[jQuery]Pleas help sending email attachments

lingo5 · December 8, 2011

I am using jquery to attach multiple files.

I have put together this script that sends an email with attachments, but it doesn't send the attachments....I can't see what I have done wrong.

Please help. Thanks

I have no idea how to do this with jQuery. However, I have just been learning how to do it with PHP Mailer and can tell you it is as simple as anything with this script (takes about half an hour to get used to everything about it). You might want to consider looking into it

$mail->AddAttachment("Document to attach.extension", "[optional]Alternative name for attachment"); // attachment

Thanks Joe92, would you help me with it if I post my html form?

joe92 · December 8, 2011

Yeah sure, when you download PHP Mailer it comes with quite a few example scripts. It uses OOP. Here's a sample script I edited to use only the options I need:

<?php
$HTML_message = '<div style="color:#FF000;margin-left:5em;">HTML Testing message with red text and a margin</div>';

require_once '../class.phpmailer.php';

$mail = new PHPMailer(true); //defaults to using php "mail()"; the true param means it will throw exceptions on errors, which we need to catch

  $mail->AddReplyTo('name@yourdomain.com', 'First Last');                              //who to reply too
  $mail->SetFrom('name@yourdomain.com', 'First Last');                                 // who sent it
  $mail->Subject = 'PHPMailer Test Email';                                             // title of email
  $mail->AltBody = 'To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!'; // optional non html message- MsgHTML will create an alternate automatically
  $mail->MsgHTML($HTML_message);                                                       // your html message
  $mail->AddAttachment('images/phpmailer.gif');                                        // attachment
  $mail->AddAttachment('images/phpmailer_mini.gif');                                   // another attachment
  $mail->Send();                                                                       // send the email!
?>

Have you made sure the file is definitely being uploaded?

Thanks Joe92,

I have actually made a lot of progress wih the Jquery option.

I am now able to attach mutiple files and email them correctly using the Multiple File Upload JQuery plugin...which is verrry cool.

This i how I do it:

1 - download the Multiple File Upload JQuery plugin here

http://www.fyneworks.com/jquery/multiple-file-upload/#

2 - create your html form

<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/demos.css"/>
<script src="../js/jquery-1.7.js" type="text/javascript"> </script>          // link to jquery-1.7.js and jquery.MultiFile.pack.js
<script src="../js/jquery.MultiFile.pack.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript">    
</script> 
</head>
<body>
<form action="mail2.php" method="post" name="form1" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<table width="343" border="1">
<tr>
<td>To</td>
<td><input name="txtTo" type="text" id="txtTo"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Subject</td>
<td><input name="txtSubject" type="text" id="txtSubject"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Description</td>
<td><textarea name="txtDescription" cols="30" rows="4" id="txtDescription"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Form Name</td>
<td><input name="txtFormName" type="text"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<tr>
<td>Form Email</td>
<td><input name="txtFormEmail" type="text"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Attachment</td>
<td>
<input name="fileAttach[]" type="file" class="multi"><br><br> //don't forget to add class="multi" for the juery multiple selection to work
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Send"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>

3 - Create your sendmail script:

<html>
<head>
<title>ShotDev.Com Tutorial</title>
</head>
<body>
<?
$strTo = $_POST["txtTo"];
$strSubject = $_POST["txtSubject"];
$strMessage = nl2br($_POST["txtDescription"]);

//*** Uniq id Session ***//
$strSid = md5(uniqid(time()));

$strHeader = "";
$strHeader .= "From: ".$_POST["txtFormName"]."<".$_POST["txtFormEmail"].">\nReply-To: ".$_POST["txtFormEmail"]."";

$strHeader .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$strHeader .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"".$strSid."\"\n\n";
$strHeader .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n";

$strHeader .= "--".$strSid."\n";
$strHeader .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\n";
$strHeader .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n";
$strHeader .= $strMessage."\n\n";

//*** Attachment ***//
for($i=0;$i<count($_FILES["fileAttach"]["name"]);$i++)
{
if($_FILES["fileAttach"]["name"][$i] != "")
{
$strFilesName = $_FILES["fileAttach"]["name"][$i];
$strContent = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($_FILES["fileAttach"]["tmp_name"][$i])));
$strHeader .= "--".$strSid."\n";
$strHeader .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"".$strFilesName."\"\n";
$strHeader .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
$strHeader .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$strFilesName."\"\n\n";
$strHeader .= $strContent."\n\n";
}
}

$flgSend = @mail($strTo,$strSubject,null,$strHeader); // @ = No Show Error //

if($flgSend)
{
echo "Mail send completed.";
}
else
{
echo "Cannot send mail.";
}
?>
</body>
</html>

..and that's it...try it because it's quite nice...
