Re: sending attachements with mail

Here is a nice class that handles e-mail attachment. Works fine for me. py // ========== // start code // ========== <?php /* notes from Dan Potter: Sure. I changed a few other things in here too though. One is that I let you specify what the destination filename is (i.e., what is shows up as in the attachment). This is useful since in a web submission you often can't tell what the filename was supposed to be from the submission itself. I also added my own version of chunk_split because our production version of PHP doesn't have it. You can change that back or whatever though =). Finally, I added an extra "\n" before the message text gets added into the MIME output because otherwise the message text wasn't showing up. /* note: someone mentioned a command-line utility called 'mutt' that can mail attachments. */ /* If chunk_split works on your system, change the call to my_chunk_split to chunk_split */ /* Note: if you don't have base64_encode on your sytem it will not work */ // ================================================================= // simple class that encapsulates mail() with addition of mime file // attachment. // ================================================================= class CMailFile { var $subject; var $addr_to; var $text_body; var $text_encoded; var $mime_headers; var $mime_boundary = "--==================_846811060==_"; var $smtp_headers; function CMailFile($subject,$to,$from,$msg,$filename,$mimetype = "application/octet-stream", $mime_filename = false) { $this->subject = $subject; $this->addr_to = $to; $this->smtp_headers = $this->write_smtpheaders($from); $this->text_body = $this->write_body($msg); $this->text_encoded = $this->attach_file($filename,$mimetype,$mime_filename); $this->mime_headers = $this->write_mimeheaders($filename, $mime_filename); } function attach_file($filename,$mimetype,$mime_filename) { $encoded = $this->encode_file($filename); if ($mime_filename) $filename = $mime_filename; $out = "--" . $this->mime_boundary .
