Topic: PHP Email with attachment

I am trying to use a form so clients can send me pictures off my site and i cant seem to get the file to open in my email.

<!--------------------------------->

form.php

<!--------------------------------->

<form action="upload_file.php" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="file">Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" />
<br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>


<!--------------------------------->

upload_file.php= process script

<!--------------------------------->

$fileatt = ""; //
$fileatt_type = "application/octet-stream"; //
$fileatt_name = ""; //

$email_from = ""; //
$email_subject = ""; //
$email_txt = "Hello"; //

$email_to = "my_email@domain.com"; //

$headers = "From: ".$email_from;

$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);

$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";

$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

$email_message .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type:text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
$email_message . "\n\n";

$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));

$email_message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" .
" name=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
//"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .
//" filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
$data . "\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}--\n";

$ok = @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);

if($ok) {
echo "<font face=verdana size=2>The file was successfully sent!</font>";
} else {
die("Sorry but the email could not be sent. Please go back and try again!");
}

Re: PHP Email with attachment

A couple questions... Are you trying to embed the attachment within the email content itself? Just trying to attach a specific file to the message that gets sent?

I'd suggest starting here, and comparing your code to their example of an HTML email with attachment:
