Adding attatchment facility to basic email script? - Computer Programmers, Programming Forum

Asher · #1 06-18-2009

Hey people,
On a site I own I have a basic form that is emailed to me when completed, below is the php script behind it, I want to add a single attatchment box so files such as word documents, pdf's, text files can be attatched, I have already added the file upload input to the html form but do not know what needs adding to the script inorder for it to be sent along with the email as an attatchment, I have named the new input 'fileatt', any help?

Cheers

<?php



   $company = $_POST['company'];

   $name = $_POST['name'];

Ok, Im nearly there, I just have one problem, The file attatchment path isnt uploaded directly from the page before, it is passed over a page using a hidden input value which is then set at $fileatt = $_POST['fileatt']; , how do I set the file att when the script is two pages after the upload box, the script is as follows.

PHP Code:


			
<?php



   $company = $_POST['company'];

   $name = $_POST['name'];

   $number = $_POST['number'];

   $email = $_POST['email'];

   

   $invoice = $_POST['invoice'];

   $delivery = $_POST['delivery'];

   $comments = $_POST['comments'];

   $order1qty = $_POST['order1qty'];

    $order2qty = $_POST['order2qty'];

    $order3qty = $_POST['order3qty'];

    $order4qty = $_POST['order4qty'];

    $order5qty = $_POST['order5qty'];

    $order6qty = $_POST['order6qty'];

             

    $order1 = $_POST['order1'];

    $order2 = $_POST['order2'];

    $order3 = $_POST['order3'];

    $order4 = $_POST['order4'];

    $order5 = $_POST['order5'];

    $order6 = $_POST['order6'];

    

    $A1 = $_POST['A1'];

    $B1 = $_POST['B1'];

    $C1 = $_POST['C1'];

    $D1 = $_POST['D1'];

    $E1 = $_POST['E1'];

    $F1 = $_POST['F1'];

    

    $fileatt = $_POST['fileatt']; 

    





// Read POST request params into global vars

$to      = "enquiries@redlands-print.co.uk";

$from    = "".$email."";

You might look at moving the file to an accessible folder from the file attach page. Then, use a session or something to "remember" the files name, so when you get to the part where you send the email, you can pull the file.
