Don't bother using mail(). Download PHPMailer from phpmailer.sourceforge.net,<wbr /> upload it to your web area and call it with a script like the ones here:<br />

You don't need to load the file before sending it, just point PHPMailer at the file and it will grab it for you.

Hmm... I just tested this and it didn't seem to work. &nbsp;Please note that I'm trying to download files that may not necessarily be from the same server, i.e. an http/ftp link. &nbsp;Should this class still work with that?

PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
