mail attachment nightmare

[dennismonsewicz]

here is the code I am using:

 

$fileatt = $file; // Path to the file
				$fileatt_type = "application/octet-stream"; // File Type
				$fileatt_name = "filename.xls"; // Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment

				$email_from = "[email protected]"; // Who the email is from
				$email_subject = "subject here"; // The Subject of the email
				$email_message = "This is a test"; // Message that the email has in it

				$email_to = "[email protected]"; // Who the email is too

				$headers = "From: ".$email_from;



				$semi_rand = md5(time());
				$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";

				$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
				"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
				" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

				$email_message .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
				"--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
				"Content-Type:text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
				"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
				$email_message . "\n\n";

				$attached_file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
				$data = fread($attached_file,filesize($fileatt));
				fclose($attached_file);


				$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));

				$email_message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
				"Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" .
				" name=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
				//"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .
				//" filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
				"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
				$data . "\n\n" .
				"--{$mime_boundary}\n";
				unset($data);
				unset($attached_file);
				unset($fileatt);
				unset($fileatt_type);
				unset($fileatt_name);

				$ok = @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);

				if($ok) {
				echo "The file was successfully sent!";
				} else {
				die("Sorry but the email could not be sent. Please go back and try again!");
				}

 

The email I receive has a bunch of coded jumbly goop with no attachment...
