Send Mail with attachment

Hai , I want to send a mail with file attachment. To add a file using browse button i used the <input type=file> in html. After the selection a file, i have been pass that selected file path to another php file. Using GET method i can able to retrive the file name only, not full path. How can i pass full path of that selected file to php file?.... :roll:

Thanks in advance,
Revathy.

 

Two things are required when you're trying to submit a form with data
1) The form must use the 'post' method.
2) The form must have the enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute set

You cannot send a file attachment via the GET method.

And on the PHP side you use $_FILE (it gets saved to a temp location)

Example

html

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>

Code (markup):

PHP

$target_path = "uploads/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']); 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). 
    " has been uploaded";
} else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}

Hai Thank you very much. The above code is very useful for me. Thanks a lot. Now i can able to get the file and it uploaded to my server too. Using that target_path i tried to attach my file to send mail. But it has no content while i tried to open it after downloaded it from mail.

I attached a small text file, and i tried to open it, it missed some content. My original text file size is 156bytes, but my downloded file from mail is 99bytes.

And again i tried to send a mail with jpg file attachment. It downloads the same file but, while i tried to open, it shows no preview available.

 

Well the target path may need to be adjusted for your server's actual path, also the path being written to must be made writable (chmod 777 etc). The code I provided has nothing to do with mail.

 

Once again thank you for your reply. now I can able to send a mail with attachment. Thanks for your suggestions.

 

Hai, Now i have a problem while sending mail with word document as attachments. I can only able to send a mail with image files (jpg/gif). But my need is to attach word document. Can you help please?

My code for send jpg files is,

$to = 'revathy@yahoo.com';

$subject = 'PHP Mail Attachment Test';

$bound_text = "jimmyP123";

$bound = "--".$bound_text."\r\n";

$bound_last = "--".$bound_text."--\r\n";

$headers = "From: XX@yahoo.com\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"
."Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$bound_text\"";

$message .= "If you can see this MIME than your client doesn't accept MIME types!\r\n"
.$bound;

$message .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n"
."Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n"
.$bound;
//."hey my <b>good</b> friend here is a picture of regal beagle\r\n"

$file = file_get_contents($target_path);

$message .= "Content-Type: image/jpg; name=\"attached.jpg\"\r\n"
."Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n"
."Content-disposition: attachment; file=\"attached.jpg\"\r\n"
."\r\n"
.chunk_split(base64_encode($file))
.$bound_last;


if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
{
echo 'MAIL SENT';
} else {
echo 'MAIL FAILED';
}

?>

 

Change your Content-Type and file name inside of the email header as appropiate. Word Docs use application/msword , you can find more here : http://www.iangraham.org/books/html4ed/appb/mimetype.html , you can likely just use a switch(condition variable) to change the mime type based on file extensions.

You can also use $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'] on the original uploaded file to grab the name of the file as the user uploaded it. Because right now your content-type is setup only as a file named attached.jpg.

 

Hi, Thank you very much. Now my problem is solved. thanks a lot...
