upload file to server & send email

webguy262

I have code for uploading a file to a server, and I have code for sending an email.

Is there a way to combine the two forms so that an email is generated with each upload?

Can I just add the mail() function to the upload code and pass the email variables in the same form that specifies the file?

I'm not sure but I think attaching a file to an email using mail() is pretty difficult. You should probably consider using PHPMailer or Pear::Mail or something like that which should make it easier to add files as attachments.

I would imagine that the code that handles your upload would be a good place to do it, but don't really know much about what you are doing with your site.

I don't want to attach the file to the email. The file gets uploaded to the server. I just want the same script that uploads the file to send an email so that I know a file has been uploaded.

Yes. Have you not tried this already?
