This is the code ....please tell me how to add 2nd file in here..

[PHP]<?php
// Read POST request params into global vars
$to = $_POST['to'];
$from = "[e-mail]";
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

// Obtain file upload vars
$fileatt = $_FILES['fileatt']['tmp_name'];
$fileatt_type = $_FILES['fileatt']['type'];
$fileatt_name = $_FILES['fileatt']['name'];

$fileatt1 = $_FILES['fileatt1']['tmp_name'];
$fileatt1_type = $_FILES['fileatt1']['type'];
$fileatt1_name = $_FILES['fileatt1']['name'];

$headers = "From: $from";

// Read the file to be attached ('rb' = read binary)
$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);
$file1 = fopen($fileatt1,'rb');
$data1 = fread($file1,filesize($fileatt1));
fclose($file1);
// Generate a boundary string
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";

// Add the headers for a file attachment
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

// Add a multipart boundary above the plain message
$message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
$message . "\n\n";
// Base64 encode the file data
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));

// Add file attachment to the message

$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" .
" name=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
//"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .
//" filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
$data . "\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}--\n";

/*how to add 2nd file details here*/

// Send the message
$ok = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($ok) {
echo "<p>Mail sent! Yay PHP!</p>";
} else {
echo "<p>Mail could not be sent. Sorry!</p>";
}
?>
[/PHP]
