I would think that this is fairly simple; however I cannot find a solution.
I already have a form that sends the contents to my email and adds to a database.
Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to add an attachment feature?
Form mailer with attachments.

Re: Form mailer with attachments.
I'm not sure you want to go that direction. Producing compliant MIME emails is what might be considered non-trivial -- and certainly non-fun. Those excellent packages mentioned are the result of many, many bug reports and tedious coding.cupaball wrote:Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to add an attachment feature?

Indeed... it's like HTML and web browsers; If all email clients and servers followed standards it would be straightforward. Initially there were quite a few (relatively minor) bugs to iron out but everything has hit a stable point now...arborint wrote:Those excellent packages mentioned are the result of many, many bug reports and tedious coding.
That said, I'll kid nobody, MIME as a basic concept is extremely simple once you've looked at a few examples.
