Mym mail() PHP coding won't attach file properly. Help!

[3dron]

Why doesn't the following attach the file properly?

$mime_boundary = "<<<--==+X[".md5(time())."]";

$headers .= "From: ".$to." <".$to.">\n";

$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";

$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n";

$headers .= " boundary=\"".$mime_boundary."\"";

$message .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n";

$message .= "\n";

$message .= "--".$mime_boundary."\n";

$message .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";

$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n";

$message .= "\n";

$message .= "Test message";

$message .= "--".$mime_boundary."\n";

$message .= "Content-Type: image/jpeg;\n";

$message .= " name=\"test.jpg\"\n";

$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n";

$message .= "Content-Disposition: attachment;\n";

$message .= " filename=\"test.jpg\"\n";

$message .= "\n";

$message .= $attachment;

$message .= "\n";

$message .= "--".$mime_boundary."\n";

mail("$from", "$subject", $message, $headers);

Have you tried using \r\n instead of \n (as per RFC822)?

Also, have you looked at the resulting email and compared it to what it should look like? I of course mean the email source code, not what your email client renders.

Or do you just mean that the $attachment variable is empty when you run this code?

i dont remember completely but i think u need to base64encode the content of the attachment

[wchris]

could you show us the content of $attachement ...

@
you are right, it has to be converted to base64
