Re: Sending Attachements through php email form

Hi, I'm not aware of any existing code/samples for this, but the individual components you need to break it down into are pretty straight forward: 1. Learn about forms, validation of user input, and in particular file uploads (which there is a perfect library of working code in the manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php) 2. Then learn about the filesystem functions, in particular, how to read the contents of the uploaded file into a string, then later about deleting files, etc etc. from the manual http://php.net/fread: <? // get contents of a file into a string $filename = "/usr/local/something.txt"; $fd = fopen ($filename, "r"); $contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename)); fclose ($fd); ?> 3. Then learn a bit about mail() (http://php.net/mail), but really what you need to do from there is to go over to phpclasses.org, and look at manual lemos' mime-mail class (unsure of the exact name), which deals with HTML mail, multi part email, attachments to emails, and everything else you could possibly need to send an email with an attachment.
