Quick understanding

[Almore]

Im getting ready to write an email form, i've been studying up on how to do this i only have one question.

When i use the form to select a file (jpg etc...) from the users computer, how do i then get that exact file to send in an email, not just the echoed path of the file.

This is my only hangup at the moment.

First use the is_uploaded_file function to check if the file has been successfully uploaded by HTTP POST.

Then use the copy function to save the uploaded file on the server.
copy($_FILE["userfile"]["tmp_name"], "new_filename");

You can now read the file from the server's hard drive to attach it to the email and you are done.

Don't forget that for the file to be successfully uploaded the form enctype must be set to "multipart/form-data"

Hope it helps.
