mail jpg with php

[chamal]

Hi,

I wrote a php script to email a jpg file. This script does mail the jpg file but when i try to open the jpg file with an image viewer the image does not load. I think my image is corrupted or in a different format. Please tell me how to solve this problem.

Here is my coding

<?
$mail_boundary = md5(uniqid(time()));
$mail_headers ="From:[e-mail]\r\n";
$mail_headers .= "MIME-Version:1.0\r\n";
$mail_headers .="Content-type:multipart/mixed;boundary=\"$mail_boundary\"";
$mail_headers .="\r\n\r\n";
$mail_headers .="This is a multipart message in mime format";
$mail_headers .="\r\n\r\n";

    //Reading the file

    $userfile = "bruce.jpg";
    $fp = fopen($userfile,"r");
    $file = fread($fp,filesize($userfile));
    $file =chunk_split(base64_encode($file));

    //Creating the mail body

    $mail_body  = "--$mail_boundary\n";
    $mail_body  .="Content-type:text/plain;charset=us-ascii\r\n";
    $mail_body  .="Content-transfer-encoding:7bit\r\n\r\n";
    $mail_body  .="Email sent using Sinhalaya com\r\n";
    $mail_body  .="--$mail_boundary\r\n";

    $filename   = basename($userfile);

    $mail_body  .="Content-type:image\jpeg;name=$filename\r\n";
    $mail_body  .="Content_transfer-encoding:base64\r\n";
    $mail_body  .=$file."\r\n\r\n";
    $mail_body  .="--$mail_boundary--";

    mail("[e-mail]","Email from sinhalaya",$mail_body,$mail_headers);

?>

                                                         Thanks,
                                                          Chamal.

My guess would be:

<?
//Creating the mail body

$mail_body = "--$mail_boundary\n";
$mail_body .="Content-type:text/plain;charset=us-ascii\r\n";
?>

should be:

<?
//Creating the mail body

$mail_body = "$mail_boundary\n";
$mail_body .="Content-type:text/plain;charset=us-ascii\r\n";
?>

You might also try changing this line

$mail_boundary = md5(uniqid(time()));

to

$mail_boundary = '--'.md5(uniqid(time()));

I generally use one of the various mime-handling / mail generating classes floating out there. Check out http://www.phpclasses.org/ or http://phpbuilder.com/snippet/detail.php?type=snippet&id=35
