Email Attachment Problem

[js_280]

I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with this code for several days now...

 

Running PHP 5.8 on Windows Server 2003

 

The pdf files are being created correctly, I can go open them with Adobe without a problem.  The problem comes when the script attempts to add the pdf file as an attachment.  Something is apparently messing with the headers because the pdf file is simply dumped into the email as plain text.  Can anyone see something that I've missed?  I found the code on devshed and thought it would port over without problem...

 

	try
	{
		$pdf->end_document("");

	    $buf = $pdf->get_buffer();
	    $len = strlen($buf);

	    $filename = rand(0, getrandmax()).".pdf";
	    file_put_contents($filename, $buf);
	    
	$to = $branches[$i]['email'];
	//define the subject of the email
	$subject = 'Automated Collection Letters for Branch '.$branches[$i]['num'];
	//create a boundary string. It must be unique
	//so we use the MD5 algorithm to generate a random hash
	$random_hash = md5(date('r', time()));
	//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n
	$headers = "From: admin@somwhere.com\r\nReply-To: admin@somewhere.com";
	//add boundary string and mime type specification
	$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"PHP-mixed-".$random_hash."\"";
	//read the atachment file contents into a string,
	//encode it with MIME base64,
	//and split it into smaller chunks
	$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($filename)));
	//define the body of the message.
	ob_start(); //Turn on output buffering
	?>
	--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?> 
	Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>"

	--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?> 
	Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
	Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

	--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>--

	--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?> 
	Content-Type: application/pdf; name="<?php echo($filename); ?>" 
	Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 
	Content-Disposition: attachment 

	<?php echo $attachment; ?>
	--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>--

	<?php
	//copy current buffer contents into $message variable and delete current output buffer
	$message = ob_get_clean();
	//send the email
	mail('someone@somewhere.com', $subject, $message, $headers);
	}
	catch(Exception $e)
	{

	}

 

 

This is what I'm getting in the body of the email...
