PHP form with upload file feature attach to email
Hi,
I have some code already that uploads file types to a folder named 'files'. What I would like to do is change my code so that files can be attached to an email instead. I have two parts to the code the first part is the upload code and second part is the email code. (I'd also like to keep the form code on a separate html page and then submits to the php page.) Please see my code below:

Thanks, I think its partly working. The file didn't actually attach it came through as code. When I received the email it came out something like this:
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="folio-abs.jpg"
/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAYABgAA
AAAAOgAAACgBAwABAAAAAgAAAA
AQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQ
AQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQ
etc....
Also, it doesn't have to be an image file it could be any file extension.
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="folio-abs.jpg"
/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAYABgAA
AAAAOgAAACgBAwABAAAAAgAAAA
AQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQ
AQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQ
etc....
Also, it doesn't have to be an image file it could be any file extension.
see if it works now, it can be any file

No still not working. This time is doesn't send any email at all. The files are uploading fine into the servers though just not on the email.
if you do print $email; it must be there so that email has from address, check this please
ASKER

let me do some testing to see if mail comes, i'll post back in few minutes
