Emailing Uploaded Files

[rpupkin77]

I am trying to build a mail() function that emails files that the user has uploaded, I have no need for a database in this case and I am familiar with the mail function, I have just never done this particular thing before, would I put the value into a $header variable or can this even be done at all?

It would be easier to use a databse. Write the image location to the database and the call it in an image tag in the body of the email. Will be so much faster than sending the actual picture.

The host that the client is using for this site doesn't offer mySQL with the package.

Well just copy the images name and use it like above

$dir="../path_to_file/";
//$image is the form name of the file field in your form
//$image_name is the temp name of the image on the server
//same name as the image also
copy($image,$dir.$image_name);
$photoFile = $image_name;

<img src=http://www.yourdomain.com/$dir/$photoFile>
