The email will be trickier, but I trust you can use google to figure out how to email attachments, I will not do that google for you.

That  tutorial does not look complete like what is in

<?php
include 'config.php';
include 'opendb.php'

Because of the general purpose nature of programming, there are dozens of ways of accomplishing any task and a great amount of inference * is required to take code examples and apply them to your specific situation.

 

config.php probably contains configuration settings. opendb.php probably contains code to connect to and select a database.

 

* Inference is the process of drawing a conclusion by applying rules (of logic, statistics etc.) to observations or hypothesis; or by interpolating the next logical step in an intuited pattern.

Just replace those line with mysql_connect and mysql_select_db.
