[Jordan1987x]

How do i add an upload image option ((<input type="file" name="picture" />)) at the bottom of this form and get it to send the image with the form info to my email ? 

Everything works properly I just want the applicant to also be able to add a photo and send it with their info on the form and me receive it in the email...... Im new to all this.... any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Here is the current code:

<?php $name = $_POST['name'];

 

$email = $_POST['email'];

$number = $_POST['number'];

$alias = $_POST['alias'];

$location = $_POST['location'];

There's a lot more code needed to achieve what you want.  If you don't understand how to upload files via a form, I would suggest checking out phpacademy on youtube and watch some of his tutorials on the subject.  Once you understand how to actually upload the file, then I would suggest simply storing the file on your server and just use a <img> tag with an absolute url in the href to view the image rather than sending the file in the email too.  Sending email file attachments is a whole other subject in itself.  

 

One key piece of info, you'll want to set a couple additional headers in the email code.  One specific would be the Content-Type of text/html.  You can google stuff on that.  But if you really want to make it easier in the long run and learn some too, get PHPMailer and use that to send your emails.  It will automatically include all the needed things to properly send an email, it will also allow you to do easy attachments if you really wanted.
