Thank you, thank you, thank you! You fixed it. Attachment being sent and received. And yes, I will use PHPmailer for my next project, if needed. Ray

So, I use mail() to send form data to a client. Works great. Now I am trying to send email to the same client, but with an attachment. I know PHPmailer is preferred, but I'm old school and would like to get this to work. The file I want to send as attachment gets to the far end, but Outlook email displays the binary data instead of having the pdf as an attachment attachment and looks like this: Attached is the Legal Description for 24050240--8f082344de8525de682e9d6aa86aa83f Content-Type: application/pdf; name="Testfile1.pdf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Testfile1.pdf" JVBERi0xLjcNJcjIyMjIyMgNMSAwIG9iago8PC9OYW1lcyA4IDAgUi9PdXRsaW5lcyAyIDAgUi9U eXBlL0NhdGFsb2cvUGFnZXMgMyAwIFIvVmVyc2lvbi8xLjc+Pg0KZW5kb2JqCjIgMCBvYmoKPDwv VHlwZS9PdXRsaW5lcy9Db3VudCAwPj4NCmVuZG9iagozIDAgb2JqCjw8L0NvdW50IDEyL0tpZHNb OSAwIFIgNTAgMCBSIDc1IDAgUiA5OSAwIFIgMTI5IDAgUiAxNDUgMCBSIDE2OCAwIFJdL1R5cGUv UGFnZXM+Pg0KZW5kb2JqCjQgMCBvYmoKPDwvU3ViamVjdCgpL1Byb2R1Y2VyKEFzcG9zZS5QZGYg Zm9yIC5ORVQgOS4yLjEpL0NyZWF0aW9uRGF0ZShEOjIwMjQwMTI2MTE1NTQzKS9BdXRob3IoKS9N b2REYXRlKEQ6MjAyNDAxMjYxMTU1NDMpL0NyZWF0b3IoQXNwb3NlIEx0ZC4pL1RpdGxlKE11bHRp cGxlIERvY3VtZW50cyk+Pg0KZW5kb2JqCjggMCBvYmoKPDwvRGVzdHMgMTg0IDAgUj4+DQplbmRv ... ... more of this...

Yea, been coding since the 80's...mostly machine code. But created a lot of javascript both client and server, more recently. I understand the security issues. I'm not an idiot. Thanks.

Sorry if this is not the correct thread for this. I am not a web developer, per-se. However I know enough to be dangerous! 😯 However I am creating website for a small business. I'm at the point that I need to incorporate login/authentication. I don't need it on the index page, but I do need it on one other page. I'm not having luck finding a script online. Can anyone point me to either a freeware or not real expensive login script with the following capabilities: -sign up/register -verify registration via email -Login applies to one page (not index.html). I have a page with a php form that needs password protection -Secure password creation/storage (MySQL) -remember password -change password Thanks and appreciate comments. Ray
