Sending a text/PHP file

[Martin Pickering]

I want to pick up a PHP file from my server as two separate text files, add the web page visitor's email address into the string, then send it to him.

I can already do this but the string arrives in the body of the message whereas I want it to arrive as an attachment and preferably with the filename "email.php".

Is it a simple matter of changing the header or am I out of my depth?

I can get it to arrive as an HTML attachment but that's not what I want and it has the filename "Enclosed.html" when my email client receives it.

Here's the script which achieves that so far. I've omitted the obvious parts:

Code: Select all

<?php
// Set headers
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/txt; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

$f = "part1.txt";
$g = "part2.txt";

// Get text files
$part1 = implode('',file($f));
$part2 = implode('',file($g));

//Add files together with email address in place
$note = $part1 . $MFrom . $part2;

// And this is the actual email and the function to send it
mail($MFrom,$MailSubject,"

$note

","From: someone@somewhere.com" . "\r\n"  . $headers . "\r\n");

?>

Finished


Help/corrections would be very much appreciated.

OK, I've read this:

..but I don't fully understand it.

It makes me wonder, however, if I should be saving the string as a file (how?) in order to send it as an attachment (how?)

My powers are limited. I can unscramble a satellite broadcast but I can't unscramble an egg.

This looks promising:

Thanks. In fact the "hollowearth" page was exactly what I needed. It was so close that all I had to do was copy/paste it and change a couple of variables to suit my needs. I'm now able to send an email with two attachments.
