I got this from the user contributed notes in the php.net manual. It seems
to work fine most of the time, but Eudora and Pegasus users either get
mangled attachments or no attachments.
Can anyone see a problem (most files are zip, but sometimes tar.gz or sit) I
tried using Content-Type: application/zip with the same results. I'm
thinking it is some issue with the headers, content-types, boundaries or
something. Or maybe Pegasus/Eudora don't understand MIME or base64
(doubtful)???
Help appreciated. Thanks!
function send_mail($from_name, $from_email, $to_name, $to_email, $subject,
$text, $path, $filename)
{
// encode file attachments
foreach($filename as $key => $file) {
$fp = fopen($path[$key].$file, "r");
$content = fread($fp, filesize($path[$key].$file));
$attachment[$key] = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
}
// headers need to be in the correct order...
$headers = "From: $from_name<$from_email>\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: <$from_email>\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
// the following must be one line (post width too small)

$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\n"; //1 UrgentMessage, 3 Normal
$headers .= "Return-Path: <$from_email>\n";

$message .= "\n";
// this ends the message part

$message .= "\n";
// now we add attachments (images, etc)
foreach($filename as $key => $file) {
$message .= "------=MIME_BOUNDRY_main_message\n";
$message .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream;

$message .= "------=MIME_BOUNDRY_main_message--\n";
// send the message
$stat = mail("$to_name<$to_email>", $subject, $message, $headers);
return $stat;
