send form data by mail with attachment

Post by sahil »

hi there,

I am trying to send form data by email, with an attachment.

strangely it works perfectly everywhere but my particular ISP.

Is there anything my ISP should do to tweak config.

I am pasting the code below
_______________________________________________
<html>
<head>
<title> Sending Email </title>
</head>
<body>

<?php
phpinfo();
// Read POST request params into global vars
/*
$to = 'sahil@maintec.com';
$from = $_POST['from'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
*/

$to = "sales@jewels-india.com".",";
$from = $_POST['email'];
$subject = "Submit Design...";
$name = $_POST['name'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$message = "-------------------------------------------------------------------
Design Submitted By:
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Name : $name
Telephone : $phone
city : $city
Email : $email

// Obtain file upload vars
$fileatt = $_FILES['fileatt']['tmp_name'];
$fileatt_type = $_FILES['fileatt']['type'];
$fileatt_name = $_FILES['fileatt']['name'];
$headers = "From: $from";

if (is_uploaded_file($fileatt)) {
// Read the file to be attached ('rb' = read binary)
$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);

// Generate a boundary string
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";

// Add the headers for a file attachment
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

// Add a multipart boundary above the plain message
$message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
$message . "\n\n";

// Base64 encode the file data
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));


// Add file attachment to the message
$message .= "--{$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";


}

// Send the message
$ok = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($ok) {
echo "<p>Thankyou we will get back to you</p>";
//echo $_POST['name'];
echo $_REQUEST['name'];
} else {
echo "<p>Sorry! The could not be sent, try agian later</p>";
}

?>
</body>
</html>

In the form I am using enctype="multipart/form-data



thanks
