abul_22 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-22-06, 03:08 PM

Hi all,

I am a biginner so there are alot of things that you will see in the code that need to be improved...

I have a simple email form which sends information through the email.

I am trying to attach a "Reseme" to the email. I have looked through www.hotscipts.net but and I have managed to get some examples and tried to implement it to my form but they are not working.

ALL I'M TRYING TO DO IS ATTACH A RESEME TO THE EMAIL WITH ALL OTHER INFORMATION THAT IS FROM THE USER INPUT.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appriciated. Thanx in advance.

Here are the codes I'm using.

main.php

PHP Code:

and what exactly is the problem? is the mail not recieved? is there an error?

at first sight: there are some variables not declared in this part of the code:

PHP Code:


			
$new_message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .

                     "Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" .

                     " name=\"{$new_filename}\"\n" .

                     "Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .

                     " filename=\"{$new_filename}\"\n" .

                     "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .

                     $attachment_data . "\n\n" .

                     "--{$mime_boundary}--\n";

there's also code missing i think. cause i don't find any usage of the main.php page.

Hi, thanx for the reply.

I am reciving the email but not the attachment.

the main.php and contact file is being called from the main html page which i have not included. Is there an simple example script anyone be able to suggest to me, i think my main problem is that i dont have sufficent PHP knowledge.

Thanx again

i recommend you to use phpmailer or another class that can add attachments to emails without you having to compile them.
take a look at phpmailer or look at Email classes on phpclasses.org
