Sending Emails with Attachments

[atheneris]

Hello,

I'm trying to send an email with a PDF attachment. The email is sending, but the attachment will not open. Any help you can give is appreciated. Code snippets below:

 

function mail_attachment($filename, $path, $mailto, $from_mail, $from_name, $replyto, $subject, $message) {

    $file = $path.$filename;

    $file_size = filesize($file);

    $handle = fopen($file, "r");

    $content = fread($handle, $file_size);

    fclose($handle);

    $content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));

    $uid = md5(uniqid(time()));

    $name = basename($file);

    $header = "From: ".$from_name." <".$from_mail.">\r\n";

    $header .= "Reply-To: ".$replyto."\r\n";

    $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";

    $header .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"".$uid."\"\r\n\r\n";

    $header .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n";

    $header .= "--".$uid."\r\n";

    $header .= "Content-type:text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

    $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n";

    $header .= $message."\r\n\r\n";

    $header .= "--".$uid."\r\n";

    $header .= "Content-Type: application/pdf; name=\"".$filename."\"\r\n"; // use different content types here

    $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";

    $header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$filename."\"\r\n\r\n";

    $header .= $content."\r\n\r\n";

    $header .= "--".$uid."--";

    if (mail($mailto, $subject, "", $header)) {

        print("mail send ... OK"); // or use booleans here

    } else {

        print("mail send ... ERROR!");

    }

}

 

$my_file = "Adol_Packet_v2.pdf";

$my_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/homepages/35/d350375870/htdocs/html/";

$my_name = "Company Name";

$my_mail = "atheneris@yahoo.com";

$my_replyto = "atheneris@yahoo.com";

$my_subject = "Welcome Email From Carlock & Associates";

 

$my_message = "Test Message";

 

mail_attachment($my_file, $my_path, $email_to, $my_mail, $my_name, $my_replyto, $my_subject, $my_message);

So is the attachment being sent ?

 

if so can you post the file that was received.

[atheneris]

The attachment is being sent. I'm getting an error when I try to open it that the file is either not a pdf or has been corrupted.

[MadTechie]

really need to see the file, without it, it makes it harder to find the problem,

[atheneris]

The PHP file or the sent email file?

[BlueSkyIS]

question: are you able to manually email the PDF and receive it without error?

 

if so, you might want to try sending with this class. i use it to send pdf's all the time.

I can manually send the PDF and receive it with no errors. It's also viewed (from the same server) on the company website. It's only when I send with PHP that there is a problem.

BlueSkyIS, I tried that email function, but get an error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in homepages/35/htdocs/html/Rmail.php on line 23.

 

I have not changed anything in the Rmail.php file.

[BlueSkyIS]

i suspect you are not using PHP 5, which is required by that class.

[MadTechie]

The PHP file or the sent email file?

 

The PDF that was received by the clients email,

 

try adding this

 

after

    $file = $path.$filename;

add

    if(!file_exists($file)){
        echo "File not Found";
        return false;
    }
