RE: [PHP] problems with attachment to email for mail() function

anyone on this... a few have suggested "install this class" and so forth. That is not the point. the goal is to correctly format and encode the simple message with attachment so we can customize things from there. The classes available for this are great, but defeat the purpose of understanding. looking forward to comments or suggestions.
