PHP multiple attachments

Post by ayaz »

I am new in PHP programming. I have a html / Javascript form that needs to submit multiple (6) Picture attachments.

When I submit the form, the form is submitted but no attachments arrive on the email. I am using arrays to accept the
attachments. The PHP code below is only trying to comprehend 2 attachments to start with but even this does not arrive on
the email. I do receive all the fields from the HTML / Javascript form on the email. Only the attachments do not arrive.

Can anyone assist with this PHP coding? I would highly appreciate anyones help and ideas.

Use

Code: Select all

tags so we can read your code.

Anyway, PHP mailing can be a dirty business. I suggest that you try [url=http://swiftmailer.org/]SwiftMailer[/url].
