<?php

// Receiving variables
$subject = "Barter Center";
$to = "mail@example.c om";
$pfw_ip= $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$first_name = addslashes($_PO ST['first_name']);
$last_name = addslashes($_PO ST['last_name']);
$country = addslashes($_PO ST['country']);
$address = addslashes($_PO ST['address']);
$from = addslashes($_PO ST['from']);
$product = addslashes($_PO ST['product']);
$make = addslashes($_PO ST['make']);
$model = addslashes($_PO ST['model']);
$year_made = addslashes($_PO ST['year_made']);
$value = addslashes($_PO ST['value']);
$description = addslashes($_PO ST['description']);



// Obtain file upload vars
$fileatt = $_FILES['fileatt']['tmp_name'];
$fileatt_type = $_FILES['fileatt']['type'];
$fileatt_name = $_FILES['fileatt']['name'];

$headers = "From: $from";

if (is_uploaded_fi le($fileatt)) {
// Read the file to be attached ('rb' = read binary)
$file = fopen($fileatt, 'rb');
$data = fread($file,fil esize($fileatt) );
fclose($file);

// Generate a boundary string
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Bo undary_x{$semi_ rand}x";

// Add the headers for a file attachment
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mi me_boundary}\"" ;

// Add a multipart boundary above the plain message
$message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary }\n" .
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
"Visitor's IP: $pfw_ip\n"

. "model: $model\n"
. "year_made: $year_made\n"
. "value: $value\n"
. "descriptio n: $description\n\ n";

// Base64 encode the file data
$data = chunk_split(bas e64_encode($dat a));

// Add file attachment to the message
$message .= "--{$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";
}

// Send the message
$ok = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($ok) {
echo "<p>Your product will be uploaded to the site shotly . </p>";
} else {
echo "<p>Mail could not be sent. Sorry!</p>";
}
