PHP Form submit issue

marcusb

I have a form that I put together using the soupermail perl script to email me the results and the attached cv.

but i have put built another version of the form using php and dreamweaver which writes the values to mysql database and saves the cv into the webspace.

new (writes to mysql)
<form action="<?php echo $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'];?>?submit=1"
method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1">

problem is I want to have both results (i.e file/form results sent to me by soupermail and form results / file saved into mysql and the webspace). can i hve more than one action on the form?

i tried using the include function for soupermail.pl but it didn't work. i don't want to rewrite the soupermail function into php if i can help it because i think its a little complex to convert the submitted file into email attachment (and i already have system to input the soupermail output into our contact management software). any tips?

you could always just submit the page to itself, and then use Curl to then send POST data to the perl script.

It's a bit much to get into in a post, but there's a link that should get you started.

Sending a mime encoded attachment really isn't rough. Have you sent emails with PHP before? (if not, check out [man]mail[/man])

				$emailto = '[email address goes here]';
				$subject = 'Subject';

			$header = "From: $from <$fromemail>\n";
			$header .= "Reply-To: $from <$fromemail>\n";
			$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
			$header .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"MIME_BOUNDRY\"\n";
			$header .= "X-Sender: $from <$fromemail>\n";
			$header .= "X-Mailer: PHP4\n";
			$header .= "X-Priority: 3\n";
			$header .= "Return-Path: <$fromemail>\n";
			$header .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n";

			$message = ReadTemplate('email');
			$data['message'] = 'A file has been attached.' . "\n\n--\nThis is an automated email message.";
			$data['contenttype'] = 'application/octetstream';
			$data['filename'] = $files[$key]['name'];
			$data['attachment'] = BuildAttachment($destFile);
			$message = ParseTemp($message, $data, "null");

			mail($emailto, $subject, $message, $header);

And BuildAttachment() looks like:

function BuildAttachment($file)
{
	set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);

$fd = fopen($file, "rb");
$FileContent = fread($fd, filesize($file));
fclose($fd);

$FileContent = chunk_split(base64_encode($FileContent));
$attachment = $FileContent;
$attachment .="\n\n";

set_magic_quotes_runtime(get_magic_quotes_gpc());

return $attachment;
}  // end function BuildAttachment($filename)

The email template I use:

--MIME_BOUNDRY
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

<!--$message$-->

--MIME_BOUNDRY
Content-Type: <!--$contenttype$-->; name="<!--$filename$-->"
Content-disposition: attachment
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

<!--$attachment$-->

--MIME_BOUNDRY--

You will find some variables in there you'll need to swap out (like $file, $fromemail, etc). You'll see an array called $data and its setup to work with my template functions. The data it contains get swapped in for the tokens found in the email template. You can pull that stuff out and manually build your email and that will work fine too (you can see in the template where the data in $data would go).
