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

 

 

enctype="multipart/form-data">

Filename:

 

 

 

 

 

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 "The file was successfully sent!";

} else {

die("Sorry but the email could not be sent. Please go back and try again!");

}

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:

I too am attempting to produce a form that sends an attachment, with little success. It finds the attachment and attaches the attachment but doesn't send the attachment. Anyone have a script I can peruse to get this problem resolved. Kindest regards, Grucker

 

The page I linked to a couple posts up on this topic has examples (I've adapted them to my needs before, so I know they work): http://www.webcheatsheet.com/php/send_email_text_html_attachment.php

Some Usage Smaples

 

Simple Plain text

<?php

//Include the emailer class
include 'Emailer.class.php';

//Load the Emailer class into a variable
$Emailer = new Emailer;

//Setup where and where from the message is being sent.
$Emailer->set_to("some_email@some_domain.tld");
$Emailer->set_from("admin@localhost");
$Emailer->set_sender("me@domain.com");

//Afdd some message stuff
$Emailer->set_subject("This is a plain-text email");
$Emailer->set_text("Hello World!");

$Emailer->send();
?>

 

HTML formatted with

<?php

//Include the emailer class

include 'Emailer.class.php';

//Load the Emailer class into a variable
$Emailer = new Emailer;

//Setup where and where from the message is being sent.
$Emailer->set_to("some_email@some_domain.tld");
$Emailer->set_from("admin@localhost");
$Emailer->set_sender("me@domain.com");

//Add some message stuff
$Emailer->set_subject("This is a html formatted email");

/*Set the text if the end-user does not have the correct software to view html*/
$Emailer->set_text("Hello World! (Non html version)");
$Emailer->set_html("Hello World! (html Version)");

//html will show if supported otherwise they will be sent a nice plain-text version

$Emailer->send();
?>

 

HTML Formatted with Attachments

<?php

//Include the emailer class

include 'Emailer.class.php';

//Load the Emailer class into a variable
$Emailer = new Emailer;

//Setup where and where from the message is being sent.
$Emailer->set_to("some_email@some_domain.tld");
$Emailer->set_from("admin@localhost");
$Emailer->set_sender("me@domain.com");

//Afdd some message percifics
$Emailer->set_subject("This is a html formatted email with files");

/*Set the text if the end-user does not have the correct software to view html*/
$Emailer->set_html("Here's your files");

//Add some files
$Emailer->add_attachments(
   array(
     "test/account_details.txt",
     "test/your_avater.png",
     "test/some_sample_source.php",
     "test/some_random.ext"
     /*Add as many as you wish but try not overload the message size by sending 100MB download lol*/
   )
);

$Emailer->send();
?>
