I am emailing attachments in php to customers for backup purposes using the below script. However I am using weird file extensions like ".sav, .0, .raw, .duc etc...". When I mail these gmail, and I presume other clients, detects that there is a attachment (shows clip logo) but the attachment isn't shown. When I rename the file to a txt it is sent and shows up as a normal file. I believe I have to sets something with the content type in the mime. .
Does anyone know how to mail these files?
Code:
function sendmailatt($email_address,$htmlemail,$textemail,$subject,$fromname,$from,$attachment,$originalfilename) {
$headers = "From: $fromname<$from>\r\n"; //add From: header
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; //specify MIME version 1.0
$boundary = uniqid("HTMLDEMO"); //unique boundary
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative" .
"; boundary = $boundary\r\n\r\n"; //tell e-mail client this e-mail contains//alternate versions
$headers .= "This is a MIME encoded message.\r\n\r\n"; //message to people with clients who don't understand MIME
//plain text version of message
$headers .= "--$boundary\r\n" .
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n\r\n";
$headers .= chunk_split(base64_encode($textemail));
//HTML version of message
$headers .= "--$boundary\r\n" .
"Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n\r\n";
$headers .= chunk_split(base64_encode($htmlemail));
if($attachment!="") {
//Attachment version of message
$extension=explode (".", $attachment);
$countdot=count($extension)-1;
$extension=$extension[$countdot];
$headers .= "--$boundary\r\n" .
"Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=$originalfilename\r\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n" .
"Content-Disposition: attachment\r\n\r\n";
$headers .= chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents('backup/'.$attachment)));
}
if (!mail("$email_address", "$subject", "", $headers)) {
$erreur++; $erreurmsg.='There was a problem sending your email please try again.<br>';
}
}
ps. I wasn't sure witch forum to post in I hope I chose the right one
Use of function
