[SOLVED] sending attachment via PHP

[denoteone]

i am sending a .ZIP file via PHP but when I open the mail it has the attachment. But when i try to open the Zip it says that windows block this request for security reasons. Is there something I need to put in the email script to make it so windows will open the .ZIP file.

 

???

here is the important code.

 

$arr = $_POST['files'];
include("zip.lib.php");
$ziper = new zipfile();
$ziper->addFiles($arr);  //array of files
$ziper->output("myzip.zip");
$my_file = "myzip.zip";
$my_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/scripts/";

 

the POST would look some thing like a path to a file i.e. (pdfs/file1.pdf, pdfs/file2.pdf and so on...)

 

the call of the function is here

mail_attachment($my_file, $my_path, $email, $my_mail, $my_name, $my_replyto, $my_subject, $my_message, $paula_message);

 

and here is the function

 

function mail_attachment($filename, $path, $mailto, $from_mail, $from_name, $replyto, $subject, $message, $paula_message) {
    $file = $path.$filename;
    $file_size = filesize($file);
    $handle = fopen($file, "r");
    $content = fread($handle, $file_size);
    fclose($handle);
    $content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
    $uid = md5(uniqid(time()));
    $name = basename($file);
    $header = "From: ".$from_name." <".$from_mail.">\r\n";
    $header .= "Reply-To: ".$replyto."\r\n";
    $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"".$uid."\"\r\n\r\n";
    $header .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n";
    $header .= "--".$uid."\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-type:text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n";
    $header .= $message."\r\n\r\n";
    $header .= "--".$uid."\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"".$filename."\"\r\n"; // use diff. tyoes here
    $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$filename."\"\r\n\r\n";
    $header .= $content."\r\n\r\n";
    $header .= "--".$uid."--";

    mail($mailto, $subject, "", $header);
