phpMailer and attachments

[whoknows361]

hello - I followed your advice and got phpmailer - however as a newbie to php I need more assistance.

I am using the following php code to upload a graphic file to my server and following it with the phpmailer code to send an email - so my php script looks likes this:

//move the uploaded file 
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], "./files/".$_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
chmod("./files/".$_FILES['Filedata']['name'], 0777);

$mail = new PHPMailer();


$mail->From     = "whoknows361@msn.com";
$mail->FromName = "Jon";
$mail->AddAddress("myemail@myemail.com","Jonathan"); 
$mail->AddReplyTo("myemail@myemail.com","Jonathan");

$mail->WordWrap = 50;                              // set word wrap
$mail->AddAttachment("/var/tmp/file.tar.gz"); 
$mail->IsHTML(true);                               // send as HTML

$mail->Subject  =  "Here is the subject";
$mail->Body     =  "This is the <b>HTML body</b>";
$mail->AltBody  =  "This is the text-only body";

if(!$mail->Send())
{
   echo "Message was not sent <p>";
   echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
   exit;
}

echo "Message has been sent";

Now on the attachment line in the phpmailer code it shows:
$mail->AddAttachment("/var/tmp/file.tar.gz");
But I need to change this to the image file which was identified in the first few lines.. How do I do this?
How can I reference the image file?
Your help is GREATLY appreciated.

please take the time to learn some php basics. read the manual, go on a training course, follow some tutorials...

the code below uses variables (big section in the manual on these). but you could equally have referenced the full path

"./files/".$_FILES['Filedata']['name']

//move the uploaded file 
$file = "./files/".$_FILES['Filedata']['name'];
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $file)){
 $cm = umask(0);
 chmod$file, 0777);
 umask($cm);
 $mail = new PHPMailer();
 $mail->From     = "whoknows361@msn.com";
 $mail->FromName = "Jon";
 $mail->AddAddress("myemail@myemail.com","Jonathan"); 
 $mail->AddReplyTo("myemail@myemail.com","Jonathan");

 $mail->WordWrap = 50;                              // set word wrap
 $mail->AddAttachment($file); 
 $mail->IsHTML(true);                               // send as HTML

 $mail->Subject  =  "Here is the subject";
 $mail->Body     =  "This is the <b>HTML body</b>";
 $mail->AltBody  =  "This is the text-only body";

 if(!$mail->Send())
 {
    echo "Message was not sent <p>";
    echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
    exit;
 }
 echo "Message has been sent";
}// end of if move uploaded file
