Hello guys, I'm very new to everything that has to do with PHP. I started exploring it a while ago and at the moment I'm working on a contact form. I am using the following script that I found on this website: http://www.freecontactform.com/email_form.php PHP <?php if(isset($_POST['email'])) { // EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED $email_to = "you@yourdomain.com"; $email_subject = "Your email subject line"; function died($error) { // your error code can go here echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. "; echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />"; echo $error."<br /><br />"; echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />"; die(); } // validation expected data exists if(!isset($_POST['first_name']) || !isset($_POST['last_name']) || !isset($_POST['email']) || !isset($_POST['telephone']) || !isset($_POST['comments'])) { died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.'); } $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 $error_message = ""; $email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/'; if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) { $error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />'; } $string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/"; if(!preg_match($string_exp,$first_name)) { $error_message .= 'The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />'; } if(!preg_match($string_exp,$last_name)) { $error_message .= 'The Last Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />'; } if(strlen($comments) < 2) { $error_message .= 'The Comments you entered do not appear to be valid.<br />'; } if(strlen($error_message) > 0) { died($error_message); } $email_message = "Form details below.\n\n"; function clean_string($string) { $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href"); return str_replace($bad,"",$string); } $email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($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"; // create email headers $headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n". 'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers); ?> <!-- include your own success html here --> Thank you for contacting us. We will be in touch with you very soon. <?php } ?> HTML <form name="contactform" method="post" action="send_form_email.php"> <table width="450px"> <tr> <td valign="top"> <label for="first_name">First Name *</label> </td> <td valign="top"> <input type="text" name="first_name" maxlength="50" size="30"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top""> <label for="last_name">Last Name *</label> </td> <td valign="top"> <input type="text" name="last_name" maxlength="50" size="30"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <label for="email">Email Address *</label> </td> <td valign="top"> <input type="text" name="email" maxlength="80" size="30"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <label for="telephone">Telephone Number</label> </td> <td valign="top"> <input type="text" name="telephone" maxlength="30" size="30"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <label for="comments">Comments *</label> </td> <td valign="top"> <textarea name="comments" maxlength="1000" cols="25" rows="6"></textarea> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="text-align:center"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> <a href="http://www.freecontactform.com/email_form.php">Email Form</a> </td> </tr> </table> </form> Now i want to implement the possibility to send a file as an attachment in the email that gets send to email adres x. For certain reasons i really don't want to change script. I only want to make it function to temporary upload a file, store it as attachment and send it. All tips, tricks or sollutions are ofcourse more then welcome.
