Hi All,

i went through this issue:

I have a result page with an image created on fly, i would like to let the user email him/her self that image as attachment, the image i.e the image.php?name=John&surname=doe... etc

it creates some kind of Vcard on fly according to the user input , all i want to do is let the user email him/her that vcard, without having to right click save as, then open email and attached,

any idea how to do that?

Cheers
Nitro

People are just going to send you to this link

http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/

There mailer attaches files(or so i've heard). I've looked and looked. I can't figure out how to attach a file, that website isn't helping me. There has to be a easyer way to attach a file to a email. Can someone help use both?

My PHP Mailer!

PHP Code:


			
// START // Send eMail

}elseif($_GET['page'] == "sendemail"){

    $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM list");

    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

    $date = date ("l, F jS, Y"); 

    $time = date ("h:i A"); 

    $id = "$row[id]";

    $name = "$row[name]";

    $email = "$row[email]";

    $message = $_POST['message'];

    mail ("$email", "$subject", "$message", "From: $email\r\nReply-to:$admin_email");

    echo("eMail Sent to: $name at, <a href=\"mailto:$email\">$email</a><br>");

    }

    echo("

        <hr color=#000000>

        <font class=textbig>$subject</font><BR>

        <font class=texbigt>$message</font>

    ");

// END // Send eMail

I want to attact file.... (test.zip) How would I go about doing this.

Thanks Keith

To Send a mail with attachement it's quite simple, what i want to do is send a mail with a an image what was created on fly as i explain above, for you i have the following script:

the PHP SCRIPT

mail.php)
<html>
<head>
<title> Sending Email </title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
// Read POST request params into global vars
$to = $_POST['to'];
$from = $_POST['from'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

// Obtain file upload vars
$fileatt = $_FILES['fileatt']['tmp_name'];
$fileatt_type = $_FILES['fileatt']['type'];
$fileatt_name = $_FILES['fileatt']['name'];

$headers = "From: $from";

if (is_uploaded_file($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/plain; 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";
}

// Send the message
$ok = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($ok) {
echo "<p>Mail sent! Yay PHP!</p>";
} else {
echo "<p>Mail could not be sent. Sorry!</p>";
}
?>
</body>
</html>

NOW the HTML

<html>
<head>
<title>Send an Email</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Send an Email</h1>
<form action="mail.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<p>To: <input type="text" name="to" value="" /><br />
From: <input type="text" name="from" value="" /><br />
Subject: <input type="text" name="subject" value="" /></p>
<p>Message:<br />
<textarea cols="70" rows="20" name="message"></textarea></p>
<p>File Attachment: <input type="file" name="fileatt" /></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Send" /></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
