I was able to make the form work to send emails with my form content and attachment.
but the form does not work (meaning i dont receive an email if there is no attachment)
how can i make the form dont have this type of requirement. here is the code i am using
<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=="POST"){
// we'll begin by assigning the To address and message subject
$to="myemail@gmail.com";
$subject="Client Submission";
// get the sender's name and email address
// we'll just plug them a variable to be used later
$from = $_REQUEST['fromname'];
$email=$_REQUEST["fromemail"];
$occasion = $_REQUEST['occasion'];
$age = $_REQUEST['age'];
$flavor = $_REQUEST['flavor'];
$filling = $_REQUEST['filling'];
$people = $_REQUEST['people'];
$day = $_REQUEST['day'];
$month = $_REQUEST['month'];
$delivery = $_REQUEST['delivery'];
$text = $_REQUEST['text'];
$phone=$_REQUEST['phone'];
// generate a random string to be used as the boundary marker
$mime_boundary="==Multipart_Boundary_x".md5(mt_rand())."x";
// store the file information to variables for easier access
$tmp_name = $_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'];
$type = $_FILES['filename']['type'];
$name = $_FILES['filename']['name'];
$size = $_FILES['filename']['size'];
// here we'll hard code a text message
// again, in reality, you'll normally get this from the form submission
$message = $message = "
Email = $fromemail
Name = $fromname
Phone = $phone
Occasion = $occasion
Age = $age
Flavor = $flavor
Filling = $filling
People = $people
Month = $month
Day = $day
Delivery = $delivery
Text = $text";
// if the upload succeded, the file will exist
if (file_exists($tmp_name)){
// check to make sure that it is an uploaded file and not a system file
if(is_uploaded_file($tmp_name)){
// open the file for a binary read
$file = fopen($tmp_name,'rb');
// read the file content into a variable
$data = fread($file,filesize($tmp_name));
// close the file
fclose($file);
// now we encode it and split it into acceptable length lines
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
}
// now we'll build the message headers
$headers = "From: $from\r\n" .
"MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\r\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
// next, we'll build 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 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 and set another boundary to
// indicate that the end of the file has been reached
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: {$type};\n" .
" name=\"{$name}\"\n" .
//"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .
//" filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
$data . "\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}--\n";
// now we just send the message
if (@mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
echo "Message Sent";
else
echo "Failed to send";
}
} else {
?>

Re: email form not sending emails without attachments
Please use the code tags when you post code, it makes it easier to read. Don't attach the content headers for encode-64 if there's no attachment to send.
Code: Select all
// 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 and set another boundary to
// indicate that the end of the file has been reached
if (isset($data))
{
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: {$type};\n" .
" name=\"{$name}\"\n" .
//"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .
//" filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
$data . "\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}--\n";

Re: email form not sending emails without attachments
I think you need the closing boundary delimiter though:
Code: Select all
if (isset($data))
{
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: {$type};\n" .
"name=\"{$name}\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
$data . "\n\n";
}
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}--\n";mysql_function(): WARNING: This extension is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and will be removed in the future. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQLextension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information.
Re: email form not sending emails without attachments
try both solutions, and no luck. any other idea, my code look like this now
Code: Select all
if (isset($data))
{
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: {$type};\n" .
" name=\"{$name}\"\n" .
//"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .
//" filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
$data . "\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}--\n";
}Re: email form not sending emails without attachments
Try this:

or die("neither text nor html part present.");
$Text=$Text?$Text:"Sorry, but you need an html mailer to read this mail.";

$To or die("recipient address missing");
