to check forms before submitting
if(!IsSet($email))
 $email = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
//first boundary
$body = "--Message-Boundary\n";
//start text message
$body .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII\n";
$body .= "Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT\n";
$body .= "Content-description: Mail message body\n\n";
//text for message
$body .= "Dear sir,\n\nHere is the requested file blabla"
//end text message
$body .= "\n\n--Message-Boundary\n";
//start application pdf in this example
$body .= "Content-type: application/pdf name=\"attach.pdf\"\n"; 
$body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
$body .= "Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"attach.pdf\"\n\n";
$enc_pdf = chunk_split(base64_encode($buffer));
$body .= $enc_pdf . "\n"; }
$body .= "--Message-Boundary--\n";
//mail actual message
mail($email, $subject, $body, $x_headers);
}

I hope this helps you.

Hello, I'm new in php development... I was wondering how can I attach a
Word
(.doc) Document in an email sent with the mail() function (if I can do
it
just with it).

I know it has to see with the additional headers of the email, but I
would
be grateful If anyone could tell where can i go to for this specific
information.

I couldn't find it in PHP manual (.pdf version).

Thanxs !

Email attachments are quite a bit more convoluted than just adding a From
header...

You may want to use Manuel Lemos email class or some other pre-written
user-contributed function to do it.

Otherwise, you get the joy of figuring out MIME-encoding and making up
unique boundary lines to segment the mime-parts and other gnarly stuff I've
managed to not have to figure out...

Even if you want to roll your own, read their source as well as the RFCs
they used to figure all this out.
