Email Attachment Sending

Recommended Posts

Hi

OK so all the things in the world I can do with mail() I just cant figure out how to attach a file to the email sent.

Can Anyone  tell me the Header information etc that is needed for this. And does the file need uploading before its sent??? Tutorials? I mean good ones not crap ones!

cheers
