This example of a PHP mail function is created to send a plain text mail with one attached file. The file has to be uploaded first or should be an existing file on the server. Of course there are more adavced scrips on the net but I hope this will help the beginning PHP developer to their first mail with an attachment. Please notice that inside the function is no validation done yet.

<?php
function mail_attachment($filename, $path, $mailto, $from_mail, $from_name, $replyto, $subject, $message) {
   
$file = $path.$filename;
   
$file_size = filesize($file);
   
$handle = fopen($file, "r");
   
$content = fread($handle, $file_size);
   
fclose($handle);
   
$content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
   
$uid = md5(uniqid(time()));
   
$name = basename($file);
   
$header = "From: ".$from_name." <".$from_mail.">\r\n";
   
$header .= "Reply-To: ".$replyto."\r\n";
   
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
   
$header .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"".$uid."\"\r\n\r\n";
   
$header .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n";
   
$header .= "--".$uid."\r\n";
   
$header .= "Content-type:text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
   
$header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n";
   
$header .= $message."\r\n\r\n";
   
$header .= "--".$uid."\r\n";
   
$header .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"".$filename."\"\r\n"; // use diff. tyoes here
   
$header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";
   
$header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$filename."\"\r\n\r\n";
   
$header .= $content."\r\n\r\n";
   
$header .= "--".$uid."--";
    if (
mail($mailto, $subject, "", $header)) {
        echo =
"mail send ... OK"; // or use booleans here
   
} else {
        echo =
"mail send ... ERROR!";
    }
}
?>
