Attachment with mail()

johnie

Hi. Is there a way to send a simple email with an image as attachment.
I've found the articles in PHPBuilder and Zend.com about MIME but i found them too complicated 🙂 that i didn't have the patience to read them.

Is there a simple way to modify the
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
so that includes an attachment?

Thanks

John

It takes a while to read it but it explains everything pretty well:

I would check out the PHPMailer project http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net. I have used it a couple of times and it seems to work well. My only beef is some of the method names (ASP style) but hey, I can use wierd names as long as it works well.

Thanks guys. I'm already aware of your suggestions but i was looking for a small simple function to add an attachment to an email. I don't know if it's so simple at all.
I just don't have the time to figure out what i should do to send a MIME mail. In any case i'll give a try to PHPMailer

Thanks
