PHP and Outlook

I have an application part of which sends an email with attachment. I
have implemented this in php, BUT now the customer wants it to appear in
his Outlook email application (so he can amend defaults etc.)
I cannot find a way to get outlook to accept the attachment using the
mailto:
Is there another way? Can it be done, or is it inhibited by Outlook?
TIA

Not sure that anyone can even think to implement this.

If it is a web based application that the customer has been using to
send email with or without attachments and they want to do that in
Outlook than you should tell them just to use Outlook to send email
because that's what it is meant to do.
