here is my code that i grabbed off the intarwebnet:


<?php


// Read POST request params into global vars
$redirectpage = "thanks_submit.php";
$errorpage = "error.php";
$to = "no@dubtastic.com";
$replyTo = $_POST['email'];
$from = $_POST['firstname'] . " " . $_POST['lastname'];
$subject = "Testing File Attachment";
$message = $_POST['message'];

// Obtain file upload vars
$fileatt = $_FILES['fileatt']['tmp_name'];
$fileatt_type = $_FILES['fileatt']['type'];
$fileatt_name = $_FILES['fileatt']['name'];

$headers = "From: " . $from . "\r\nReply-To: " . $replyTo;

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);

// Generate a boundary string
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";

// Add the headers for a file attachment
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

// 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" .
$message . "\n\n";

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

// 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";
}

// Send the message
$ok = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($ok) {
header("Location: $redirectpage");
} else {
header("Location: $errorpage");
}
?>

what adjustments need to be made to the code so that the description and other information is included in the message? it is sending the file attachment, but it is not sending the persons website or description in the message. it is almost as if the file attachment overwrites the $message variable instead of appending to it.

any of you php gurus out there wanna tell me where i messed up?

nevermind, figured it out... the form field with the description was named description instead of "message". also made some other changes. here is the code for those who care, and also for those that dont! :P


<?php


// Read POST request params into global vars
$redirectpage = "thanks_submit.php";
$errorpage = "error.php";
$to = "email here";
$replyTo = $_POST['email'];
$from = $_POST['firstname'] . " " . $_POST['lastname'];
$subject = "Test Subject Line";
$message = stripslashes("Name: " . $from . "\n\n" . "Email: " . $_POST['email'] . "\n\nWebsite: ". $_POST['url'] . "\n\n" . "Descripton: " . $_POST['description']);

// Obtain file upload vars
$fileatt = $_FILES['fileatt']['tmp_name'];
$fileatt_type = $_FILES['fileatt']['type'];
$fileatt_name = $_FILES['fileatt']['name'];

$headers = "From: " . $from . "\r\nReply-To: " . $replyTo;

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);
