Form Attachment...

Hi all, i've been struggling with creating a form that lets you add an
attachment and the attachment is sent via email.. I was wondering if
recieving attachments in an md5 form is the only way to do this.. It's
all i've found in my searching. All my attachments are going to be
..gifs or .jpegs... Thanks in advance.


below is the code:

<?php


foreach($_POST as $key => $value)
{
$$key = stripslashes($value);
}


$userfile = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
$userfile_type = $_FILES['userfile']['type'];
$userfile_name = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$userfile_size = $_FILES['userfile']['size'];
$userfile_error = $_FILES['userfile']['error'];


if(is_uploaded_file($userfile))
{
if($userfile_type !== "image/pjpeg" && $userfile_type !== "image/jpeg"
&& $userfile_type !== "image/gif" || $userfile_size > $MAX_FILE_SIZE)
{
echo "There were some problems with the form you submitted.";

if($userfile_type !== "image/pjpeg" && $userfile_type !==
"image/jpeg" && $userfile_type !== "image/gif")
{
echo '<p>You may only upload an image, either a GIF or
JPG.</p>\n';
echo "<p>Uploaded: $userfile_name, $userfile_type</p>\n";
}

if($userfile_size > $MAX_FILE_SIZE)
{
"<p>Sorry, you may not upload files greater than "
..($MAX_FILE_SIZE/1024). " KB, the file you uploaded is "
..round(($userfile_size/1024),1). " KB</p>\n";
}

include("update.php");
exit();
}
}


$hdrs = "From: $email";




$myemail = "$email";



$subject = "Update Form" ;

$msg = " Business Name: $company \n
URL: $url \n
Email: $email \n
Page to Update: $page \n
Changes: $changes
";

$hdrs = "From: $email\r\n";


$orig = fopen($userfile,'rb');
$file = fread($orig,filesize($userfile));
$file = chunk_split(base64_encode($file));
fclose($orig);


$bndry = "=====FormMailer".md5(time())."=====";

$hdrs .= "\nMIME-VERSION: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n boundary=\"$bndry\";";

$msg .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
"--$bndry\n" .
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
$msg .
"--$bndry\n" .
"Content-Type: $userfile_type;\n name=\"$userfile_name\"\n" .
"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n
filename=\"$userfile_name\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
$file .
"\n--$bndry";

mail($myemail, $subject, $msg, $hdrs);

?>

"md5 form" I don't know what you mean.

If you wish to send binary data through mail you need to put it into mime
format.

The mime format includes various headers (which it looks like your mail is
doing) and it needs to encode the binary data, normally using base64 (and
again it looks like you are doing that).

I wonder about the following line
: $hdrs .= "\nMIME-VERSION: 1.0\n" .

it adds a new line at the start of the header, which is likely wrong - the
mime-version header must be part of the initial block of headers at the
top of the message.

I don't know the mail() function well enough off hand to know if you are
using it correctly.

What exactly is going wrong?

(snip snip snip)

You haven't shown the top headers of the message. The headers you don't
show must have an error.

The lines you _do_ show look like they are probably correct. If the mail
client had the correct top headers then I am guessing that this would
display as an attachment.

I suspect that the MIME-Version header (which is one of the line you don't
who us) is incorrectly placed because it had a \n at the front, which is
likely wrong.
