PHP - Email Attachment To User After Submit

I'm pretty new to PHP, and by new, I mean I have never done it or any other form of coding before starting my job a month or so ago. I've basically been manually trying to pick up PHP as I go. The website that I am working on had its core built, but I am trying to add functionality to it.

The website already had the contact for that you can see he http://www.janova.us/index.php/contact
The form would submit an email to an email address based on which subject was picked.


I have since added a simple file upload field. My problem, however, is tying in the form to the email. I need to upload it and then send it as an attachment with the email.

Here is what I am working with currently:
<div id="breadCrumbs">
  <a href="index.php">MAIN</a>
    &gt;
  <a href="index.php/contact">CONTACT</a>

$user_id = $user -> get('id');
$user_name = $user -> get('name');

$db = JFactory::getDBO();
$query = "SELECT jos_content.introtext, jos_content.fulltext FROM jos_content WHERE catid = 68 AND sectionid = 5 LIMIT 0,3";
$db->setQuery($query);
$rows = $db->loadRowList();

$db->setQuery($query);
$user_data = $db->loadRow();
}

Hi,

I've created a basic form which uploads a document to my server. How do I generate an email with the uploaded document as an attachment?

Here's the HTML:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="form1.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>


Here's the PHP:

 <?php
$target_path = "uploads/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']).
    " has been uploaded";
} else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
 ?>

Thanks in advance!

I have spent nearly all day scouring Google for help on this and after trying numerous scripts unsuccessfully and reading up on imap functions but still getting nowhere as well as frying my brain l have had to accept defeat unless anyone of the many gifted coders here can help me out with a script they might have written and used.

many thanks Callum

Does anyone know of a way to use PHP to create and email a HTML file?  I was attempting to use the standard PHP mail function to pass a HTML string to the message variable, but mail clients have a pretty hard time rendering HTML/CSS correctly.  My thought was, if I could take my HTML string and turn it into a file and attach it to a email message the user would be able to open the file in there default browser which would render without issues.  Just for the record my HTML string also contains PHP variables, so it must be processes before being sent.

So far my research suggests using the PEAR library for sending mail with attachments, but I am only finding literature on how to attach a file already existing on the server to an email message.  I am having trouble finding a way to create a HTML file on the fly and attach it to an email message.  Has anyone had a similar problem?  Is there a different way to accomplish what I am attempting to do here?     

I am building a website that allows a client to email me documents (DocX, PDF, TXT,ZIP, etc) along with a simple HTML based form.

I used DreamWeaver to create the form and the upload area.  I figured out how to script the PHP code to send the text fields to my email address (and validate them), but I can't figure out how to get the attachments to send.

I am BRAND NEW to PHP and just trying to figure all thing out.  Any help would be appreciated. 

I have attached two .txt files to this post.  One is the HTML code for the forum and one is the actual PHP code I am using to send the form to my email.

Thanks for your help!

Interested to find out why this code doesn't seem to properly send the attachment.. it's driving my insane ?

$random_hash = md5(date('r', time()));
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n
$headers = "From: webmaster@example.com\r\nReply-To: webmaster@example.com";

I'm trying to after submission   1. create a csv 2. insert record into db 3. send email that's created in form submission - $msg. 4. send email with attachment to only the email I specify (if possible) if not attach it to the email that's created at submission.    I've search and search and found different methods but doesn't work with my code. I kept 3 lines at the top but can't get them to work ... either I don't get an email after submission or don't get an attachement.    Can some one help?

<?php 

$random_hash = md5(date('r', time()));

$csvString = "..."; // your entire csv as a string
$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode($csvString));

$to = "email@email.com";


if(isset($_POST['submit']))

Hello Guys,

I want to extract the attachment from  an email. I searched and I found the following link below and many similar ones useful.

http://garrettstjohn.com/entry/extracting-attachments-from-emails-with-php/

I am able to get the name of the attachments too.. but..

what after getting the file names? .. How do i actually access the file and move it to a location to my server?.. that part is unclear to me..

Please share me your views on this.. or point me in some direction as to how to accomplish this task.

Thank you,
Rakesh.

I am attempting to get my email form with file attachment to work. Apparently the file is not reaching getting to the validation portion of the page I have switched $_FILES['X'] on line 203 from file to fakefile as they are labeled in the form also I am employing css hacks to change the input file upload field to have a custom button example -> http://visualrealityink.com/dev/clients/arzan/snell_form_final/form.php

here is my code I appreciate any help

I would like to store PDF file into mysql (this part works) and then send it as email attachment and it should be retrieved from mysql table.

Here's the code I have for now, but what it gives me is 0bytes large PDF file
Saving PDF to mysql (it works), because size of blob in mysql table is OK.
$fp      = fopen('generated.pdf', 'r');
$content = fread($fp,filesize('generated.pdf'));
$content = addslashes($content);
fclose($fp);
$DB->Query('insert into pdf_files (pdf_file, name) values ("'.$content.'", "'.$name.'")');

And here's the mailing part

<?php
$query = "SELECT name, pdf_file FROM pdf_files 
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ( $result))
{

$fileContent =$row['pdf_file'];
$fileName=$row['name'];

} 

$fileatt = $fileContent; // getting file
$fileatt_type ="application/pdf"; //type of file
$fileatt_name = "attachment.pdf"; // name
$fileatt_size = $fileSize;

$email_from = "dont@have.it"; // mail from
$email_subject = "Testtt"; // subject
$email_message = "Testtt.<br>";
$email_message .= "Testtt.<br>"; // Message
$email_to = $mail_user; // users mail

$headers = "From: ".$email_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}\"";

Hi guys,
I'm trying to write a script that generates a multipart plaintext/HTML email with a pdf attachment. After much research and trial & error, I seem to have reached a wall.
 
At the moment, I am testing in gmail, hotmail and Outlook 2003. Gmail displays the HTML alternative of the message and attaches the pdf document, while hotmail & Outlook only attach the pdf without displaying either of the message alternatives.
 
Here is the code:
 // Error display
  ini_set ('display_errors', 1);
  error_reporting (E_ALL | E_STRICT);
 
 // Setting a timestamp
  date_default_timezone_set('Australia/Perth');
  $timestamp = date("d/m/y H:i:s", time());
  
  // Create a boundary string. It must be unique, so we use the MD5 algorithm to generate a random hash 
  $random_hash = md5(time()); 
  
  // Read the attachment file contents into a string, encode it with MIME base64 & split it into smaller chunks
  $attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents("success.pdf")));
  
  // Create the Plain text message to be sent in the email body
  $content_text = "Hello, World!! \nIs this a Plain Text alternative?";
  
  // Create the HTML message to be sent in the email body
  $content_html = "<html><body><h1>Hello, World!!</h1><p>This is <b>HTML</b> formatting.</p></body></html>";
  
  // Sending the email
  $to = "$email";
  $subject = "Test5-3.php :: $timestamp"; 
  
  $headers = "From: The Company <webmaster@example.com>\n";
  $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
  $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$random_hash\"\n";
  $headers .= "--$random_hash\n";
  $headers .= "Content-Type: application/pdf\n";
  $headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
  $headers .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"success.pdf\"\n\n";
  $headers .= "$attachment\n";
  
  $message = "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"$random_hash\"\n";
  $message .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n"; 
  $message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n"; 
  $message .= "$content_text\n";
  $message .= "--$random_hash\n";
  $message .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n"; 
  $message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n"; 
  $message .= "$content_html\n";
  $message .= "--$random_hash--";
  
  // Send the data in an email
  $mail_sent = @mail ($to, $subject, $message, $headers, "[email]-froot@clarebyrnedesign.com.au[/email]");

 
(That's not the full script, but it is the relevant part of it. The full script is attached.)
 
Other variations of this code I have tried out include:
     - surrounding all the variables with ". .", eg:   $headers .= "--".$random_hash."\n";
     - sending the entire function as headers, instead of splitting it into message and headers, eg:   $headers = "From: The Company <webmaster@example.com>\n";
  $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
  $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$random_hash\"\n";
  $headers .= "--$random_hash\n";
  $headers .= "Content-Type: application/pdf\n";
  $headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
  $headers .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"success.pdf\"\n\n";
  $headers .= "$attachment\n";
  $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"$random_hash\"\n";
  $headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n"; 
  $headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n"; 
  $headers .= "$content_text\n";
  $headers .= "--$random_hash\n";
  $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n"; 
  $headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n"; 
  $headers .= "$content_html\n";
  $headers .= "--$random_hash--";
 
Does anyone know why I would be having this problem? It seems that nothing I've tried will work!!
 
Thanks

Actually, what i want to do is to use the email to fetch the $email,$password and $randomnumber from database after

Hi,

I have setup a standard contact form that sends an email using php "mail" function in my new website.
Today, I received an email from a potential client through my website. However, unfortunately, I did not receive the user's email address because (as I discovered after wards), there was a syntax problem in the function, so all I received is their name and message.
I am certain that the user has entered their email address because the form has validation, it just didn't send me the address so I have no way to contact that client...
Is there a way to retrieve the lost email address from the server somehow?

Thanks in advance

hello all, i have a php form with multiple submits (one calculates price, one checks date and one submits the form and the data to mysql database)
when i hit calculate price, for example, the function works fine but all the fields are cleared and i would like for all the input to remain as the user sent.
here is part of the code (the form):
Code: [Select]
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post">
