email attachment issue mime/header/message

[brentar]

HI-

 

First off, I am not a php programmer.  This is my first crack at it.  Must say I like it though.  I have a form I am working on that users enter applicant info into.. they have the option to add 3 attachments.  Upon hitting submit the "applicant info" gets saved to a .txt and the optional "characteristic" information gets saved to a txt.  If the user attaches a resume and/or cover letter, etc thos get attached too.  Then it all gets emailed to HR.  This means that there could potentially be 5 attachments.  3 the user selects and the 2 that get saved to a txt with the user info they entered.

 

My issue is that if the user does not select to add an attachment... the 2 text files come out as gibberish in the email body.  But if they attach a file, all the attachments come out fine.I am sure I have a messed up $headers or $messages or something similar but can't put my finer on it.

 

I know the code is a bit wacky... I did a lot of if() because the user could have chosen any attachment box....  that is the way they wanted it.. not sure why...

 

So here is the code.  I removed some of it, but the majority is here.  If anyone wants it broken down further or has suggestions, let me know..  My mime stuff is choppy at best.  Thanks much
