Form with attachments

[Anon]

Hell everyone,

I have been all over the net looking for a form-mail script that allows my visitors
to attach zip files to the form and have all the contents sent to me via e-mail. Does anyone know where I can find such a script and if so would you please point me to the site where I can get it at ?

Please note that I have read some of the topics here that say to use a mail_class or something like that with your php script but I am very very new to php and I would not have a clue as to do something like that so what I am really looking for is a complete script that has that stuff already added to it or a script that does not require it. An example form that uses the script would be very helpful too so if you can please help me out here as I am going crazy trying to find this thing. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Regards,
Dave

Ok I tried to save the file located here http://www.phpwizard.net/resources/phpMisc/scripts/pretty/mail.php3 and call it from my browser but I got a message saying this file does not contain any data or somehting like that which I thought it would but I was wondeing if this is the kind of file I need and if so what kind of script would I use this with ? Thanks again

ofcourse, ready-made scripts are easiest because it saves you a lot fo work, but it also means you'll never learn how to do it yourself.

Read the PHP manual about the mail() function.
That should let you send mail in the first place.

Values entered in a form are automatically available as global variables in your script, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Read the php manual section about filesystem functions
to learn how to open files and read the content.

At the most basic level you can just uuencode the data from the file and append the uuencoded data to the body of the email. Modern methods use mime and all that cr*p, but good old UUE is a lot simpler to use.

At presto, files attached to emails.

Thanks for the reply vincent but I have never programmed anything before and it would take me way to long to figure all that stuff out but I will give it my best shot I hope you or someone else will be willing to help me out on this project because as I said I have never programmed anything in any language except for some HTML but I think everyone know that stuff. Anyway thanks again for the reply.
