mail()

[dudejma]

I'm trying to send mail with an attachment and it doesn't even try to send it. I'm not very experienced with mail or attachments, this is the first script with attachments I have every used. I'm not sure if I did it all right or not because I read a tutorial on it. Here's the code:

 

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$getPilots = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE emailOption = '1' AND status = '1'";
$runGetPilots = mysql_query($getPilots);
$emails_arr = array();
$info = mysql_fetch_array($runGetPilots);
$emails_arr[] = $info['email'];
$to = implode(', ', $emails_arr);
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = stripslashes($_POST['message']);
$fileName = $_POST['newsletter'];
$fileType = substr($fileName, strlen($fileName)-4, strlen($fileName));
$contents = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents("../newsletter/$fileName")));
$uid = md5(uniqid(time()));
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "From: Virtual American <noreply@virtualamerican.org>\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: Virtual American <noreply@virtualamerican.org>\r\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: Virtual American <noreply@virtualamerican.org>\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP". phpversion() ."\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"".$uid."\"\r\n\r\n";
$headers .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n";
$headers .= "--".$uid."\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n";
$headers .= $message."\r\n\r\n";
$headers .= "--".$uid."\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: ".$fileType."; name=\"".$fileName."\"\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$fileName."\"\r\n\r\n";
$headers .= $contents."\r\n\r\n";

if (!mail($to,$subject,"",$headers)) {

$errors .= "There was an error sending the email(s). Please contact the webmaster. <br />";
error_log("The mail didn't work!",0);
} else {

header("Location: ac.php?message=1");

}

} else {}

 

I'm sure there is more to include, but I'm not exactly sure what, maybe the form?

 

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
					<table border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="6">
					<tr>
					<td><b>Subject: </b></td>
					<td><input type="text" name="subject" value="<?php echo $_POST['subject']; ?>" size="24" maxlength="70" /></td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
					<td><b>Message: </b></td>
					<td><textarea cols="40" rows="20" name="message"><?php echo $_POST['message']; ?></textarea></td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
					<td><b>Newsletter: </b></td>
					<td><select name="newsletter">
					<?php
					$handle = opendir("../newsletter");
					while (false !== ($entry = readdir($handle))) {
					if ($_POST['newsletter'] == $entry) {
					$selected = 'selected="selected"';
					} else {
					$selected = "";
					}
					if ($entry != "." && $entry != "..") {
        				echo '<option value="' . $entry . '" $selected>' . $entry . '</option>';
					}
					}
					echo '</select>';
					?>

I recommend trying out the phpMailer class - makes PHP mail a piece of cake!
