When asking questions in the forum, you need to be as specific as possible. That is a very vague question. What EXACTLY are you trying to do? Do you mean you want to have a link to a document on a web page? What type of document? PDF? Word? We can not help you unless you ask good questions.

To clarify

When browsing the internet, one sometimes comes across the option to attach a file held on one's own PC. (photo, Word document etc.) I'm looking for a script that I can use in a web page that will allow visitors to locate files on their PC, attach them, and send them to me via that web page.

The term you are looking for is upload, not attach. Attachments are for emails. Try Google for upload scripts.

To clarify further, the 'upload' then needs to be submitted to an e-mail address.

that is two different 'processes'.

search this forum for 'uploading files' and then download and use swift mailer to address the email portion of your issue.

This may be overkill, but this library makes file uploading and form handling/validation very trivial...
