Re: Email with attachment function

Hi Mark, don't try to invent the wheel twice. There are great functions for that already available. Try to search for phpmailer. Thats a great one. Merlin Mark Cubitt wrote:

Hello, I'm trying to write a function that sends an email with an attachment using sendmail, But I can't seem to get it working, the code I currently have is below, Any ideas would be much appreciated. I'm probably doing something stupid as the output is what its meant to be except it isn't divided up (i.e. attachment is text) Regards Mark Cubitt <CODE> function send_mail($to, $from, $subject, $body, $attachment = '', $attachmentDir = '') {
