how to attach files residing on the server

[omerbutt]

Hi i am trying to send email with attachments , i am using the same code at another application and the only difference is that one is getting the file from the user means the user submits and the other one is attaching the file already residing on the server and this one does not work , means the file size is shown 0KB in the mail and when i download and open it , it says

"Excel cannot open the file because the file format or the file extension is not valid. verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file"

here is the code i am using

<?php 
    include("..\config.php");
    if(!empty($_POST['file_idZ'])){
        $file_idZ        =    $_POST['file_idZ'];
        $files_array    =    explode("|",$file_idZ);
 
        $q="SELECT * from ".CALL_FILES." WHERE";
 
        for($r=0; $r<sizeof($files_array); $r++){
            $q.=" file_id='".$files_array[$r]."' OR";
        }
        $limit=strlen($q)-3;
        $q=substr($q,0,$limit);
 
        $r    =    execute($q);
 
        $count=0;
        if(mysql_num_rows($r)){
            while($f=mysql_fetch_array($r)){
                $userfile[$count]="../".DOCS.$f["file_name"];
                $count++;
            }
        }
        // we'll begin by assigning the To address and message subject
        $to        =    $_POST['send_to_email'];
 
        $subject="Call group files recieved";
 
        $from    =    $_SESSION['SESSION_user_email'];
 
        // get the sender's name and email address
        // we'll just plug them a variable to be used later
        $from = stripslashes($from);
 
        // generate a random string to be used as the boundary marker
        $mime_boundary="==Multipart_Boundary_x".md5(mt_rand())."x";
 
        // now we'll build the message headers
        $headers = "From: $from\r\n" ."MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" ."Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\r\n" ." boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
        // here, we'll start the message body.
        // this is the text that will be displayed
        // in the e-mail
        $message = "From: ".$from."\r\n";   
 
        // next, we'll build the invisible portion of the message body
        // note that we insert two dashes in front of the MIME boundary
        // when we use it
        $message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" ."--{$mime_boundary}\n" ."Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" ."Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
        $message . "\n\n";
 
        // now we'll process our uploaded files
        for($e=0; $e<sizeof($userfile); $e++){
          // store the file information to variables for easier access
          $tmp_name = $userfile[$e];
          $name = basename($userfile[$e]);
          $size = filesize($userfile[$e]);
          $type="application/octet-stream ";
          //}
          // if the upload succeded, the file will exist
          if (file_exists($tmp_name)){

                // read the file content into a variable
                $data = fread($file,filesize($tmp_name)) or die("Cant read the file");
 
                // close the file
                fclose($file);
 
                // now we encode it and split it into acceptable length lines
                $data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
             }
 
             // now we'll insert a boundary to indicate we're starting the attachment
             // we have to specify the content type, file name, and disposition as
             // an attachment, then add the file content.
             // NOTE: we don't set another boundary to indicate that the end of the
             // file has been reached here. we only want one boundary between each file
             // we'll add the final one after the loop finishes.
