emailing sav files, wont work?
Posted: Fri Jun 29, 2007 12:39 pm
Mailing sav files wont work but when I change the extension of the file to .txt it does work.
See Below Script:
(As part of bigger script that deals with all the headers etc...)
The above script sends a email to the email address, I can pick it up. Gmail shows the clip logo (attachment), but when I view the actual email no attached files are shown. However if I change this line: to this: the entire script works and I recieve the file but as a txt.
Does anyone have any idea how I can get sav files to be mailed. I have tried sending them using gmail (it works fine) and reading the mime but it is exactly the same as mine.
Please tell me whats wrong!
See Below Script:
Code: Select all
//Attachment version of message
$extension=explode (".", file.sav);
$countdot=count($extension)-1;
$extension=$extension[$countdot];
$headers .= "--{$boundary}\r\n" .
"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n" .
"Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="file.sav"\r\n";
$headers .= chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents('backup/file.sav)));
$headers .= "\r\n --{$boundary}--";
}
if (!mail("geoff@googlemail.com", "Test", "", $headers)) {
$erreur++; $erreurmsg.='There was a problem sending your email please try again.<br>';
