Here is a function that I got from someone here:


function mail_attachment ($from , $to, $subject, $message, $attachment){
$fileatt = $attachment; // Path to the file
$fileatt_type = "applicatio n/octet-stream"; // File Type
$start= strrpos($attach ment, '/') == -1 ? strrpos($attach ment, '//') :
strrpos($attach ment, '/')+1;
// Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment
$fileatt_name = substr($attachm ent, $start, strlen($attachm ent));
$email_from = $from; // Who the email is from
$email_subject = $subject; // The Subject of the email
$email_txt = $message; // Message that the email has in it

$email_to = $to; // Who the email is to

$headers = "From: ".$email_fr om;

$file = fopen($fileatt, 'rb');
$data = fread($file,fil esize($fileatt) );
fclose($file);
//$msg_txt="\n\nM ail created using free code from 4word systems :
http://4wordsystems.co m";

$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Bo undary_x{$semi_ rand}x";

$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mi me_boundary}\"" ;

//$email_txt .= $msg_txt;

$email_message .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary }\n" .
"Content-Type:text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
$email_txt . "\n\n";

$data = chunk_split(bas e64_encode($dat a));

$email_message .= "--{$mime_boundary }\n" .
"Content-Type: {$fileatt_type} ;\n" .
" name=\"{$fileat t_name}\"\n" .
//"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .
//" filename=\"{$fi leatt_name}\"\n " .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
$data . "\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary }--\n";


$ok = @mail($email_to , $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
//echo "Mail sent to " . $email_to . "<br>";

if($ok) {
} else {
die("Sorry but the email could not be sent. Please go back and try
again!");
}
}
