Hi,

I'm 73 and retired.

Looking for code to add to a web site that will allow the user to send a message and an attachment via email.

I have the php, etc that will send email but can't find the code to send an attachment.

Or at least one that I can understand how to install.

I've been looking at "upload_class.php" but the installation instructions seem either vague or missing.

TIA,

Hi Bob! Welcome to the forums.

How much do you know about php and what is it exactly that you want to do? Do you only need the attachment uploaded and the mail send to you with a link to the uploaded file, or do you need it to be send allong as an attachment with the mail?

(Normally the first advise would be to get used to php a bit, so you can fully understand premade scripts and be able to modify them, but at 73 I'm not sure how good this advise would be... Wink )

I'm not too familiar with php yet. I get along with simple statements.

What I want to do is;
               <input type="submit" value="Send File" />
               <input type="submit" value="Submit Application" />

with one button.

And then send the Application (form data) AND the attached file to my email address.

You can find a bit more about e-mailing with php here Visit through proxy on page 5 of the article they talk about sending attachments and there is a working script to download. I haven't tried the script myself, but it sounds like the kind of script you are looking for.

Hi Bob and welcome aboard Smiley

I am glad for you, it needs a lot of courage to start with a programming language at your age, and in general programming is a tough thing (I am 26, working as a programmer, and I have decided to stop some time, hopefully before I damage my brain Smiley )

I can provide you with help on how to send an email with attachment, or even write a tutorial about that, but as I am really tired now I will leave it for tomorrow. In the meanwhile you can check this php class Visit through proxy which is capable to send emails with attachments.

Here is the .php I've got so far. Everything works except no attachment is sent. "fileatt_name" contains the file name.
Any suggestions?
