I tried your solution but I got the following error:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/guanajuato/public_html/Guanajuato/sendmail.php:2) in /home/guanajuato/public_html/Guanajuato/sendmail.php on line 88

check the source code of the page containing the header error ... and post it

Here is the code.

i tried youes and babuno5's as weel


babuno5 code worked fine for me ..... try it again ......

I tested it again and still didn't work.  If you look at the 2 codes carefully you will notice that babuno5's code is different than mine and does not contain the message box that allows for comments.  

first f it worked for you and you only missing the comment box we can add it .... we need a working code ... then we can add the extra code we need

Ok the working code is located in the original post.  To save you some time from going back up and looking at it here it is.

Ok I renamed all the forms to form1 and it submits stuff now but even if I leave any of the forms blank it will still submit without giving any kind of error message.

<?php
 if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=="POST"){
 $path_info = pathinfo($_FILES['filename']['name']);
        if (!in_array(strtolower($path_info['extension']),array('pdf','zip'))) {
                die ("can not upload this type of file");
        }
 
 
   // we'll begin by assigning the To address and message subject
   $to="reddyfire@gmail.com";
 
   $subject="E-mail with attachment";
 
   // get the sender's name and email address
   // we'll just plug them a variable to be used later
   $from = stripslashes($_POST['fromname'])."<".stripslashes($_POST['fromemail']).">";
 
   
   
   // generate a random string to be used as the boundary marker
   $mime_boundary="==Multipart_Boundary_x".md5(mt_rand())."x";
 
   // store the file information to variables for easier access
   $tmp_name = $_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'];
   $type = $_FILES['filename']['type'];
   $name = $_FILES['filename']['name'];
   $size = $_FILES['filename']['size'];
   $nimi =  $_REQUEST['nimi'];
   $comments = $_REQUEST['comments'];
 
 
 
   // here we'll hard code a text message
   // again, in reality, you'll normally get this from the form submission
   $message = stripslashes($_POST['comments'])."$comments";
 
   // if the upload succeded, the file will exist
   if (file_exists($tmp_name)){
 
      // check to make sure that it is an uploaded file and not a system file
      if(is_uploaded_file($tmp_name)){
 
         // open the file for a binary read
         $file = fopen($tmp_name,'rb');
 
         // read the file content into a variable
         $data = fread($file,filesize($tmp_name));
 
         // close the file
         fclose($file);
 
         // now we encode it and split it into acceptable length lines
         $data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
     }
 
    // now we'll build the message headers
         $headers = "From: $from\r\n" .
         "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" .
         "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\r\n" .
         " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
 
      // next, we'll build the message body
      // note that we insert two dashes in front of the
      // MIME boundary when we use it
      $message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .

         $message . "\n\n";
 
      // now we'll insert a boundary to indicate we're starting the attachment
      // we have to specify the content type, file name, and disposition as
      // an attachment, then add the file content and set another boundary to
      // indicate that the end of the file has been reached
      $message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
         "Content-Type: {$type};\n" .
         " name=\"{$name}\"\n" .

      if (@mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))

on line 97 your last condition is wrong
if (form1.fromname.value == "" || form1.fromemail.value == "" || form.1message.value == "") {

it is
form.1message.value
but it must be
form1.message.value

Thank you this really helped.

Thanks you for your help.  I was finally able to get it working.
