Tweet Most of the webinfopedia users asking me to post article regarding the PHP email with attachment. So, here am going to explain you about PHP email with attachment. This will help you in website where you need to get some files from user and send to an email address. You can download the PHP email with attachment script.
You can download the original PHP email with attachment script from below:
First we need to create a HTML for to attach a file and send it across the PHP mail.
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=="POST") { // Set the "To" email address $to="admin@webinfopedia.com"; //Subject of the mail $subject="Join Us E-mail with Resume attachment"; // Get the sender's name and email address plug them a variable to be used later $from = stripslashes($_POST['name'])."<".stripslashes($_POST['email']).">"; // Check for empty fields if(empty($_POST['name']) || empty($_POST['email']) || empty($_POST['message'])) { $errors .= " Error: all fields are required"; } // Get all the values from input $name = $_POST['name']; $email_address = $_POST['email']; $message = $_POST['message']; // Check the email address if (!eregi( "^[_a-z0-9-]+(.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(.[a-z0-9-]+)*(.[a-z]{2,3})$", $email_address)) { $errors .= "Error: Invalid email address"; } // Now Generate a random string to be used as the boundary marker $mime_boundary="==Multipart_Boundary_x".md5(mt_rand())."x"; // Now Store the file information to a variables for easier access $tmp_name = $_FILES['filename']['tmp_name']; $type = $_FILES['filename']['type']; $file_name = $_FILES['filename']['name']; $size = $_FILES['filename']['size']; // Now here we setting up the message of the mail $message = "Name: $name Email: $email_address Message: $message Here is your file: $file_name"; // Check if the upload succeded, the file will exist if (file_exists($tmp_name)) { // Check to make sure that it is an uploaded file and not a system file if(is_uploaded_file($tmp_name)){ // Now Open the file for a binary read $file = fopen($tmp_name,'rb'); // Now read the file content into a variable $data = fread($file,filesize($tmp_name)); // close the file fclose($file); // Now we need to encode it and split it into acceptable length lines $data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data)); } // Now we'll build the message headers $headers = "From: $from" . "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;" . " boundary="{$mime_boundary}""; // Next, we'll build the message body note that we insert two dashes in front of the MIME boundary when we use it $message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format." . "--{$mime_boundary}" . "Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" . $message . ""; // Now we'll insert a boundary to indicate we're starting the attachment we have to specify the content type, file name, and disposition as an attachment, then add the file content and set another boundary to indicate that the end of the file has been reached $message .= "--{$mime_boundary}" . "Content-Type: {$type};" . " name="{$file_name}"" . //"Content-Disposition: attachment;" . //" filename="{$fileatt_name}"" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" . $data . "" . "--{$mime_boundary}--"; // Thats all.. Now we need to send this mail...if (@mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) { echo '<div> <center> <h1>Mail Sent successfully !!</h1> </center></div>'; }else { echo '<div><center> <h1>Error !! Unable to send Mail..</h1> </center> </div>'; } } }
Done.. !! Now save the file in PHP and run.. You can send any file as attachment in PHP using this script. If you want to restrict for any file type give a condition before processing the attachment..
Hope that this will be helpful for you..
