[Resolved] Mime Mail with Attachments

murali

Hi,
I am trying to send mail with attachments... here is the code which I use

$attachment_name=$_FILES['attachments']['name'];
$fileatt_type = "application/octet-stream";
$to  = "raj@raj.com";
$subject = "Online Request";

$headers = "From: ".$name;
$file = fopen($_FILES['attachments']['tmp_name'],'rb');
$data =fread($file,filesize($_FILES['attachments']["tmp_name"]));
fclose($file);
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));

$mime_boundary = "Raaz12345_123";


$headers .= "\r\nMIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"
."Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\r\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
  //message part
 $test_message='testing by Raj';

$email_message = "--{$mime_boundary}\r\n" .
"Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\r\n" .
" name=\"{$attachment_name}\"\r\n" .
"Content-Disposition: attachment;\r\n" .
" filename=\"$attachment_name\"\r\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n\r\n" .
$data . "\r\n\r\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}--\r\n";


$email_message .= "Online Request \r\n\r\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}\r\n" .
"Content-Type:text/html; charset=iso-8859-1;\r\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n" .
$test_message . "\r\n\r\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}--\r\n";if(mail($to, $subject,$email_message, $headers))
{
	echo "Mail Sent";
}
else
{
	echo "Error!";
}

I am able to get attachments through mail. but I can get either the attachment.. or only the text.. Further more when I try to attach jpg file its fine.. but when I attach .gif files the file comes as attachment with the actual size but I am not able to open the files..

whats wrong here????

hi guys,
got it solved at... The only difference from the original code was that instead of one boundary I made it as two boundaries.. inner and outer.. I started with the outer boundary and placed the html message in the inner boundary.. the images part was placed after that and it worked fine........

$mailString.="\r\n--".$OB."\r\n";
        $mailString.="Content-Type: multipart/alternative;\r\n\tboundary=\"".$IB."\"\r\n\r\n";
		$mailString.="\r\n--".$IB."\r\n";
        $mailString.="Content-Type: text/html;\r\n\tcharset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n";
        $mailString.="Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n";
$mailString.= '<html><head></head><body><table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" bordercolor="#f0f0f0">';
		$mailString.= '<tr><td>Name </td>'; // other html codes
$mailString.= '</table><body></html>';
		$mailString.="\r\n--".$IB."--\r\n";
			$mailString.= "\r\n--".$OB."\r\n";
			$mailString.="Content-Type: application/octetstream;\r\n\tname=\"".$file_name."\"\r\n";
			$mailString.="Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";
			$mailString.="Content-Disposition: attachment;\r\n\tfilename=\"".$file_name."\"\r\n\r\n";
			$fd=fopen ($fname, "r");
// code for reading file comes here

$mailString.="\r\n--".$OB."--\r\n";
	mail($to, $subject,$mailString, $headers);

the problem of gif image not showing up fully was in apache under windows. in linux box its fine..

thought if this may be of help to someone..

cheers
