I have a contact form with multiple attachings using a single input type file. (It uses multiples, but they disappear and a new one gets made)

A test of it can be seen here http://www.developers-community.com/support.php

Just use the browse option.

 

I'm wondering how to send it with attachments coming up shown in the email when recieved on the other end.

This is my form. (Echo'd)

echo "<table width=\"36%\" border=\"0\">
    <form action=\"\" method=\"post\" onSubmit=\"rememberinput('forename', 'surname', 'email', 'subject', 'message')\">    
    <tr>
      <td>
  <div id=\"files_list\"></div>
  <div style=\"margin-right:250px;\"><span style=\"color: #F00\">*</span>Your Full Name ".$error['name']."<br />
  <input type=\"text\" name=\"forename\" id=\"name\" value=\"forename\"
      onfocus=\"if(this.value=='forename'){this.value='';}\" 
      onblur=\"if(this.value==''){this.value='forename';}\" class=\"textboxsup\" size=\"22\"/> 
      <input type=\"text\" name=\"surname\" id=\"surname\" value=\"surname\"
      onfocus=\"if(this.value=='surname'){this.value='';}\" 
      onblur=\"if(this.value==''){this.value='surname';}\" class=\"textboxsup\" size=\"22\"/><br />
      
      <span style=\"color: #F00\">*</span>Your Email Address ".$error['email']."<br />
      <input name=\"email\" type=\"text\" id=\"email\" value=\"".$_POST['email']."\" size=\"50\" class=\"textboxsup\"/><br />

  <span style=\"color: #F00\">*</span>Subject ".$error['subject']."<br />
      <input name=\"subject\" type=\"text\" id=\"subject\" value=\"".$_POST['subject']."\" size=\"50\" class=\"textboxsup\"/><br />
  
  Add An Attachment (optional)<br />
  <input id=\"my_file_element\" type=\"file\" name=\"file_1\" size=\"45\" class=\"textboxsup\"></div>
  <script>
  var multi_selector = new MultiSelector(document.getElementById('files_list'), 6);
  multi_selector.addElement(document.getElementById('my_file_element'));
  </script>
  </td></tr>

I have the file element, with a div which is floated right which displays the files.

 

Here is the javascript function behind it.

function MultiSelector( list_target, max ){
this.list_target = list_target;
this.count = 0;
this.id = 0;
if( max ){
	this.max = max;
} else {
	this.max = -1;
};

this.addElement = function( element ){
	if( element.tagName == 'INPUT' && element.type == 'file' ){
		element.name = 'file_' + this.id++;
		element.multi_selector = this;
		element.onchange = function(){

			var new_element = document.createElement( 'input' );
			new_element.type = 'file';
			new_element.size = '45';
			new_element.setAttribute('style', 'font:100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;');

			this.parentNode.insertBefore( new_element, this );
			this.multi_selector.addElement( new_element );
			this.multi_selector.addListRow(this);

			this.style.position = 'absolute';
			this.style.display = 'none';
		};
		if( this.max != -1 && this.count >= this.max ){
			element.disabled = true;
		};

		this.count++;
		this.current_element = element;	

	} else {
		alert( 'Error: not a file input element' );
	};
};

this.addListRow = function( element ){

	var new_row = document.createElement( 'div' );
	new_row.element = element;
	new_row.setAttribute('style', 'padding:2px 10px 3px 10px; margin-bottom:1px; background:#ffc; font:100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;');

	var deletelink = document.createElement('a');
	var t = document.createTextNode("X");
	deletelink.setAttribute('href', '#');
	deletelink.setAttribute('style', 'float:right;');
	deletelink.onclick= function(){

		this.parentNode.element.parentNode.removeChild( this.parentNode.element );
		this.parentNode.parentNode.removeChild( this.parentNode );
		this.parentNode.element.multi_selector.count--;
		this.parentNode.element.multi_selector.current_element.disabled = false;

		return false;
	};

	var reduced;
	if (element.value.length > 25) {
		reduced = element.value.substr(0,25)+'...';
	} else {
		reduced = element.value;
	}

	new_row.innerHTML = reduced;

	deletelink.appendChild(t);
	new_row.appendChild(deletelink);

	this.list_target.appendChild( new_row );
};
};

The input bit to look at in the javascript file is 

this.addElement = function( element ){
	if( element.tagName == 'INPUT' && element.type == 'file' ){
		element.name = 'file_' + this.id++;
		element.multi_selector = this;
		element.onchange = function(){

			var new_element = document.createElement( 'input' );
			new_element.type = 'file';
			new_element.size = '45';
			new_element.setAttribute('style', 'font:100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;');

			this.parentNode.insertBefore( new_element, this );
			this.multi_selector.addElement( new_element );
			this.multi_selector.addListRow(this);

			this.style.position = 'absolute';
			this.style.display = 'none';

This creates a new file input field, and deletes the hides the old one.

 

So far, the email sender without attachments is this

$to = "admin@developers-community.com";
$name = "$forename $surname - Guest"; 
$body = "$message\n\n $name";
$header = "from: $name <$email>"; 
mail($to, $subject, $body, $header);

$to = $email;
$name = "$forename $surname"; 
$email = "no-reply@developers-community.com";
$body = "Dear $name,\nThank you for your mail to us. Please wait patiently while we review it and get back to you. \nMeanwhile, You can use any of the other features within http://www.developers-community.com \n\n
Your's Truly\nAdmin\nDeveloper's Community\n\nIn any case, do not reply to this email!";
$header = "from: Developers Community - Admin <$email>";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $header);

echo '<span style="color:red";>Your mail has been sent.<br />
You will recieve a reply within up to 48 hours. This may take longer on busy days.<br />
You should have recieved an email stating we have recieved your mail, this may be in your Junk Folder.</span>';

 

Can anyone point me in the right right direction to sending the attachments?

Thanks.

http://www.geekology.co.za/blog/2009/06/sending-emails-with-attachments-using-php-mail-function/

I looked at this, but this is sending attachments with:

$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents("geekology.zip")));

 

Though I'm not sure what that'd be for my php, as it uses multiple attachments, with multiple file fields, along with the ID's of each one.

I'm not bumping, I'm just posting updates to how far I've got. I actually have something now.

What i've got, is a full script, I have a maximum of 6 fields. The javascript for the form is shown in the first post.

When I send a mail, it sends perfectly fine. Though it doesn't get an attachment at all.

This is what i've got.

	echo'<center>';
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$forename = $_POST['forename'];
$surname = $_POST['surname'];
$regex = "^[_+a-z0-9-]+(\.[_+a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]{1,})*\.([a-z]{2,}){1}$"; 
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$user_code = $_POST['captcha'];

if(!$forename || !$surname || $forename == 'forenames' || $surname == 'surname'){
	$error['name'] = '- <span style="color:red;">Required!</span>';
}

if(!$email || !eregi($regex,($email))){
	$error['email'] = '- <span style="color:red;">Required!</span>';
}

if(!$subject || strlen($subject = trim($subject)) == 0){
	$error['subject'] = '- <span style="color:red;">Required!</span>';
}

if(!$message || strlen($message = trim($message)) == 0){
$error['message'] = '- <span style="color:red;">Required!</span>';
    }
elseif(strlen($message) < 10){
	$error['message'] = '- <span style="color:red;">Below 10 characters!</span>';
}

if (!$user_code){
$error['captcha'] = '- <span style="color:red;">Required!</span>';
}
elseif ($user_code != $_SESSION['ckey']){
$error['captcha'] = '- <span style="color:red;">Incorrect try again!</span>';
}

if(!isset($error)){

$mime_boundary="==Multipart_Boundary_x".md5(mt_rand())."x";
$to = "admin@developers-community.com";
$name = "$forename $surname - Guest"; 
$from = stripslashes($name)."<".stripslashes($email).">";

$header = "From: $from\r\n" . "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" . "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\r\n" . " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
$body = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
      "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
      "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
      "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n$message\n\n $name\n\n";

   foreach($_FILES as $userfile){
      $tmp_name = $userfile['tmp_name'];
      $type = $userfile['type'];
      $name = $userfile['name'];
      $size = $userfile['size'];

      if (file_exists($tmp_name)){
         if(is_uploaded_file($tmp_name)){
            $file = fopen($tmp_name,'rb');
            $data = fread($file,filesize($tmp_name));
            fclose($file);
     
            $data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
         }

   $body .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . "Content-Type: {$type};\n" . " name=\"{$name}\"\n" . "Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .
            " filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . $data . "\n\n";
      }
   }
   $body .="--{$mime_boundary}--\n";
  
   mail($to, $subject, $body, $header);

$to = $email;
$name = "$forename $surname"; 
$email = "no-reply@developers-community.com";
$body = "Dear $name,\nThank you for your mail to us. Please wait patiently while we review it and get back to you. \nMeanwhile, You can use any of the other features within http://www.developers-community.com \n\n
