PHP - How To Add Attachments With Mail() ?

Hi, is there a way to generate attachemtns for php's mail() function on the fly, without first saving a file.  I have an html page stored in a variable and would like to send it as both the body of the mail and as an attachment in it (well actualy I would like to just send it in the body....).  Can I push the variable as an attachement or do I need to generate a temp file from it first?

Cheers

Hi all
Im sending a dynamic created pdf file with php. It gets flagged as spam are things that can be done to help prevent this ?
didnt really know where to post it.

I found the below code so I can attach a file to a email message, but there is a small problem I need some help with.  The script works beautifully except for the fact that when message is received the attached file does not contain a file extension.  I am able to open the attachment but I am receiving the windows dialog box that asks:  "Choose the program you want to open this file".  I intend on only using this script to attach HTML files so I am wondering if there is a way to make the file extension of the attachment read as .html?  That way when the user receives the attachment it will automatically open with there default browser. 


Code: [Select]
<?php  
$to = "test@test.com"; 
$from = "test@test.com"; 
$subject = "AHC"; 
$message = "hello world";
$fileatt = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/home-care-information/test.html";

$fileatt_type = "multipart/alternative"; //This is where the problem is I think

$fileatt_name = "Application";

$headers = "From: $from";

$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb'); 
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt)); 
fclose($file);

$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}\"";

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

$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));

$message .= "--{$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"; 


$ok = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); 

if ($ok) { echo "<p>Mail sent! Yay PHP!</p>"; } 
else { echo "<p>Mail could not be sent. Sorry!</p>"; } 

?>

Hi All,

I have a form which POSTs data through to PHP, it then places this on a HTML mail and then emails the company. I then have two attachment fields on the form, one for their CV and the other for some sort of ID.

The attachments appear on the HTML email but when you try and open them or download and open them they come up with an error as though they are corrupt. However the odd thing is if I open it on my iPhone the attachments work perfect. Its not just my PC at fault as it doesnt work on many computers/OS's.

The actual PHP attachment code is below:

Code: [Select]
<?php

$unid = md5(time());

for($i=0;$i<count($_FILES["fileAttach"]["name"]); $i++) {  

if($_FILES["fileAttach"]["name"][$i] != "") { 

$filename = $_FILES["fileAttach"]["name"][$i];  
$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($_FILES["fileAttach"]["tmp_name"][$i])));  
$mailheader .= "--" . $unid . "\n";  
$mailheader .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; name=" . $filename . "\n";  
$mailheader .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64"."\n";  
$mailheader .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=" . $filename . "\n";  
$mailheader .= $attachment;

} }
?>

What am I doing wrong. More code can be provided if needed.

Cheers in advance!
