Thanks JD! I downloaded phpMailer and had a look - it looks really nice and simple. Thank you very much!

Hello, Basically, here is the short version of what I am doing. Someone goes to a web forum, fill out some information, and the then a PDF (using domPDF) is generated based on the input, then the PDF is e-mail as an attachment. What I have works, but I strongly suspect that it doesn't follow best practices. I'm a new to PHP and e-mail stuff, so I need a little help as I want to do this properly. $empName = $empNickName.; $fileatt = "prints/".$fileName; // Path to the file $fileatt_type = "application/pdf"; // File Type $fileatt_name = $fileName; // Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment $email_from = $emailFrom; // Who the email is from $email_subject = $emailSubject; // The Subject of the email $email_message = nl2br($emailMessage)."<br /><br /><br /> <img src='http://sitedomain.co...go.jpg'><br />"; $email_to = $emailTo.'; [email protected]'; // Who the email is to, plus CC me $headers = "From: ".$empName." <".$email_from.">"; $mailParams = "-f$email_from"; $file = fopen($fileatt,'rb'); $data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt)); fclose($file); $semi_rand = md5(time()); $mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x"; $headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" . "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" . " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\""; $email_message .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" . "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . "Content-Type:text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" . $email_message .= "\n\n"; $data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data)); $email_message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . "Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" . " name=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" . //"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" . //" filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . $data .= "\n\n" . "--{$mime_boundary}--\n"; $ok = @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers, $mailParams); if($ok) { echo "The ".DispOrderType($orderType)." has been sent to the following address:<br>".$email_to."."; } else { echo "Sorry but the email could not be sent."; } Is this the best way to accomplish this? Thank you for your help in advance! -Paul
