How to do it?

[Anon]

Hi ALL,

How can I do a PHP script to send mail messages with the mail() function and have it to send attachs also? I was wondering if there is a way to do it work just like those PHP based Webmail, i.e., IMP.
My files are in several workstations running Windows and my script will be in a Linux system. So I have to upload the file to my Linux system. How its done? I want to send an email with, let's say, 4 to 10 files attached in it. Is it possible to do it with the mail() function? If its not, can I use some POP3 functions to do it? What I really need is that compose mail page from IMP. A one that works just like that, but without having to copy to whole code.
Please, I would like any kind of help.

Thank you all!

That example was written by (c)Antonio (phpclub.net). That\'s a rus org so I think it is no use to try any nonrus spoken person to investigate that url. Anyway, hope he won\'t blame me 🙂

$mail->add_html(\"<body><center><h2>Hello!<br><br>\".
\"<br>Sending binary file [/bin/ls] ...\".

Well hope this is not useless. 🙂
