}
//define the receiver of the email
$to = 'srigowsalya@buy2all.in';
//define the subject of the email
$subject = 'Test email with attachment';
//create a boundary string. It must be unique
//so we use the MD5 algorithm to generate a random hash

//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n
$headers = "From: webmaster@example.com\r\nReply-To: webmaster@example.com";
//add boundary string and mime type specification
$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"PHP-mixed-".$random_hash."\"";
//read the atachment file contents into a string,
//encode it with MIME base64,
//and split it into smaller chunks
$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode($tmpName));
//define the body of the message.

--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>

Hello World!!!
This is simple text email message.
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
<h2>Hello World!</h2>
<p>This is something with <b>HTML</b> formatting.</p>
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>--
--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: <?php echo $fileType;?>; name=<?php echo $fileName;?>
<?php echo $attachment; ?>
--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>--
<?php
//copy current buffer contents into $message variable and delete current output buffer
$message = ob_get_clean();
//send the email
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
//if the message is sent successfully print "Mail sent". Otherwise print "Mail failed"
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";
I prefer to use swift mail plugin ( http://swiftmailer.org/ )....... It deals with all the low level code... and allows us to handle the application logic well...

Specify the content transfer encoding in your attachment:
"Content-Transfer-Encoding : base64\r\n"
You may also wish to add a disposition:
"Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$filename\"\r\n "
Full code:
--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: <?php echo $fileType;?>
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="<?php echo $fileName;?>"
<?php echo $attachment; ?>
--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>--
I hope this helps

Try adding the "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" header to $headers. After adding the content type on line 27.
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
