Quick question: .docx files not being submitted

[elis]

 

 

I had a quick and possibly stupid question that I hope someone can help me with.

 

I have a script that is supposed to submit emails with attachments that another programmer wrote, however .docx attachments aren't being mailed out.

While looking at the previous programmer's code, I noticed this:

 

<?php	if(!empty($resume_doc)){
									$mail->AddAttachment($_FILES['resume_doc']['tmp_name'],"$fname$lname.doc","base64",$resume_filetype);
								} ?>

 

Particularly the snippet: $fname$lname.doc. Could this be the reason why .docx files aren't being mailed out (they are being properly stored in MYSQL)?

If so, what changes would I make to add both .doc and .docx attachments to the above snippet?

bump?

Obviously if you're telling it to send a .doc and you really want it to send a .docx, you're doing it wrong.  Did you even try to add an 'x' to the end of that '.doc'?

Yeah, what DW said.

 

To get the extension you can do the following:

 

$ext = explode(".", $_FILES['resume_doc']['name']);

$ext = $ext[count($ext)-1];
echo $ext; //Will echo out whatever appears after the last period in the file name.
