Re: it's frustrating

I found this on PHP.net It works when you hardcode the values (where I have the value arrows.gif). I've been playing with it trying to modify it to do an upload and sending of an email with any kind of attachment. <? /* * Class mime_mail * Original implementation by Sascha Schumann <sascha@schumann.cx> * Modified by Tobias Ratschiller <tobias@dnet.it>:

  *     void mime_mail()
  *     class constructor

*/ function mime_mail() { $this->parts = array(); $this->to = ""; $this->from = ""; $this->subject = ""; $this->body = ""; $this->headers = ""; } /*

                           "encode" => $encode,
                           "name" => $name
                          );

Thanks Brian for your fast respond. I tried but still the same: it doesn't work. I used the following code: ----------------------------------------------------------- $filename = 'background.gif'; $myimage = fread($fp = fopen($filename, 'r'), filesize($filename)); fclose($fp); $content = chunk_split ( base64_encode ( $myimage ) ); $boundary = 'NEXT_PART'; $message= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary='$boundary'\n"; $message.= "Mime-Version: 1.0\n"; then in the message: $message.= "--$boundary\n"; $message.= "Content-Type: image/gif; name='my_image.gif'\n"; $message.= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n"; $message.= "Content-Disposition: attachment\n\n";

$message = $content;     // here I used $message .= $content;

mail("webmaster@mweller.de","", "", $message); ----------------------------------------------------------- ""Brian Paulson"" <webmaster@chieftain.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:EPEKKECOPFJIPOEBDFAFIEIFCDAA.webmaster@chieftain.com...

Are you trying to attach it or put the image in the body of the message? If you are trying to attach it try looking at this message from the archives http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=99003506223055&w=2 Thank You Brian Paulson Sr. Web Developer The Pueblo Chieftain www.chieftain.com 1-800-279-6397
