Help with attachment via mail() (not far from solution)

[mellthy]

Hi,

I've used a code for sending e-mail via mail() function which posted here a programmer "ignition" (thread434-153872).

This code succesfully send an e-mail message which (in Outlook) contains some attachments (jpg image in this case).
But, the image has only a few of bytes and it's not an image at all. Whats wrong?

Here is the code I use:

*****************************************************************
$mail_to = "me@localhost";
$mail_from = "from@someone.com";
$mail_body_orig1 = "some body text";
$mail_title = "some subject";
$file_name_type = "image/jpeg";

$mail_boundary = md5(uniqid(time()));

$mail_headers .= "From: $mail_from \n";
$mail_headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$mail_headers .= "Content-type: multipart/mixed;";
$mail_headers .= "boundary= \"$mail_boundary\"";
$mail_headers .= "\r\n\r\n";

$new_mail_body .= "--$mail_boundary\n";
$new_mail_body .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii\r\n";
$new_mail_body .= "Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable\r\n\r\n";
$new_mail_body .= $mail_body_orig1;
$new_mail_body .= "\r\n";

$new_mail_body .= $file_name;
$new_mail_body .= "\r\n";

$new_mail_body .= "--$mail_boundary\n";

$mime_type = $file_name_type;

$new_mail_body .= "Content-type:$mime_type; name=\"$file_name\"\r\n";
$new_mail_body .= "Content-transfer-encoding:base64\r\n\r\n";
$new_mail_body .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$file_name."\"\r\n";
$new_mail_body .= chunk_split(base64_encode($file_name))."\r\n";
$new_mail_body .= "\r\n\r\n";

$new_mail_body .= "--$mail_boundary--";

mail($mail_to , $mail_title, $new_mail_body, $mail_headers);

It looks like you're base64-encoding the filename.

Shouldn't you be base64-encoding the contents of the file? ______________________________________________________________________
