Adding an "Add Attachment" field to web page based email

[lotitom2]

Hey everyone! I recently discovered this which will allow a user to send an email to me from a web page.

 

does anyone know what would needed to be added in order for the sender to include an attachment?

 

Thanks in advance!

This is something that a quick google search should easily turn up. Just search for something similar to "add attachment to email php"

hmmm the php stuff isn't working. I put the script in the header of the page but it doesn't work. I dont see anything relatively close to what it should look like.

ok so i got this off the net

 

<?php
$fileatt = ""; // Path to the file
$fileatt_type = "application/octet-stream"; // File Type
$fileatt_name = ""; // Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment

$email_from = ""; // Who the email is from
$email_subject = ""; // The Subject of the email
$email_txt = ""; // Message that the email has in it

$email_to = ""; // Who the email is too

$headers = "From: ".$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 "The file was successfully sent!";
} else {
die("Sorry but the email could not be sent. Please go back and try again!");
}
?>

 

 

 

 

unfortunately i really dont know php all that well and all i get on the page is "Sorry but the email could not be sent. Please go back and try again!"

 

 

 

im not sure if i made myself understood before but im looking to build a page like the following:

 

Email: 


Message:

 

 

 

but with an attachment field to be added. Any help will be greatly appreciated if you can find a way of doing this.

 

Thanks for your help in advance!
