[php]
<?php
$to = "$name <$email>";
$from = "John-Smith <john.smith@dom ain.com>";
$subject = "Here is your attachment";

$fileatt = "/public_html/pdfs/mypdf.pdf";
$fileatttype = "applicatio n/pdf";
$fileattname = "newname.pd f";

$headers = "From: $from";

$file = fopen( $fileatt, 'rb' );
$data = fread( $file, filesize( $fileatt ) );
fclose( $file );

$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}\"" ;

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

$data = chunk_split( base64_encode( $data ) );

That is a bit more complicated than sending emails with or without attachments.

Please have a look at the following, very useful, tutorials on building a web based email client. I am sure you'll find what you need.

If my post with links did not meet your requirement, maybe you can have a look at the email class of www.phpclasses.org. That contains a lot of email solutions, client and web based.

These classes are free to download, change and use and I am sure you'll find code and samples that can be used by you. Look at Email classes
