Issues with sending email through PHP mail() function message text not in email

[TGWSE_GY]

Everything about the email is sending except the message text does anyone know what the issue could be?

 

here is the block of code that sends the email

Thanks in advance

$image = "http://www.visualrealityink.com/dev/clients/arzan/snell_form/images/email.png";
 	 echo "got to process form";
	$target_path = "upload/";                   
	$path = $target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['file']['name']);                  
	$boundary = '-----=' . md5( uniqid ( rand() ) );

	$message .= "Content-Type: application/msword; name=\"my attachment\"\n";
	$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
	$message .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$path\"\n\n";


	echo $path;
	$fp = fopen($path, 'r');
	do //we loop until there is no data left
	{
			$data = fread($fp, 8192);
			if (strlen($data) == 0) break;
			$content .= $data;
		  } while (true);
	$content_encode = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
	$message .= $content_encode . "\n";
	$message .= "--" . $boundary . "\n";
	$message .= $image . "<br />" . $_POST['name'] . "submitted a resume on our website. Please review the applications and contact the candidate if their resume is a fit for any open opportunities with the company. <br><br> Thank you. <br><br> SEI Team";
	$headers  = "From: \"Me\"<me@example.com>\n";
	$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
	$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$boundary\"";
	mail('george@visualrealityink.com', 'Email with attachment from PHP', $headers, $message);

Was $message defined before appending more information to it? All i see is $message .=

[TGWSE_GY]

Yes $message and $content are both called right before $image=........

I set $message = ""; and $content ="";

 

I am so confused at this point, doesn't make much sense that the body isn't getting delivered along with the message.

Am I not putting the headers together right, or the message? Or is it the way its being sent to mail()?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks again

Listing of the mail() parameters -

Description

bool mail ( string $to , string $subject , string $message [, string $additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters ]] )

 

[TGWSE_GY]

when I do

mail( $to, $subject, $body, $headers );

the message is never sent, this is per the instructions

Description

bool mail ( string $to , string $subject , string $message [, string $additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters ]] )

however when I run

mail( $to, $subject, $headers, $body );

the email is sent but the body of the message is blank.

 

Seems to be an odd trade off either the attachment gets delivered with no body text, or the email doesn't get delivered at all. Anyone ever had similar issues? Or know what could be causing it to go haywhire?

 

Thanks again

That's because you don't have a variable called $body. It's $message.

 

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

On my phone atm, glad to know they were defined. I can't see the full code from my phone go figure. I will check back when I get home.

Ok for security and other purposes I went to just phpMailer! its more friendly as far as attachments go plus more secure I think

 

Thanks for all the help guys!!!!!!
