elis Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkWater Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 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'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLewis Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 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.
