passthru question

[dennismonsewicz]

if(file_exists($file)) {
		$cmd = "uuencode " . escapeshellarg($file) . " " . escapeshellarg($attachment_name) . " | mail -s 'Test' [email protected]"; 
		if(passthru($cmd)) {
			echo '<p>File Sent Sucessfully!</p>';
		} else {
			echo '<p>File Could Not Be Sent! </p>';
		}
	} else {
		echo '<p>File does not exist!</p>';
	}

 

So I have the above command to encode a file and send it to me with the attachment... but when I run the script I get the error message of File Could Not Be Sent! ... but I still receive the test email with the attachment...

 

Any ideas on why this is?
