PHP send email with attachment

Asked by bloggermouth in PHP Scripting Language

I am using the following function to send out invoices as an attachment. The script is sending the file as expected but the message body in the email shows the following;
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I would prefer the actual message but can't figure out how to properly form the headers.Start Free Trial
