sending email on a windows server

accessbit · December 7, 2008

I am forced to send email from php on a windows server and have the email sending, the attachment sending, but the body is not displaying. I am assuming this is an issue with the headers. Can someone help me out please?

<?php
/* Mailer with Attachments */

$action = $_REQUEST['action'];
global $action;

function showForm() {

?>

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" name="send" method="post" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">
  <input type="hidden" name="action" value="send" />
  <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="10000000" />
  <p> From Email:
    <input name="from_email" size="50" />
    <br />
    Message:
    <textarea name="body" rows="10" cols="50"></textarea>
    <br />
    Attachment:
    <input type="file" name="attachment" size="50" />
    <br />
    <br />
    <input type="submit" value="Send Email" />
  </p>
</form>

<?php
}

function sendMail() {
  if (!isset ($_POST['from_email'])) { //Oops, forgot your email addy!
    die ("<p>Oops!  You forgot to fill out the email address! Click on the back arrow to go back</p>");
  }
  else {
    $from_name = stripslashes($_POST['from_name']);
    $subject = "EF Mag Ads Submission";
    $body = stripslashes($_POST['body']);
    $to_email = "[email protected]";
    $attachment = $_FILES['attachment']['tmp_name'];
    $attachment_name = $_FILES['attachment']['name']; 
    if (is_uploaded_file($attachment)) { //Do we have a file uploaded?
      $fp = fopen($attachment, "rb"); //Open it
      $data = fread($fp, filesize($attachment)); //Read it
      $data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data)); //Chunk it up and encode it as base64 so it can emailed
        fclose($fp);
    }
    //Let's start our headers
    $headers = "From: $from_name<" . $_POST['from_email'] . ">\n";
    $headers .= "Reply-To: <" . $_POST['from_email'] . ">\n"; 
    $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
    $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/related; type=\"multipart/alternative\"; boundary=\"----=MIME_BOUNDRY_main_message\"\n"; 
    $headers .= "X-Sender: $from_name<" . $_POST['from_email'] . ">\n";
    $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP4\n";
    $headers .= "X-Priority: 3\n"; //1 = Urgent, 3 = Normal
    $headers .= "Return-Path: <" . $_POST['from_email'] . ">\n"; 
    $headers .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n";
    $headers .= "------=MIME_BOUNDRY_main_message \n"; 
    $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"----=MIME_BOUNDRY_message_parts\"\n"; 
    
    $message = "------=MIME_BOUNDRY_message_parts\n";
    $message .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n"; 
    $message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable\n"; 
    $message .= "\n"; 
    /* Add our message, in this case it's plain text.  You could also add HTML by changing the Content-Type to text/html */
    $message .= "$body\n";
    $message .= "\n"; 
    $message .= "------=MIME_BOUNDRY_message_parts--\n"; 
    $message .= "\n"; 
    $message .= "------=MIME_BOUNDRY_main_message\n"; 
    $message .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream;\n\tname=\"" . $attachment_name . "\"\n";
    $message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
    $message .= "Content-Disposition: attachment;\n\tfilename=\"" . $attachment_name . "\"\n\n";
    $message .= $data; //The base64 encoded message
    $message .= "\n"; 
    $message .= "------=MIME_BOUNDRY_main_message--\n"; 

    // send the message
    mail("$to_email", $subject, $message, $headers); 
    print '<p align="center">Thank you!</p>';
  }
}

I also need help adding additional uploads, 4 in total. All help will be appreciated.

I would highly suggest making use of the PHPMailer class to handle this.

Also, you don't need to quote variables ("$to_email").. get rid of 'em.
