I am trying to send multiple attachements in a single PHP mail() function.
This is the code I am using : (but fread and fclose are not getting a value arguments and the attachments are not being sent). I hope someone can help me on this one.
<?php
//connecting to the database
@ $db = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "root", "dbstuff3r");
//connection error
if(!$db)
{
echo "error could not connect to the database. please try again later";
exit;
}
//selecting database
mysql_select_db("axis");
$sql = "select * from email";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($result);
for($i=0; $i <$numrows; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$email=$row[0];
$fileatt = ""; // Path to the file
$fileatt_type = "application/octet-stream"; // File Type
$fileatt_name = ""; // Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment
$email_message = $mssg; // Message that the email has in it
$email_to = $email; // Who the email is too
$email_from = "webmaster@alturacs.com"; // Who the email is from
$headers = "From: " .$email_from;
//$headers .= "Bcc: $email\r\n";
$email_subject = $sub; // The Subject of the email
$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}\"";
$email_message .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type:text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
$email_message . "\n\n";
/********************************************** First File ********************************************/
$fileatt = ""; // Path to the file
$fileatt_type = "application/octet-stream"; // File Type
$fileatt_name = ""; // Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment
$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));

Re: Sending multiple attachments
Did you leave out the path to the file? It sounds like your fopen is failing and passing in a blank path would probably do it.sulen wrote:Code: Select all
$fileatt = ""; // Path to the file $fileatt_type = "application/octet-stream"; // File Type $fileatt_name = ""; // Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment $file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
If you didn't leave it out and just cut it out for the code you pasted here, how are you populating the $fileatt variable?
I changed the code to this ........... but still it sends only one attachment
/******** First File *************/
$fileatt_type = "application/octet-stream"; // File Type
$file = fopen($_FILES["fileatt"]["tmp_name"],"rb");
$data =
fread($file,filesize($_FILES["fileatt"]["tmp_name"]));
fclose($file);
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
$email_message .= "--{$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";
unset($data,$file,$fileatt,$fileatt_type,$fileatt_name);

Before the change, you were getting an error. Are you still getting the error, or did the error go away and now you're getting just one attachment?sulen wrote:I changed the code to this ........... but still it sends only one attachment
Your code looks like it's using the same file for both attachments. Maybe you should be saying:
Code: Select all
// First file
$file = fopen($_FILES["fileatt"]["tmp_name"][0],"rb");
// ... code ...
// Second file
$file = fopen($_FILES["fileatt"]["tmp_name"][1],"rb");I have now created 2 separate file upload text areas in my form........thereby having two separate variables...............now the 2 attachments are getting sent...........but with the attachments I have a .DAT file also being sent which I dont know why.
If u see my original code,
the line - $headers .= "Bcc: $email\r\n"; is commented. The main reason I am building this is to send attachments to mutiple recipients in the bcc field. If I put the same list in the To: field it works fine but bcc: screws up the attachments. Thanks for any help in advance.
This is how my code looks now
/**************** First File ******************/
$fileatt_type = "application/octet-stream"; // File Type
$file = fopen($_FILES["fileatt"]["tmp_name"],"rb");
$data = fread($file,filesize($_FILES["fileatt"]["tmp_name"]));

$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
$email_message .= "--{$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";
unset($file,$data);
/**************Second File ***************/
$fileatt1_type = "application/octet-stream"; // File Type
$file = fopen($_FILES["fileatt1"]["tmp_name"],"rb");
$data = fread($file,filesize($_FILES["fileatt1"]["tmp_name"]));
fclose($file);
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
