How to add a second attachment to an email?

[easmith]

I have completed writing a job application which sends form data as an html attachment. You can see the truncated (but thorough) code in this thread.

The next step: I need to include a second attachment (a resume) included in the form by the applicant. Here is the relevant html:

<label class="textfield">Attach your resume: </label><input type="file" name="attachedfile" accept="application/pdf, application/msword, text, text/html" class="textfield" size="25">

And here is the PHP that creates an html file using the submitted data, then attaches it to the email:

$attachments[] = Array(
   'data' => $data,
   'name' => $filename . '.html',
   'type' => 'text/html'
);

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

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
           'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $email . '>' . "\r\n" .
             "Cc: [e-mail]\n".
           "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
           " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

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

foreach($attachments as $attachment){
   $data = chunk_split(base64_encode($attachment['data']));
   $name = $attachment['name'];
   $type = $attachment['type'];

   $message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
              "Content-Type: {$type};\n" .
              " name=\"{$name}\"\n" .              

              "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
              $data . "\n\n" ;
}

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

$mail = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); 

Normally to add attachments, I would use the old stand-by:

foreach($_FILES as $userfile){
      $tmp_name = $userfile['tmp_name'];
      $type = $userfile['type'];
      $name = $userfile['name'];
      $size = $userfile['size'];

  if (file_exists($tmp_name)){

     if(is_uploaded_file($tmp_name)){

        $file = fopen($tmp_name,'rb');

        $data = fread($file,filesize($tmp_name));

        fclose($file);

...but that seems only applicable while adding files from the form, so it destroys the new file I've created using form data. Has anyone else tackled this before? Am I missing something fairly obvious?

I don't really understand what problem you are having? Personally, I use PHPMailer when sending email from within PHP.

Here is the (obviously broken) code I have currently. I can see the problem with the same-named strings. The odd part, though, is that the email still sends just fine. Only, instead of an html file, I get a text file with the html data (ATT00043.txt) and no resume at all.

// For the Resume...
$tmp_name = $_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'];
$type = $_FILES['filename']['type'];
$name = $_FILES['filename']['name'];
$size = $_FILES['filename']['size'];

// For the Application..
$attachments[] = Array(
	'data' => $data,
	'name' => $filename . '.html',
	);

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

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
			'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $email . '>' . "\r\n" .
			"Cc: \n".
			"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
			" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

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


// For the Resume...

   if (file_exists($tmp_name)){

  // check to make sure that it is an uploaded file and not a system file
  if(is_uploaded_file($tmp_name)){

     // open the file for a binary read
     $file = fopen($tmp_name,'rb');

     // read the file content into a variable
     $data = fread($file,filesize($tmp_name));

     // close the file
     fclose($file);
}
}

// And back to the Application...

foreach($attachments as $attachment){
	$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($attachment['data']));
	$name = $attachment['name'];
	$type = $attachment['type'];

$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
			"Content-Type: {$type};\n" .
			" name=\"{$name}\"\n" .              
			"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
			$data . "\n\n" ;
}

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

// Mail it.

$mail = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

if ($mail) {
	echo "

	";
} else {
echo "no dice";
}

You are assigning an empty value of $data to your attachments array:

// For the Application..
$attachments[] = Array(
    'data' => $data,
    'name' => $filename . '.html',
    );

You need to put that code immediately before the loop, after the code that actually defines the contents of $data.
