note 83825 added to ref.mail

I have fixed the file attachment with any file type function using the proper set of \r\n terminator, as stated above email blocks are very sensitive and care should be taken when composing attachment... the function below has been tested with xls xlsx excel files zip, pdf, doc just set the appropriate filetype attribute and send it along with the other information to the function... function send_mail($to,$cc, $body, $subject, $fromaddress, $fromname, $attachments,$filetype) { $eol="\r\n"; $mime_boundary=md5(time()); # Common Headers $headers .= "From: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol; $headers .= "Reply-To: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol; $headers .= "Return-Path: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol; // these two to set reply address $headers .= "To: ".$to.$eol; // these two to set reply address $headers .= "Cc: ".$cc.$eol; // these two to set reply address $headers .= "Message-ID: <".time()."-".$fromaddress.">".$eol; $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP v".phpversion().$eol; // These two to help avoid spam-filters # Boundry for marking the split & Multitype Headers $headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0'.$eol; $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"".$mime_boundary."\"".$eol.$eol; # Open the first part of the mail $msg = "--".$mime_boundary.$eol; $htmlalt_mime_boundary = $mime_boundary."_htmlalt"; //we must define a different MIME boundary for this section # Setup for text OR html - $msg .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"".$htmlalt_mime_boundary."\"".$eol; # HTML Version $msg .= "--".$htmlalt_mime_boundary.$eol; $msg .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1".$eol; $msg .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit".$eol; $msg .= $body.$eol; //close the html/plain text alternate portion $msg .= "--".$htmlalt_mime_boundary."--".$eol.$eol; # File for Attachment $file_name = $attachments; echo $file_name; $handle=fopen($attachments, 'rb'); $f_contents=fread($handle, filesize($attachments)); $f_contents=chunk_split(base64_encode($f_contents)); //Encode The Data For Transition using base64_encode(); $f_type=filetype($attachments); fclose($handle); # Attachment $msg .= "--".$mime_boundary.$eol; $msg .= "Content-Type: ".$filetype."; name=\"".$file_name."\"".$eol; // sometimes i have to send MS Word, use 'msword' instead of 'pdf' $msg .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64".$eol; $msg .= "Content-Description: ".$file_name.$eol; $msg .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$file_name."\"".$eol.$eol; // !!
