mail() and pdf attachment

[damezumari]

I am trying to send a pdf file as an attachment with the mail()
function. Unfortunately, the pdf file does not show up as an
attachment. I get its coding as text along with this:

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="==Multipart_Boundary_x893cd7b85e299baba9 cd7ab913384411x"

--==Multipart_Boundary_x893cd7b85e299baba9cd7ab91338 4411x
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

this is the message

--==Multipart_Boundary_x893cd7b85e299baba9cd7ab91338 4411x
Content-Type: application/pdf;
name="Test file for jmail.pdf"
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="Test file for jmail.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

Can anyone tell me what is wrong?

Hi Michael,

Thank you for answering!

$fromname = $_SESSION['myname'];
$fromaddress = $_SESSION['myemailaddress'];
$headers = "From: \"".$fromname."\" <".$fromaddress.">\n";
$bcc = $_SESSION['myemailaddress'];
$headers .= 'Bcc: '.$bcc. "\n";
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

This was my offending code!

I had too many line shifts (\n) in $headers.

I changed the last line to:

$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

and then it worked!

Jan Nordgreen

Ahh that explains a lot.
I'm glad to hear you got it to work ;-)
