I made a html form, and redirect the information to my mail.php file to process the information and send it to my email. I want to know what do i have to do to attach files like pictures. I tried to search on google, and the codes are so complicated (i'm an amateur at this). Would it be possilbe if you could show me the code and explain to me what it does and how i could customize it to fit my needs?
thankyou
CODE
// In PHP earlier then 4.1.0, $HTTP_POST_FILES should be used instead of// $_FILES. In PHP earlier then 4.0.3, use copy() and is_uploaded_file()
// instead of move_uploaded_file
$uploaddir = '/public_html/site/html/uploads/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir. $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
print "<pre>";
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
print "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded. ";
print "Here's some more debugging info:\n";
print_r($_FILES);
} else {
print "Possible file upload attack! Here's some debugging info:\n";
print_r($_FILES);
}
print "</pre>";
i found that code and when i tried to exacute the php file, it said
Possible file upload attack! Here's some debugging info:
Array
(
[attachment] => Array
(
[name] => logo.jpg
[type] => image/jpeg
[tmp_name] => /tmp/phpmlM3po
[error] => 0
=> 20655
)
)
i tried to give my folders full permission and it still doesn't work.
and how can I attach the uploaded file(s) to an email
CODE
File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.
Here is some more debugging info:Array
(
[attachment] => Array
(
[name] => logo.jpg
[type] => image/jpeg
[tmp_name] => /tmp/phpvzOMho
[error] => 0
[size] => 20655
)
). [/CODE
So i'm guessing it works. NOw.. my question is.. how am i suppose to embed that into my mail.
[CODE]
<?
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$attachment=
$to="example@gmail.com";
$message="Terms and Conditions: $agree
\nName: $name Middle:$middle
\nAge: $AGE
\nDate of Birth: $month $date, $year
\nWeight: $weight Pounds
\nHeight: $height Inches
\nAddress: $address $city, $state $code
\nTelephone: $phone
\nEmail: $email
\nSchool: $school
\nMajor: $major
\nAbout $name
\n $reason";
if(mail($to,"Application from $name",$message,"From: $email\n")) {
echo "Thankyou for registeringt";
} else {
echo "There was a problem sending the mail. Please check that you filled in the form
correctly. Please Click Back";
}
i dont' really know what i'm doing exactly. So please help me out. It seems like no one is bothering to help. =(
I have a working php sendmail script, which I adapted from different stuff I found here and there, I didnt write the whole thing but I made the final mix...
I know (guess you already know this too) how to send mail, the most basic line to achieve so is this:
mail($admin_mail, $subject, $content, $headers)
Where admin mail is the mail you want the message to be sent, and the headers are additional information which is optional. Subject and Content I think that are obvious. But the command to attach a file is what is missing, and I dont know either how to do it...
Hope someone could help us both.. thanks in advance Ill keep browsing the web for it but would apreciate a lot yer help...
And kvkv thanx for that link, ill give it a try, i havent tested it yet but the main page displays this as a feature:
Multiple fs, string, and binary attachments (those from database, string, etc)
Im not sure if it is what i need, do you know something about it? I dont want to upload files to a database but to send them right through the form... thanks a lot!
CODE
//Gather file data and other things$tmp = $_FILES['sample']['tmp_name'];
$sep = md5(time());
$filename = $_FILES['sample']['name'];
$filedata = file_get_contents($tmp); //Get file contents
$fdata = chunk_split(base64_encode($filedata)); //Encode data into text form
$to = "you@domain.com"; //Email address to send this to
//Determine mime type
$ext = explode('.', $filename);
$ext = $ext[1];
if($ext == "JPG" || $ext == "jpg" || $ext == "JPEG" || $ext == "jpeg") {
$mime_type = "image/jpeg";
}
elseif($ext == "gif" || $ext == "GIF") {
$mime_type = "image/gif";
}
else {
exit("Error: Wrong file type!");
}
//Begin the message. Be sure to change this how you want it.
$message = "Email message here";
//Begin the headers
$headers = "From: \"From Name\" <{$email}>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: Multipart/Mixed;
boundary=\"$sep\"
charset=\"iso-8859-1\"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
--$sep
Content-Type: $mime_type;
name=\"$filename\"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=\"$filename\"
$fdata
--$sep";
$subject = "Email Subject Here";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
One last limitation: Files with more than one . in them may not be processed completely right (I've not tested it that much). I don't know exactly how to get the extension. I don't know just how many files you'll get with more than one in it, though.
I will now explain it to you. The file sending is actually done using the mail headers. However, the message has to be converted to base64 encoding (which will send it as text). This is done by first getting the contents of the file using file_get_contents() then chunk_split() and base64_encode(). The chunk_split() converts the text to match RFC 2045 semantics (that way the email client will be able to read the base64 encoded file).
Oh, and remember where it says $_FILES['sample'] change 'sample' to the name of the file upload field (just reminding you). Also, the $email in the headers should be changed to whatever you want the From part to be.
I have tested this code many times, and it works the way it should. However, you still need to include your form, and add whatever data you're going to send in the message. If you want to send other types of files, you just add more after the elseif. Such as:
CODE
if($ext == "JPG" || $ext == "jpg" || $ext == "JPEG" || $ext == "jpeg") {$mime_type = "image/jpeg";
}
elseif($ext == "gif" || $ext == "GIF") {
$mime_type = "image/gif";
}
elseif($ext == "bmp" || $ext == "BMP") {
$mime_type = "image/bmp"; //I think that's the mime type for BMP files
}
elseif($ext == "txt" || $ext == "TXT") {
$mime_type = "text/plain";
}
else {
exit("Error: Wrong file type!");
}
One last note: I know the mime_content_type() function gives me the mime type, but I had some problems with it. Anyway, this method also ensures that you get only the file types that you want. Also, I used the file extension in both lowercase and caps to ensure that it would be sent. I know that sometimes the file extensions get capitalized automatically for some reason in Windows. I hope this helped you. If I need to explain anything more, please let me know.

Just so you guys know if you send the file through a form submit, the $_FILES contains the MIME type information, just send that variable to the header for a quick solution... Encoding is different though... There might be a good encoding format that will work for just about anything your sending... Not sure though

I tried very much for the specific code but in vain. Please provide me the exact code to do so.
Thank you,

Hello,
I'm attempting to cobble together a Formail that sends contact form information (from the form on the site) and an image attachment directly to the email address I've designated, rather than upload the image to my server for me to find and download. I've tried the script above and it works perfectly for the image attachment part, except that it makes sending an image mandatory because there is no "null," if you will, file extension provided for. So when I try to send the form without attaching an image, it errors out. Do you happen to know the code I could add so that it will allow for no file attachment and still process?
Thank you.
