can't see email BODY when sending email with attachment

[Dreea]

Hy all....
I tried several functions found on the internet and i don't seem to figure what the problem is... this is one of the example i tryied

function sendMail($sendto, $subject, $message, $from, $filesToAttach=NULL)
{
    $i=0;    
    $mime_boundary = md5(time());
    $htmlalt_mime_boundary = $mime_boundary."_htmlalt"; //we must define a different MIME boundary for this section
 
    $msg = "--".$mime_boundary."\r\n";    
      $msg .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"".$htmlalt_mime_boundary."\"\r\n\r\n";
      # HTML Version
      $msg .= "--".$htmlalt_mime_boundary."\r\n";
      $msg .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";  
      $msg .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\n";
     $msg .= $message."\r\n\r\n";
 
  //close the html/plain text alternate portion
  $msg .= "--".$htmlalt_mime_boundary."--\r\n\r\n";
 
 
    while (isset($filesToAttach[$i]))
    {    
        $fileSize = filesize($filesToAttach[$i]);
        $fileType = filetype($filesToAttach[$i]);
 
        // get the content of the file in a string
        $PtrAttachedFile = fopen($filesToAttach[$i],"r");
        $StrAttachedFile = fread($PtrAttachedFile, $fileSize);
        fclose($PtrAttachedFile);
 
        //base64 encoding. Because the file must be in this format to be sent with a mail client
        $FileToAttach64 = base64_encode($StrAttachedFile);
        //RFC 2045 norm 
        $FileToAttach64 = chunk_split($FileToAttach64, 64 , "\r\n");
 
        //Creation of the header. The "--some random text " string is to mark the file to send. It is used later in the $sender.
        $HeaderAttachedFile = "\r\n--".$mime_boundary."\r\nContent-Type: ".$fileType.";\r\n name=\"".$filesToAttach[$i]."\"\r\n"."Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\nContent-Disposition: attachment;\r\n filename=\"".$filesToAttach[$i]."\"\r\n\r\n";
 
        // we specify the attachement in the recipient 
        $msg .="\r\n".$HeaderAttachedFile.$FileToAttach64;
        $i++;
    }    
 
    $msg .= "--".$mime_boundary."--\r\n\r\n";
 
    $sender .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-Type: multipart/mixed;".chr(13).chr(10).chr(9)."boundary=\"".$mime_boundary."\"\n";
    $a=mail($sendto, $subject, $msg, $sender);
 
    return $a;
}
 

when i receive the email I only see the subject and the attachments... I don't have any ideea why can't I see the body.
If anybody can point out to what i am doing wrong, i will be gratefull

I haven't tried multipart mime on my own. I use http://pear.php.net/packages.php?catpid=14&catname=Mail and I highly recommend it. Whenever I've tried to build my own email modules, it works on 80% of stuff and then AOL can't see stuff (can you believe there are dopes still paying them?) or Outlook has a problem (as does all Microsoft stuff). Using PEAR though takes care of all of them (that I've experienced, anyway).
