in my website there is a form for entering details and attaching resume. code is given below $fileatt =/.'resume/'.$_FILES['userfile']['name'] ; // Path to the file $fileatt_type = "application/octet-stream"; // File Type $fileatt_name = "CV".$_POST['name'].".doc"; // Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment $email_from = $_POST['name']." ".$_POST['email']; // Who the email is from $email_subject = 'Application'; $email_message =' <table cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="600"> <tr> <td width="120">Name</td> <td>'.$_POST[name].'</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="120">Age</td> <td>'.$_POST[age].'</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="120">Date of Birth</td> <td>'.$_POST[date].'/'.$_POST[month].'/'.$_POST[year].'</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="120">Gender</td> <td>'.$_POST[gender].'</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="120">Nationality</td> <td>'.$_POST[nation].'</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="120">Country of Residence</td> <td>'.$_POST[country].'</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="120">Contact Telephone</td> <td>'.$_POST[phone].'</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="120">Email</td> <td>'.$_POST[email].'</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="120">Applying For</td> <td>'.$_POST[applyfor].'</td> </tr> </table> '; $email_to = 'abc@xxx.com'; //adds the e-mail address of the sender $headers = "From: ".$_POST[email]; $semi_rand = md5(time()); $mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x"; $headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" . "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" . " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\""; $email_message .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" . "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . "Content-Type:text/html; charset=\"utf-8\"\n" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" . $email_message . "\n\n"; $file = fopen($fileatt,'rb'); $data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt)); fclose($file); $data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data)); $email_message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . "Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" . " name=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . $data . "\n\n" . "--{$mime_boundary}\n"; unset($data); unset($file); unset($fileatt); unset($fileatt_type); unset($fileatt_name); @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers); PHP: the code is working fine ,details along with the attachment is received in the mail. but the problem is , users can only attach word document . if any pdf file or txt file is attached , it is not able to open the file from the mail id. tried many ways , didnt work. please helpe to solve this.. any help will be appreciated.
Are you open to using a third part class to do you mailing? If so, it may simply your attachment process. http://swiftmailer.org/
