File Attachment PHP mail()

sblake161189 · September 13, 2011

Hi Guys,

Please can someone shred some light on what im doing wrong. Upon form submission it takes you to the success page. It then grabs the data, emails it through to the owner as a HTML email and then attaches 2 file attachments.

The issue I am having is the attachments appear BUT they will not open. Its as though the files are corrupt.

Part of the form is as follows:

CV: <input name="fileAttach[]" type="file" class="field" />
ID: <input name="fileAttach[]" type="file" class="field" />

The PHP is as follows: (please ignore most of the HTML body content from the email, the attachment bit is at the bottom)

<?php

// Grab Data from Form
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

// Personal Information
$surname = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['surname']);
$firstname = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['firstname']);
$telephone = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['telephone']);
$mobile = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['mobile']);
$email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']);
$address = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['address']);
$postcodep1 = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['postcodep1']);
$postcodep2 = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['postcodep2']);
$dob_dd = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['dob_dd']);
$dob_mm = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['dob_mm']);
$dob_yyyy = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['dob_yyyy']);

// Next of Kin
$nextkinname = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['nextkinname']);
$nextkintel = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['nextkintel']);

// Availability
$days_mon = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['days_mon']);
$days_tue = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['days_tue']);
$days_wed = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['days_wed']);
$days_thu = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['days_thu']);
$days_fri = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['days_fri']);

$persrefname = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['persrefname']);
$persreftel = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['persreftel']);
$persrefadd = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['persrefadd']);

// Extra Information

$drive = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['drive']);
$car = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['car']);
$criminal = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['criminal']);
$criminal_details = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['criminal_details']);
$howlongworkuk = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['howlongworkuk']);
$police_check = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['police_check']);
$right2work = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['right2work']);
$right2workna = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['right2workna']);
