sending mail function attachments with php mail() function
Posted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 12:46 pm
Hello Everyone
I have written a simple mail function to be emailed to a certain person on submission. On submission they would also like to have attachments sent to them.
I got the email being sent but I can;t get the attachments to work. I have read several different examples and tutorials and none of them work.
This is the code that I have so far
