Can anyone help.
I have code which will send email with an attachment via PHP however
when it arrives to the destination email the PDF file is empty. I have
come across a few emails where people have had the same problem but no
answers.
Any ideas?
Using the normal mail() function with the code below:
$to = $email;
$from = "info@webpage.co.uk";
$subject = "Thank you for downloading the document";
$message = "Dear $username,<br>
Thank you for taking the time to subscribe for
our free document.<br>
Please find the document attached to this
email.";
// Obtain file upload vars
$fileatt = "db/"; // Location of file on server
$fileatt_type = "application/pdf";// Type of file being sent
$fileatt_name = "webopman.pdf";// Name of file
$headers = "From: $from";
// If the file exists...
if (file_exists($fileatt)) {
// Read the file to be attached ('rb' = read binary)
$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);
// Generate a boundary string
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
// Add the headers for a file attachment
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
// Add a multipart boundary above the plain message
$message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
$message . "\n\n";
// Base64 encode the file data
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
// Add file attachment to the message
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" .
" name=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
//"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .
//" filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
$data . "\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}--\n";
}
$ok = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
Real stuck here.
