Hi

 

I can't see anything wrong with the code, and I've run out of ideas why the message when delivered is always blank. The attachment works fine though. The code is below, ANY ideas would be welcomed!

if ($_POST['a'] == 'send_mail') {

// Variables
$action['to'] = 'info@sjwright.co.uk';
$action['from'] = $_POST['email'];
$action['name'] = $_POST['name'];
$action['subject'] = $_POST['subject'];
$action['num'] = md5(time());

$action['message'] = $_POST['message'];
$action['html_message'] = '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
							<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
							<head>
							<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
							<title>Email Message</title>
							<style type="text/css">
							<!--
							#wrapper {
								width: 550px;
								margin: 0 auto;
							}
							body {
								font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
								font-size: 11px;
							}
							h1, h2, h3, p {
								margin: 0px;
								padding-top: 5px;
								padding-bottom: 5px;
								color: #231F20;
							}
							h1, h2, h3 {
								font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;
								color: #E52546;
							}
							-->
							</style>
							</head>

							<body>
							<div id="wrapper">
							  <h1>Message Received via the Web Site</h1>
							  <p>Message Received from '.$action['name'].' ('.$action['email'].')</p>
							  <p>Subject: '.$action['subject'].'</p>
							  <h2>'.$action['name'].' Said:</h2>
							  <p>'.$action['message'].'</p>
							</div>
							</body>
							</html>';

if ($_FILES) {
	// Set Paths and Variables
	$action['upload_path'] = 'uploads/email_attachments';
	$action['upload'] = $_FILES['attachment'];
	$action['filename'] = basename($action['upload']['name']);

	$action['fp'] = fopen($action['upload']['tmp_name'], "rb"); 
	$action['file'] = fread($action['fp'], $action['upload']['size']); 
    	$action['file'] = chunk_split(base64_encode($action['file']));

}

// Headers
$action['headers']  = "From: ".$action['name']."<".$action['email'].">\r\n"; 
$action['headers']  = "Reply-To: ".$action['name']."<".$action['email'].">\r\n"; 
$action['headers'] .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 
$action['headers'] .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; "; 
$action['headers'] .= "boundary=".$action['num']."\r\n"; 
$action['headers'] .= "--".$action['num']."\r\n"; 
$action['headers'] .= "Message-ID: <".gettimeofday()." TheSystem@".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].">\r\n"; 
$action['headers'] .= "X-Mailer: PHP v".phpversion()."\r\n";          
$action['headers'] .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; 
$action['headers'] .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\n"; 
$action['headers'] .= "".$action['html_message']."\n"; 
$action['headers'] .= "--".$action['num']."\n";

// Headers for Attachment
if ($_FILES) {

	$action['headers'] .= "Content-Type:".$action['upload']['type']." "; 
	$action['headers'] .= "name=\"".$action['filename']."\"r\n"; 
	$action['headers'] .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n"; 
	$action['headers'] .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; "; 
	$action['headers'] .= "filename=\"".$action['filename']."\"\r\n\n"; 
	$action['headers'] .= "".$action['file']."\r\n"; 
	$action['headers'] .= "--".$action['num']."--";
}

@mail($action['to'], $action['subject'], $action['message'], $action['headers']);

fclose($action['fp']);
}

Did you mean to use $action['html_message'] instead of $action['message'] on the mail()?

 

Hi

 

Yea meant it to be coded the way it is, basically in the function, the $action['message'] is the plain-text email, and the $action['html_message'] is the HTML version, which is returned in the headers.

 

I have a feeling it is something to do with the attached file; when I have the messages generated sent to my mobileme account, it displays the html email and a load of random characters at the end which i presume is the attachment as it changes if I attach a different attachment.

 

needless to say it is winding me up no end!
