Contact Form with Attachment

Hey guys,

I'm having a bit of an issue setting up my contact form - the problem being the file attachment.

This is the form I have (bare in mind, I'm using a CAPTCHA as well):

                       	<form action="quick_contact.php" method="post" name="form" id="form" onsubmit="return checkform(this);" >
                            Full Name <br />
                            <input name="name" class="mini_input" type="text" id="name" alt="Enter Full Name Here." />
                            Date of Birth <br />
                            <input name="dob" type="text" class="mini_input" id="dob" alt="Enter Date of Birth." />
                            Address <br />
                            <textarea name="address" cols="3" rows="3" class="mini_comments" id="address"></textarea>
                            Mobile<br />
                            <input name="mobile" class="mini_input" type="text" id="mobile" alt="Enter Full Name Here." />
                            E-Mail<br />
                            <input name="email" type="text" class="mini_input" id="email" alt="Enter Date of Birth." />                                               
                            Preferred Department<br />
							<input name="department" type="text" class="mini_input" id="email" alt="Enter Date of Birth." />
                            Upload CV<br />
                            <input type="file" id="attachment" name="attached" class="file-upload" />
                            Please enter the correct validation code:<br />                                 
                            <div style="width:300px;">
                            <img style="margin:10px 10px 10px 0px; float:left;" src="CaptchaSecurityImages.php?width=100&amp;height=40&amp;characters=5" alt="Captcha Security Images" />
                            <input id="security_code" class="mini_input_02" name="security_code" style="margin:12px 0px 0px 0px;" type="text" />
                            </div>
                            <div class="clear"></div>
                            <input name="submit" type="submit" id="button" value="Submit" alt="Submit" class="button"/>
                            <input name="reset" type="reset" id="reset" value="Reset" alt="Reset" class="button"  />
	                    </form>

Code (markup):

This is the PHP I have setup:

<?php
   session_start();
   if(($_SESSION['security_code'] == $_POST['security_code']) && (!empty($_SESSION['security_code'])) ) {
      // Insert you code for processing the form here, e.g emailing the submission, entering it into a database. 
      unset($_SESSION['security_code']);
	
$message = "
Full Name: {$_POST['name']} 
Date of Birth: {$_POST['dobl']} 
Address: {$_POST['address']} 
Mobile: {$_POST['mobile']}
Email: {$_POST['email']}
Preferred Department: {$_POST['department']}

";
		
$recipient = "email@domain.com";
$subject = "Contact Us Enquiry";
$mailheader = "From: {$_POST['email']}";

mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $mailheader) or die ("Failure");
		
   } 
   
   else {
		sleep(2); 
		header("location:failure.html");
   }
     
?>

Code (markup):

My question is, how do I assign the variable in my PHP for the file attachment - being this one:

<input type="file" id="attachment" name="attached" class="file-upload" />

Code (markup):

Thanks!

 

First, you must add enctype="multipart/form-data" in your <form> tag or it will never work.
Then use something like this (from http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file_upload.asp)

<?php
// To check if a file was uploaded :
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
{
echo "Error: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
}

$filename = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
$fullpath = $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];

?>
