Form e-mail attachments?

SOT-wolf

ok, i haven't been doing php for very long, but i know how to get php form e-mails working perfectly well, until it comes to the allowing a user to attach a file and send it to a designated e-mail address.

I have a simple page which inlcudes a "browse" button used to locate a file on the computers hd, and two fields for sender and comments.

Now, i can get the form working, but i need to know exactly how to get the script to attach the file to the db and to send it to say my e-mail address without it coming up as the file name.

What exactly do i have to add to the code in order for the php to acknowledge and send it?

This is what the simple php file looks like.

<?
echo "Thankyou for your submission. It shall be uploaded to the site soon.";

?>
<br>
<?
if ($_POST) {
  mail("sot_wolf@yahoo.com", "shots", "file: " . $fileup . "\r\nsubmitted by: " . $submittedby . "\r\ncomments: " . $comment);
}
?>

This is what the html form looks like

<form method="post" action="submit2.php?a=add" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="5000000">
  <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" class="maintext">
<tr><td valign="top">Screenshot:</td><td><input name="fileup" type="file" value="">&nbsp;</td></tr>
    <tr>
      <td valign="top">Submitted by:</td>
      <td>
        <input type="text" name="submittedby" value="">
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td valign="top">Comments:</td>
      <td>
        <textarea name="comment" rows="4" cols="40" class="textbox"></textarea>
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="2">
        <div align="center">
          <input type="submit" value="Upload">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
          <input type="button" border="0" onClick="history.back()" value="Cancel"></div>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</form>

Note that this is not a flame or "RTFM" comment. If you go almost to the bottom, you'll see a user comment post from a "kiernan.huggins @ rogers.com" that may shed some light on the subject. I hope it helps....personally, I'm still just sending plaintext.

Usually if its that important why not try again. People can help only so far, the rest is up to you.

My parents went to www.phpguru.org and all I got was this MIME email class.

How did I find out about it? Well, in the distribution of PHP I got, there's a directory called Pear. In that there's a directory called Mail. In that there's half a dozen scripts with names like "mail.php", "mime.php", and "mimePart.php". Apparently they're based on stuff written by a Richard Heyes (of Phpguru.org). The descriptive comment at the top of the file looks like:

/*
* Mime mail composer class. Can handle: text and html bodies, embedded html
* images and attachments.
* Documentation and example of this class is avaible here:
* [url]http://vulcanonet.com/soft/mime/[/url]
*

I only pray I'm not too late
