PHP to HTML email & attachment problem
I have a form that is submitted which sends an HTML Email & and Attachment if added. However, the script Errors when no file is attached, but will send successfully when a file is attached.

Code:
$to = "name@name.com";
$department = $_REQUEST['department'];
$accNumber = $_REQUEST['accNumber'];
$todaysDate = $_REQUEST['todaysDate'];
$contactName = $_REQUEST['contactName'];
$contactEmail = $_REQUEST['email'];
$contactPhone = $_REQUEST['contactPhone'];
$dateNeeded = $_REQUEST['dateNeeded'];
$colors = $_REQUEST['colors'];
$paper = $_REQUEST['paper'];
$quantity = $_REQUEST['quantity'];
$designNotes = $_REQUEST['designNotes'];


$from =  $contactEmail;
$subject = "Graphic Service Request";

 $htmlVersion = "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd'>

I would consider using this email class by Patiek:

http://www.programmingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=22506

It takes care of the error check for you, so all you have to do is to create an object and you are good to go.

Does the recomeded script send html emails?
Does the recomeded script by Patiek send html emails with the attachment?
Do you know if the html email will be viewable in Outlook?

I am not sure about HTML emails, but I know for sure that it does do text emails and attachments. And yes, it will be viewable in Outlook.
