Its not a hard process if you use something like phpmailer. Show user form with upload field process the form on the server (incl file upload) check the file extension to ensure you're not sending something bad create the email attach the file send log that you received the file and send the email unlink the file -- Bastien Cat, the other other white meat -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
