<form method="POST" name="email" action="sendmail.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" onsubmit="return validateForm()";>
 
    <table border=0 cellPadding=5 cellSpacing=10 width=100%>
 
        <tr>
            <td><label for='name'>Name:</label></td>
            <td><input  type="text" name="name" maxlength="50" size="30"></td>
        </tr>
         <tr>
            <td><label for='familyname'>Family Name:</label></td>
            <td><input  type="text" name="fname" maxlength="50" size="30"></td>
        </tr>
         <tr>
            <td><label for='age'>Age:</label></td>
            <td><input  type="text" name="age" maxlength="50" size="30"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td><label for='experience'>Years of Experience:</label></td>

        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td><label for='university'>University Attened:</label></td>
            <td><input  type="text" name="university" maxlength="50" size="30"></td>
        </tr>
         <tr>

            <td><input  type="text" name="phone" maxlength="50" size="30"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td><label for='resume'>Resume:</label></td>
            <td><input type="file" name="resume"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td colSpan=2 align=center><input class=subbtn type="submit" value="Submit" name='submit' /></td>
        </tr>
 
    </table>
</form>

its my sendmail.php (without file attachment part)

<?php
$name=$_POST['name'];
$fname=$_POST['fname'];
$age=$_POST['age'];
$exp=$_POST['exp'];
$university=$_POST['university'];
$phone=$_POST['phone'];
 
$email_to='[e-mail]';
 
$emailsubject=ucfirst($name).' Resume';
$body.="Hi,\n";
$body.="Please find Mr.".$name." details below:\n\n";
$body.="Name: ".$name."\n";
$body.="Family Name: ".$fname." \n";
$body.="Age: ".$age." \n";
$body.="Experience: ".$exp." \n";
$body.="University: ".$university." \n";
$body.="Phone: ".$phone." \n";
 
mail("[e-mail]", $emailsubject,
  $body, "From:" . $name);
  header("location: thanks.php");

it works fine without attachment...

sendmail.php (file attachment part)

$fileatt =$_FILES['resume']['tmp_name']; // Path to the file
$fileatt_type = "application/octet-stream"; // File Type
$fileatt_name = $_FILES['resume']['name']; // Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment
 
 
$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);
 
 
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
 
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
 
$body.= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type:text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
$body. "\n\n";
 
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
 
$body.= "--{$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";

There's a nice library called phpmailer:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmailer/

It will make your life easier.

There's even an example at their website:

BEWARE!
If you use third party software as suggested by Luuk, you do so at your own risk.

[Luuk]

yes, of course you do that at your own risk.....

But using PHP would that also not be, to him, 'using 3rd party software' ?

;-)

[zmbd]

Luuk, Semantics; and by your reasoning so would the MS Windows operating system, UNIX (or its flavors), any browser, and so forth... besides you know what I mean by third party.

However, if not let me elucidate:

• OP = 1st party
• Members at this site providing open source guidance = 2nd party. The fact that the code is being reviewed by other members, experts, moderators, and admins provide some reassurance that OP should be provided generally safe code.
• Links provided to pre-compiled code = 3rd party.
• Worse, the link you provided now asks the referred party to goto yet another link. So from sourceforge now to github.

Technically, your post with the link is off topic as it does not directly answer OP's question; however, because it appeared to be shareware/freeware and fairly well used vs. commercial I didn't delete it... now, in retrospect perhaps I should have?

@zmbd: thanks

@impin:
line 14:

$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n"

i dont think the initial "\n" should be there?
