Read Local File and Send Mail

[ken.stendfield]

I need my script to read a local file and then send it to the administrator. The sending part works perfectly, but the fopen function attempts to read the file from the server.

 

Is there anyway to make it read from your local drive? (For example. "D:\db_backup.sq'") ?

 

<?php

$handle = fopen($filename, "rb");

$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));

fclose($handle);


$to  = "[email protected]";
$from = "friend2gmail.com";
$headers = 'From:' . $from . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: $from' . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $filename, $contents, $headers);

?>

You need to upload the file from your computer to the server for the server to be able to mail it.
