php file attaching/sending issue

ConsultClifford

Hi

Im using a script to send a file to the site admin.
It works locally (php 4.3.4) but does not on the remote server (php 4.3.10).
In fact on the remote it does send the mail with the data from the input fields but there is no file attached instead its got this :



--==Multipart_Boundary_x206067939527cd5646ed2a4c53bdf6c3x
Content-Type: application/msword;
name="article st malo.doc"
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="alo.doc"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

EAAAKQAAAAEAAAD+////AAAAACYAAAD/////////////////////////////////////////
EAAAKQAAAAEAAAD+////
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

anyone know what may be wrong? is the problem the difference in php versions?


Tnx


for reference here is the code relative to sending the file

[PHP]
// Obtain file upload vars
$fileatt = $_FILES;
$fileatt_type = $_FILES;
$fileatt_name = $_FILES;
$message="";
$data="";


if (is_uploaded_file($fileatt)) {
// Read the file to be attached ('rb' = read binary)
$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);
}



// Base64 encode the file data
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));


$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";


$msg .= _JL_RECEIVED_APPLICATION;

// Add a multipart boundary above the plain message
$message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n".
$msg . "\n\n";



// Add file attachment to the message
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . " Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" . " name=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .
" filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
$data . "\n\n".
"--{$mime_boundary}--\n";

[/PHP]

I dont have a solution to your problem, but I do have a question - why are you bothering to read the information into $data


Personally I would have uploaded the file to a temp folder, attached it to an email, then cleared out the temp folder - done and dusted

Also have a good look http://ie2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php - it may have the solution you require
