Upload and Send Attachment

[vatsal06]

I am trying to upload 3 files and send it to a user. I have a file form.php which is as below:

<FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="thnx.php" METHOD="POST">
  <p>First Name
    <input name="First_Name" type="text" />
  </p>
  <p>E-mail:
    <input name="email" type="text" id="email" />
  </p>
  <p>Attachment</p>
  <p>
    <input type="file" name="attachment[]0" />
  </p>
  <p>
    <input type="file" name="attachment[]1" />
  </p>
  <p>
    <input type="file" name="attachment[]2" />
  </p>
  <p>
    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
  </p>
</form>

In thnx.php the code is as below:

 
$First_Name = $_POST["First_Name"]; 

$email = $_POST["email"];


if ($First_Name == "" || $email == "")
{
echo "<span class=gen>One or more fields are not filled in correctly. Please go back and make sure all fields are filled.</span>";
}
else
{
$subject = "Form submitted from Website";
$to  = "Me <[e-mail]>";
$message = "$First_Name has filled the feedback form. His Contact Details are as below:

Name: $First_Name 
E-mail ID: $email


";

mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $First_Name <$email>");

				echo "Dear ";
				echo $_POST["First_Name"];
				echo ",<br> <br>";
				echo "Thanks a lot for contacting us. We would get back to you soon.<br><br>";
				echo "Vipul";
}

How do I specify
1: Where to upload files temporarily on server (specify folder)
2: How do I attach the files with this mail
3: Delete the temporary files from the server

I desperately need Help 😕

1) Files are already uploaded temporarily by default
2) See my post here
3) Uploaded files are deleted by default at the end of the processing script

The only way files will be saved permanently is if you move the temporary file to a permanent storage location in your processing script. Otherwise, uploaded files only exist during the execution of the script.

My Code is as below:

$First_Name = $_POST["First_Name"]; 
$email = $_POST["email"]; 
$file = $_POST["attachment[]"];


// File attachment, if any... 
if($file != "") 
  $message->addAttachment($file, 'application/octet-stream');


if ($First_Name == "" || $email == "") 
{ 
echo "<span class=gen>One or more fields are not filled in correctly. Please go back and make sure all fields are filled.</span>"; 
} 
else 
{ 
$subject = "Form submitted from Website"; 
$to  = "Me <[e-mail]>"; 
$message = "$First_Name has filled the feedback form. His Contact Details are as below: 

Name: $First_Name 
E-mail ID: $email 


"; 

mail($to, $subject, $message, $file, "From: $First_Name <$email>"); 

                echo "Dear "; 
                echo $_POST["First_Name"]; 
                echo ",<br> <br>"; 
                echo "Thanks a lot for contacting us. We would get back to you soon.<br><br>"; 
                echo "Vipul"; 
} 

Mail is not getting delivered. Can you please help?

Check to see if you mail even got to the mail server. The mail() function returns a boolean value. A false return value would indicate that there's a configuration issue and you need to change your mail settings. If the return value is true, your mail configuration is probably okay, but the email is getting rejected by the recipient host.

$server_response = mail($to, $subject, $message, $file, "From: $First_Name <$email>");
if($server_response)
  echo "Mail server accepted mail for delivery."
else
  echo "Could not negotiate with mail server."

One of the reasons people often opt for a mail interface such as PEAR mail is because PHP mail offers a bare minimum of built-in mail features. A more robust mail framework might give you better feedback and take some of the mail formatting work off your hands.
