mail php attachment problem
I am trying to set up my script to send the content of a contact form via php mail.
When I add to attach the file attachment in the header of the email, then my message dissapears.
Any idea how I can work around this problem?

If I understand your design concept, the client is expected to fill in a contact form and upload a file. Is that right?

Your script worked, and I have now discovered that somehow it has to do with my message content that isn't coming through.
If the $message = "test";
then it comes through in the email.
When I switch the message to look like this, then no data comes through.
If the $message = "test";
then it comes through in the email.
When I switch the message to look like this, then no data comes through.
$message .= "Following is an application submitted\n\n";
$message .= "Charity Name: ".($_POST['charityName'])."\n";
$message .= "charity Website: ".($_POST['charityWebsite'])."\n";
$message .= "contact Phone: ".($_POST['contactPhone'])."\n";
$message .= "Email: ".($_POST['Email'])."\n";
$message .= "Address: ".($_POST['Address'])."\n";
$message .= "Mission: ".($_POST['Mission'])."\n";
$message .= "Taxid Number: ".($_POST['TaxidNumber'])."\n";
$message .= "\n\nSubmitted on ".date("F j, Y, g:i a");
Why not try printing the message to the browser window, so you can see what it contains?

the problem in my message above is the line that pulls the email. although I am not sure why.
If I take the post['email'] out , then I get the text.
#2, why do I get the attachement as a .dat file that doesn't open.
how can I just get the attachement as it is?

Something does not make sense here. The original PHP script does not match the script fragment that contains information about charities. Please, let's reorganize this question and its code snippets, so we can copy your code, install it on our own servers, and run it to see what it is doing. We need you to create the SSCCE and post it here for us, thanks.

i changed the message to match the fields that I will need in the form.
So I realized that my file upload box has a different name. I fixed that and now the upload works correctly. But again, the message isn't coming through.

$message = "Following is an application submitted\n\n";
$message .= "message: ". strip_tags($_POST['message'])."\n";
$message .= "Charity Name: ". strip_tags($_POST['charityName'])."\n";
$message .= "Charity Name: ". strip_tags($_POST['charityName'])."\n";
$message .= "charity Website: ". strip_tags($_POST['charityWebsite'])."\n";
$message .= "contact Phone: ". strip_tags($_POST['contactPhone'])."\n";
// $message .= "Email: ". strip_tags($_POST['Email'])."\n";
$message .= "Address: ". strip_tags($_POST['Address'])."\n";
$message .= "Mission: ". strip_tags($_POST['Mission'])."\n";
$message .= "Taxid Number: ". strip_tags($_POST['TaxidNumber'])."\n";Why not try printing the message to the browser window, so you can see what it contains?If you do that, please post the message here so we can see what it contains, too. You will need to use "view source" to copy the message -- the browser display will not be byte-by-byte accurate because of the way browsers render things like entities and whitespace.
