Hi, i want to make a program that reads data from database and create a xml file. Then mail this file to someone else... there is no problem in creating file or mailing. but when i open the attachment in e-mail, some characters in xml tags disappear. so recipient can't parse xml file in attachment. for example in orijinal xml file <member> <name>emrah</name> <surname>sener</surname> </member> in the attachment <member> <name>emrah</name> <surname>sener</surame>(!!!) </member> is this problem about transfer encoding? i try 7bit, 8bit, base64 ... but nothing happens... $mime_boundary = "<<<--==+X[".md5(time())."]"; $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\r\n"; $headers .= " boundary=\"".$mime_boundary."\""; $message .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n"; $message .= "\r\n"; $message .= "--".$mime_boundary."\r\n"; $message .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n"; $message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\n"; $message .= "\r\n"; $message .= "Transfer List: \r\n"; $message .= "--".$mime_boundary."\r\n"; $message .= "Content-Type: text/xml; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n"; $message .= " name=".basename("transfer.xml")."\r\n"; $message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\n"; $message .= "Content-Disposition: attachment;\r\n"; $message .= " filename=\"transfer.xml\"\r\n"; $message .= "\r\n"; $fp = fopen("transfer.xml","rb"); $message .= fread($fp, filesize("transfer.xml")); $message .= "\r\n"; $message .= "--".$mime_boundary."\r\n"; $go = mail("emrahsen51@xxxxxxxxx","XML Transfer", $message, $headers); thanks... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
