Send image as attachment or an other file with email in php


This script is very useful if you thinking to send files as attachment to any email
in php.



// array with filenames to be sent as attachment
$files = array("file_1.ext","file_2.ext","file_3.ext",……);

// email fields: to, from, subject, and so on
$to = "mail@mail.com";
$from = "mail@mail.com";
$subject ="My subject";
$message = "My message";
$headers = "From: $from";

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

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

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

// preparing attachments
for($x=0;$x$message .= "–{$mime_boundary}\n";
$file = fopen($files[$x],"rb");
$data = fread($file,filesize($files[$x]));
fclose($file);
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
$message .= "Content-Type: {\"application/octet-stream\"};\n" . " name=\"$files[$x]\"\n" .
"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" . " filename=\"$files[$x]\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . $data . "\n\n";
}

// send

$ok = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($ok) {
echo "mail sent to $to!”;
} else {
echo “mail could not be sent!”;
}
