attach a file in the php email

[andersstudio]

hey developers,

I have a ton of upcoming projects that require attaching files (.docs, .pdf, and .jpg) to emails once they submit a form.

Any ideas on how to set this up?

Should it go into the
<?php
$mailbody.="";
?>

or does it go in the send mail function -
<?php
mail("$email", "$emailsubject", "$mailbody", "From: $from_who");
?>

Thanks a bunch in advance!

you have to construct a mime encoded message. i have a class i wrote for doing this, but its not quite finished (been wanting to get around to it for months). its really not that difficult a task. there is a good tutorial on about.com which explains mime messages.
here is the printable version, which is all on one page and not covered with ads.

maybe if i do finish this class up in the next few days, ill post a link to it here.
