Made some progress today. Found an attachment script in the archives. I was
able to send an email attachment if it was already on the server. now i just
need the file to come from a form instead of already being on the server but
that's not working yet.
----HTML form code to submit file user wants uploaded-------
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Form Test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"
name="form1">
File to upload:
<input type="file" name="fileatt">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
----------end html code----------
-----------upload.php code-------------
<?php
$to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$from = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$subject = "Attachment Test";
$message = "Dear mike,<br>
Thank you for taking the time to subscribe for
our free document.<br>
Please find the document attached to this
email.";
// Obtain file upload vars
$fileatt = $_FILES['fileatt']['tmp_name'];
$fileatt_type = $_FILES['fileatt']['type'];
$fileatt_name = $_FILES['fileatt']['name'];
$headers = "From: $from";
// If the file exists...
if (!file_exists($fileatt))
{
echo "the file doesn't exist";
}
if (file_exists($fileatt))
{
// Read the file to be attached ('rb' = read binary)
$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);
// Generate a boundary string
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
// Add the headers for a file attachment
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
// Add a multipart boundary above the plain message
$message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
$message . "\n\n";
// Base64 encode the file data
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
// Add file attachment to the message
$message .= "--{$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";
}
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
echo "Thanks for sending mail";
?>
