Struggling with file uplaoding issue

Merdok · January 16, 2011

Hi Guys, I'm trying to build a form which includes a file field. The idea is that it will upload the file and then email it as an attachment, I couldnt' figure that out at all so I thought I'd go with uploading the file and including a link to it in the email, however that isn't working either and I don't understand why... i'm not getting any error messages and the upload folder is set to 777.

	if (($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000))
  {
  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
    {
    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
    }
  else
    {
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
      "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      $fileLink = $siteroot. "/upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
      }
  }
else
  {
  echo "Invalid file";
  }
$to = str_replace('info', 'sales', $sc_email);  
$subject = "Quotation request from website";
$body = "From: ".$_POST['first_name']." ".$_POST['last_name']."\n";
if ($_POST['job_title']) {
$body .= "(".$_POST['job_title']." at ".$_POST['your_company'].")\n";
}
$body .= "E-Mail: ".$_POST['your_email']."\n";
$body .= "Telephone: ".$_POST['your_telephone']."\n";
$body .= "Address:\n ".$_POST['your_address']." ,".$_POST['your_country']."\n\n";
$body .= "Project: ".$_POST['project_details']."\n";
$body .= "Translate to: ".$_POST['lang_target']." from ".$_POST['lang_source']."\n";
$body .= "by: ".$_POST['project_deadline'];
$body .= "The text: ".$_POST['text_to_translate'];
$body .= "Link to attachment: <a href=".$fileLink."> Link </a>";

Just helping me to figure out this would be enough but if anyone has a solution to the emailng as attatchment thing that would be even better. I've looked at a few tutorials but they seem a bit confusing.

Thanks in advance.

Did you try to base64-encode the file before adding it as an attachment?

It would be beneficial to see ALL the code, including the form

Yes I believe base64 encoding was a part of the tutorial

Here is the code for the full page:


<?php 
// BEGIN SOCKET IMPLEMENTATION

if ($_GET['revision']) { // If viewing a revision from SOCKET
$dblookup = "SELECT articleID, datePosted, articleTitle, permaLink, articleBody, sideBody, parent FROM core_pages_revisions WHERE(revisionID ='".$_GET['revision']."') LIMIT 1";		
} else {
$dblookup = "SELECT articleID, datePosted, articleTitle, permaLink, articleBody, sideBody, parent FROM core_pages WHERE(articleID ='".$_GET['article']."') OR (permaLink ='".$_GET['article']."'";
if($_GET['parent']) {																																											$dblookup .= " AND parent ='".$_GET['parent']."'";
}
$dblookup .= ") LIMIT 1";
}
$data = mysql_query($dblookup) or die('Failed to return data: ' . mysql_error());	
if (mysql_num_rows($data) == 0) { redirect_to('/404');exit;}

When uploading files you need to include this

enctype="multipart/form-data"

See this tutorial - http://www.tizag.com/phpT/fileupload.php

this is a good script that will let you send emails with attachments. it is a tutorial with a link so you can download the ready made form at the bottom. you need to install the PEAR Library, link to that is at the very bottom as well. the script is easy to edit and has validation and injection protection.
