Hi all
I have a script that is supposed to use the mail function to send an
email with an attachment, however, when run the script I dont get any
errors but in the body of the email there is a lot of mixed up text,
which i presume is meant to be the attachment.
Below is the code that performs the sending:
if (file_exists
("/home/httpd/vhosts/myserv.com/httpdocs/pps/" . $row['pps_doc'] .""))
{
$pps_name= $row['pps_doc'];
$pps =
"/home/httpd/vhosts/myserv.com/httpdocs/pps/" . $row['pps_doc'];
$pps_size = $row['pps_size'];
}
$headers .= "From: myserv.com <paul@xxxxxxxxxx>\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain;
charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n";
$fp = fopen($pps,'rb');
$file = fread($fp, $pps_size);
/*
Encode The Data For Transition using base64_encode();
And get a 32-character hexadecimal number
*/
$fileContent .= chunk_split(base64_encode($file));
$num = md5( time() );
$headers .= "Content-Type:
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint; \r\n";
$headers.= "name=\"$pps_name\"\r\n";
$headers.= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";
$headers.= "Content-Disposition: attachment; \r\n";
$headers .= "filename=\"$pps_name\"\r\n\n";
$headers .= $fileContent . "\r\n";
$headers .= "--$num--";
if(!mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
echo "Error: mail() function failed!<BR>";
}
Im not sure what is causing the problem, the attachment is a powerpoint
slide, Ive tried the various Mime Types for pps, all with the same
result so I presume thats not it thats causing the email to be sent in
the body.
Thanks in advance for any help
Angelo
