Upload file and email

[wiggst3r]

Hi

 

I have a form, which when users fill out the results are sent to me in an email.

I'm wanting to add a filed whereby someone can add a file when they fill out the form and this file will be sent along with the email as an attachment.

 

Does anyone know how I can do this?

 

Any examples of code that people have used before?

 

Thanks

Is there an easy way to prevent certain files form being uploaded?

 

I'd only like users to be able to upload jpeg/png/gif, .doc, docx and pdf's

 

Thanks.

check the file type once uploaded with an if statement or switch statement

 

 

$_FILES['attachement']['type']

Hi

 

Thanks for the replies.

 

How could I check (uing the if/switch) in my code:

 

<?php

function is_valid_email($email) 
{
  $result = TRUE;
  if(!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4})$", $email)) {
    $result = FALSE;
  }
  return $result;
}

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
    
$error = '';
$name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name']);
$email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']);
$attached = $_POST['attached'];

   if(trim($name) == '')
   {
        echo   '<p>Please enter your name</p>';
   }

   if(trim($email) == '' || !is_valid_email($email))
   {
        echo   '<p>Please enter a valid email address</p>';
   }



else
{

	$target_path = "temp/";

	$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['attached']['name']);
	$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['attached']['type']);  
	$target_path = "temp/";


	$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['attached']['name']); 

	if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['attached']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
	    echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['attached']['name']). 
	    " has been uploaded";
	} 
	else
	{
	    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
	}

	$mime_type = "application/msword";

	//Begin the message.  Be sure to change this how you want it.
	$message = "Please find my CV attached";
	$headers = "From: $email";
	$to = "example@gmail.com";
	$subject = "Job Application";

	$from = $email;

	mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
	echo "<p>Thank you for submitting your details.</p>";

}

}

?>

I wouldn't rely on this too much as this is set by the browser and can be faked.

All I'd like to do is make sure that the file uploaded is either a word doc, jpg, gif, png or pdf. It can simply be a PDF or .doc file really, not fussed about the image files.

 

I'm still not sure how I'd send the file as an attachment as I'm aware of mime-type issues and setting the right mime-type depending on the file uploaded.

 

All help will be welcomed.
