Re: sending attachments via mail(), possible?

You have to open the file and encode it. Check out this: <html> <head> <title>FitnessQuest FTP user request form - results</title> </head> <body> <?php $date = exec("date"); $border="--==================_856811060==_"; /* Define the attachment and encode it base64 */ $filename="/var/www/sf/Ftp_User_Info.doc"; $fd = fopen($filename, "r"); $contents = fread($fd, filesize($filename)); $encoded=chunk_split(base64_encode($contents)); fclose($fd); /* Trim white spaces */ $request_by = trim($request_by); $email = trim($email); $company = trim($company); /* testing if form is filled out */ if (empty($email) ) { print "<h1>FAILED!</h1>"; print "<p>This form can't be sent! You did not fill the form out <b>completely!</b><br>The email address is missing!<br>"; print "<br><br>Please click the <b>back</b> button and fill in the email address<br>"; print "Thank you"; return; } if (empty($dr_ret) ) { print "<h1>FAILED!</h1>"; print "<p>This form can't be sent! You did not fill the form out <b>completely!</b><br>The system is not selected!<br>"; print "<br><br>Please click the <b>back</b> button and select a system (DR or Retail)<br>"; print "Thank you"; return; } #/* recipients */ $recipient = $email; #/* subject */ $subject = "FitnessQuest FTP account form"; #/* message */ $message .= "--$border\n"; $message .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii\n\n"; $message .= "Attached is a FTP account access form.
