I have written / edited / downloaded a script that will take an attachment from a form and attach it to an email.  It works just fine...but if no attachment is selected in the html form...I get an "ATT00019.dat" attachment in the email.

 

How would I change this code to NOT include an attachment if none is selected?

 

Thanks.

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);

Take these lines

 

$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

 

and put an if statement around them

 

if ($attachment) {

 

$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

 

}

 

This basically then says if $attachment has a value to include these lines in your message which are the applicable lines for including the attachment in your email.

Instead of using what I gave you use this..

 

if(isset($_FILES['attachment'])) {

$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

}

still getting a .dat attachment...

$msg = $_REQUEST['message'];

$name = $_REQUEST['name'];

}

?> 

I echoed out $attachment and $attachment_name...and with an attachment in the html form, it echoed out just fine...with no attachment in the html form, it didn't echo anything.

 

Here's my html form...if that helps

 

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="send" action="formprocess.php">
<table border="0" bgcolor="#ececec" cellspacing="5">
<tr><td>Senders Name</td><td><input type="text" size="30" name="name"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Senders Email address</td><td><input type="text" size="30" name="emailaddr"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Email Subject</td><td><input type="text" size="30" name="subject"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Message</td><td><textarea name="message" rows="6" cols="30"></textarea></td></tr>
<tr><td>Attachment</td><td><input type="file" name="attachment" size="50" /></td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td><input type="submit" value="Send"></td></tr>
</table>
</form>

Now, I'm getting a text file in the attachment...even though I haven't selected anything to attach.

I got it...get rid of all the headers in the second part of the "else" and it works...
