Please help sending email attachments

lingo5 · December 7, 2011

Hi,

I have done this script that sends emails without attachments.

What I want to do now is add the functionality to attach multiple files using one single field, kind of what Outlook does...you can select one or more files to attach to your email.

Any ideas how I can do this?

Thanks

<?php

$EmailTo = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['to']));
$Subject = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['subject']));
$email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['email']));



// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

// Additional headers

$headers .= 'From: My company<info@mycompany.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Cc: {$_POST['cc']}\r\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: {$_POST['bcc']}\r\n";


// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= $email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "\n";


// send email 
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, stripslashes($Body), $headers);

// redirect to success page 
if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=../PC_email_compose.php?emailsentok=true\">";
}
else{
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=../PC_email_compose.php?emailsenterror=true\">";
}
?>

Have you tried:

<?php
$mime_boundary = 'Multipart_Boundary_x'.md5(time()).'x';
$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"$mime_boundary\"\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n";
$body	 = "This is a multi-part message in mime format.\n\n";
$body	.= "--$mime_boundary\n";
$body	.= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"charset=us-ascii\"\n";
$body	.= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n";
$body	.= $text;
$body	.= "\n\n";
$body	.= "--$mime_boundary\n";
$body	.= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"UTF-8\"\n";
$body	.= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n";
$body	.= $html;
$body	.= "\n\n";
$body	.= "--$mime_boundary--\n";
$headers .= "From:\"$mymailtitle XXXX\" <$mymail>\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Sender-IP: $_SERVER[sERVER_ADDR]\r\n";
$headers .= 'Date: '.date('n/d/Y g:i A')."\r\n";
return mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $body, $headers); ?>

Don't forget to add the $text and $html for the format of your mail in each.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

How would I go about configurig my html form with the select file field?

Skylight_lady · December 7, 2011

Oooops, my mistake. I should have read your post properly. Somehow i thought you wanted to send an email with image attachments too.

Do you mean adding images as an attachment to the email? If so then the code i gave you should work for a mail server like outlook that accepts images as attachments. You will need to add in the html code for your mail and place it in the $html code above the line "$mime_boundary = 'Multipart_Boundary_x'.md5(time()).'x';" with what i gave you.

Can you provide the html form you have?
