Send file on entering email

[ilovecheesecake]

Hello,
My knowledge of php is very little to none. I can copy the code and changes to the criteria to make it work. With that said, I have managed to make a form with name, address, phone, email as required fields. I have it so that the info enter will be sent to my email. Now I would like to send a file to the visitor when they input their email. This is my .php that send the info to my email. Help please! Thanks.

<?
$name = $REQUEST['name'] ;
$address = $REQUEST['address'] ;
$phone = $REQUEST['phone'] ;
$email = $REQUEST['email'] ;

if (!isset($_REQUEST['address'])) {
header( "Location: formurl.html" );
}
elseif (empty($name) || empty($address) || empty($phone) || empty($email))
echo "Please fill out all fields." ;

else {
mail( "[e-mail]", "N:$name, A:$address,P:$phone",
"Name: $name

Address: $address

Phone: $phone

Email: $email ",

"From: $email" );

header( "Location: http://www.errorurl.com" );
   }

?>

what exactly do you mean by 'send a file to the visitor?' If you mean email them a file then you should probably use a mailer class like phpmailer().

If you mean output a file to their browser, you should look into readfile().

Where it says this:

mail( "[e-mail]", "N:$name, A:$address,P:$phone",

change to this:

mail( $email, "N:$name, A:$address,P:$phone",

However, this is quite insecure and can open your mail script up to a form-injection attack. Before you use an untested incoming variable in the TO: field of the mail() tag, use some sort of validation to ensure that it is a well-formed address. The same warning applies to the "From: $email" headers field.

See http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php for further details.

Thanks for your replies. Yes I would like to email them a file. I managed for it to work with this code

<?
$name = $REQUEST['name'] ;
$address = $REQUEST['address'] ;
$city = $REQUEST['city'] ;
$state = $REQUEST['state'] ;
$zip = $REQUEST['zip'] ;
$phone = $REQUEST['phone'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;

if (!isset($_REQUEST['address'])) {
header( "Location: http://html" );
}
elseif (empty($name) || empty($address) || empty($phone) || empty($email))
echo "Please fill out all fields." ;

else {
mail( "[e-mail]", "File requested for $name",
"Name: $name

Address: $address $city, $state $zip
Phone: $phone

Email: $email ",

"From: $email" );

header( "Location: thankyou.html" );
   }

?>
<?php

    $to = "$name <$email>"; 
    $from = "my email <[e-mail]>"; 
    $subject = "File requested for for $name"; 
    $message ="

Dear $name!
Here is the file you requested
";

    $fileatt = "file.pdf";
    $fileatttype = "application/pdf"; 
    $fileattname = "file.pdf";

     $headers = "From: $from";

?>
<?php

    $file = fopen( $fileatt, 'rb' ); 
    $data = fread( $file, filesize( $fileatt ) ); 
    fclose( $file );

?>
<?php

    $file = fopen( $fileatt, 'rb' ); 
    $data = fread( $file, filesize( $fileatt ) ); 
    fclose( $file );

?>
<?php

    $semi_rand = md5( time() ); 
    $mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x"; 

    $headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" . 
                "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" . 
                " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

    $message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" . 
            "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . 
            "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" . 
            "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" . 
            $message . "\n\n";

    $data = chunk_split( base64_encode( $data ) );

    $message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . 
             "Content-Type: {$fileatttype};\n" . 
             " name=\"{$fileattname}\"\n" . 
             "Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" . 
             " filename=\"{$fileattname}\"\n" . 
             "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . 
             $data . "\n\n" . 
             "--{$mime_boundary}--\n"; 

?>
<?php

    if( mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers ) ) {

        echo "<p>The email was sent.</p>"; 

    }
    else { 

        echo "<p>There was an error sending the mail.</p>"; 

    }    

?>

I figured that this part is where I enter the file information. Now how do I change it so that it will send multiple files?

    $fileatt = "file.pdf";
    $fileatttype = "application/pdf"; 
    $fileattname = "file.pdf";
