I want to create a form where you can upload a file and that can be sent as an attachment of an e-mail. I've have two alternatives, one using PHPMailer, and the other not using PHPMailer. My problems are as listed: 1. When using PHPMailer, I'm getting the `SMTP:Could Not Connect()` error even though all the SMTP credentials are right. 2. When not using PHPMailer, I'm getting an error in the `fopen()` function. Even then, I'm receiving the file, but its empty. I'm really a starter with PHP, so need help on this one. I'm posting both the codes here. 1. Using PHPMailer: <?php require('PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php'); if(isset($_POST['email'])) { // EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED //$email_to = "email"; //$email_subject = "Request for Portfolio check up from ".$first_name." ".$last_name; $title = array('Title', 'Mr.', 'Ms.', 'Mrs.'); $selected_key = $_POST['title']; $selected_val = $title[$_POST['title']]; $first_name = $_POST['first_name']; // required $last_name = $_POST['last_name']; // required $email_from = $_POST['email']; // required $telephone = $_POST['telephone']; // not required $comments = $_POST['comments']; // required if(($selected_key==0)) echo "<script> alert('Please enter your title')</script>"; function clean_string($string) { $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href"); return str_replace($bad,"",$string); } $email_message = ""; $email_message .="Title: ".$selected_val."\n"; $email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($first_name)."\n"; $email_message .= "Last Name: ".clean_string($last_name)."\n"; $email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n"; $email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($telephone)."\n"; $email_message .= "Comments: ".clean_string($comments)."\n"; $allowedExts = array("doc", "docx", "xls", "xlsx", "pdf"); $temp = explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]); $extension = end($temp); if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application/pdf") || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application/msword") || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application/excel") || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application/vnd.ms-excel") || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application/x-excel") || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application/x-msexcel") || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document") || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet")) && in_array($extension, $allowedExts)) { if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0) { echo "<script>alert('Error: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] ."')</script>"; } else { if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"])) $file=fopen("upload/".$_FILES["file"]["name"], 'r'); } } else { echo "<script>alert('Invalid file')</script>"; } // create email headers $headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n". 'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); //Create a new PHPMailer instance $mail = new PHPMailer(); //Tell PHPMailer to use SMTP $mail->IsSMTP(); //Enable SMTP debugging // 0 = off (for production use) // 1 = client messages // 2 = client and server messages $mail->SMTPDebug = 2; //Ask for HTML-friendly debug output $mail->Debugoutput = 'html'; //Set the hostname of the mail server $mail->Host = "hostname"; //Set the SMTP port number - likely to be 25, 465 or 587 $mail->Port = 465; //Whether to use SMTP authentication $mail->SMTPAuth = true; //Username to use for SMTP authentication $mail->Username = "email"; //Password to use for SMTP authentication $mail->Password = "password"; //Set who the message is to be sent from $mail->SetFrom($email_from, 'First Last'); //Set an alternative reply-to address //$mail->AddReplyTo('[email protected]','First Last'); //Set who the message is to be sent to $mail->AddAddress('email', 'name'); //Set the subject line $mail->Subject = 'Request for Profile Check up'; //Read an HTML message body from an external file, convert referenced images to embedded, convert HTML into a basic plain-text alternative body $mail->MsgHTML($email_message); //Replace the plain text body with one created manually $mail->AltBody = 'This is a plain-text message body'; //Attach an image file $mail->AddAttachment($file); //Send the message, check for errors if(!$mail->Send()) { echo "<script>alert('Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo."')</script>"; } else { echo "<script>alert('Your request has been submitted. We will contact you soon.')</script>"; } } ?> 2. No PHPMailer: <?php $title = array('Title', 'Mr.', 'Ms.', 'Mrs.'); $selected_key = $_POST['title']; $selected_val = $title[$_POST['title']]; $first_name = $_POST['first_name']; // required $last_name = $_POST['last_name']; // required $email_from = $_POST['email']; // required $telephone = $_POST['telephone']; // not required $comments = $_POST['comments']; // required if(($selected_key==0)) echo "<script> alert('Please enter your title')</script>"; function clean_string($string) { $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href"); return str_replace($bad,"",$string); } $email_message = ""; $email_message .="Title: ".$selected_val."\n"; $email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($first_name)."\n"; $email_message .= "Last Name: ".clean_string($last_name)."\n"; $email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n"; $email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($telephone)."\n"; $email_message .= "Comments: ".clean_string($comments)."\n"; $email_to = "email"; // The email you are sending to (example) //$email_from = "[email protected]"; // The email you are sending from (example) $email_subject = "subject line"; // The Subject of the email //$email_txt = "text body of message"; // Message that the email has in it $destination=$_FILES["file"]["name"]; move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["name"], $destination); $fileatt = fopen($_FILES['file']['name'],'r'); // Path to the file (example) $fileatt_type = "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"; // File Type $fileatt_name = "Details.docx"; // Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment $file = fopen($fileatt,'r'); $data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt)); fclose($file); $semi_rand = md5(time()); $mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x"; $headers="From: $email_from"; // Who the email is from (example) $headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" . "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" . " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\""; $email_message .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" . "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
