Re: Attaching File to be Emailed

I think the OP was about how to send e-mail attachments - not a question about send a file to the client browser... 1) Read the manual about the function "mail" (especially the user notes) http://se2.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php 2) Google for e.g. "php mail attachment" Come back to this list when you have further questions. /frank 24 nov 2006 kl. 06.30 skrev Travis Doherty:

I need to take a word document or pdf file from either a MySQL db or from a directory, which will then be sent via php script. How can I go about doing this? Can anyone provide sample code or point me in the right direction.

Brian Dunning started a thread about nine minutes before you on sending a file to the browser. "Serving out a file to Firefox ... headers?" That's pretty much all you need to do to read from a file (adding in whatever fixes the problem he is experiencing with FireFox of course.) If you wanted to store the data in a MySQL database it would be the same procedure, except you would query the database (BLOB column type) and echo that data instead of using readfile() to get your data.
