The function (Sendmail_2 () - below) should send an email with an attachment:

The variables $Email $Email_2 $Subject $Attachedfile is the information from the form.

 

No Error Message. No Attachment

 

Please tell me what I am doing wrong that prevents the script from attaching the file to the email.

 

<?php
// processess Sendmailform.html
error_reporting(E_ALL);
// Define variables  
$Date = date("F d, Y");
// Get Data From Form
// validate expected data exists
if(isset($_POST['Email'])){
  $Email = $_POST['Email'];
}
if(isset($_POST['Email_2'])){
  $Email_2 = $_POST['Email_2'];
}
if(isset($_POST['Subject'])){
  $Subject = $_POST['Subject'];
}
if(isset($_POST['Text'])){
  $Text = $_POST['Text'];
}
if(isset($_POST['Attachedfile'])){
  $Attachedfile = $_POST['Attachedfile'];
} 
// Call Function
if(!isset($_POST['Attachedfile'])) {
  // Call Function
  Sendmail_2();
  Sendmail_1();
}

It would really help if you could give us the smallest piece of code that illustrated the problem. What you appear to be doing is saying "here is my program, please debug it for me." However, if you extracted just the part that was going wrong, you would firstly probably find out what was wrong, and secondly, make it quicker for us to help you.

 

There are many examples of mail() on the internet that illustrate how attachments work. I think I saw one today in the comments under the mail() entry in the php functions manual  online.

try this

to sent mail with attachment.....

<?php
#Send mail attaching a file along with it...
$fileatt = "address.pdf"; // Path to the file
$fileatt_type = "application/pdf"; // File Type
$fileatt_name = "mypdffile.pdf"; // Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment

$email_from = "sales@mysite.com"; // Who the email is from
$email_subject = "Your attached file"; // The Subject of the email
$email_message = "Thanks for visiting mysite.com! Here is your free file.<br>";
$email_message .= "Thanks for visiting.<br>"; // Message that the email has in it
$email_to = "dr.virus.india@gmail.com"; 
//$email_to = $_POST['email']; // Who the email is to

$headers = "From: ".$email_from;

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

$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";

$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($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";

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

if($ok) {
echo "<font face=verdana size=2><center>You file has been sent<br> to the email address you specified.<br>
Make sure to check your junk mail!<br>
Click <a href=\"#\" onclick=\"history.back();\">here</a> to return to mysite.com.</center>";

} else {
die("Sorry but the email could not be sent. Please go back and try again!");
}
?>

I think the problem is with this line:

 

if(isset($_POST['Attachedfile'])){

  $Attachedfile = $_POST['Attachedfile'];

}

 

I think if I change it to:

if(isset($_FILES['Attachedfile']['name'])) {

$Attachedfile = $_FILES['Attachedfile'];

}

 

It will allow the name of the file to be stored in the variable $Attachedfile.  Then I can use that variable elsewhere in the script.

 

I will try that and if it does not work I will give your script a try.

 

Thanks for your sugesstion!

- name contains the original path of the user uploaded file.
