How to send mail with attachment in php

[Ravigandha]

Exactly the question is i have a code that is working fine in sending mail with attachments, but when the mail is sent to yahoo address the attachment file is not displaying ? Why this is happening where as it works fine for gmail, mydomain mails displaying the attachment !

It sounds like a security measure implemented in Yahoo. Maybe, like in Hotmail, you can confirm the message is not spam, somehow? What mime type do you use?

Here is my code

$id=$_SESSION['mailid'];
  $sub=$_POST[subj];
  $msg=$_POST[message];
   $body=       "----------------------------Messagee--------------------------------\n" .
              "$msg\n";
  $from="info@gokulmarriage.com";
   "Upload: " . $_FILES["fileatt"]["name"] . "<br />";
 "Type: " . $_FILES["fileatt"]["type"] . "<br />";
 "Size: " . ($_FILES["fileatt"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
 "Temp file: " . $_FILES["fileatt"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";

if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileatt"]["tmp_name"]))
                        {
                        $tmpname=$_FILES["fileatt"]["tmp_name"];
                        $orgname=$_FILES["fileatt"]["name"];
                        $fileUp=time()."_".$orgname;
                        $dest="uplode_file/".$fileUp;
                     move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileatt"]["tmp_name"],
                    "uplode_file/" . $fileUp);
                     "Stored in: " . "uplode_file/" . $fileUp;
                                             
                        } 
$fileatt = $dest; // Path to the file
$fileatt_type = $_FILES["fileatt"]["type"]; // File Type
$fileatt_name = $_FILES["fileatt"]["name"]; // Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment
   foreach ($id as $value)
        {
             "$value is checked";
             $sat="select * from  registration where reg_id='$value' ";
            $res_del=mysql_query($sat);
            $row=mysql_fetch_object($res_del);
            $toemail=$row->email;    
            $headers = "From: $from";
             $fileatt= $dest;
         $file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
         $data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
         fclose($file);
           // Generate a boundary string
         $semi_rand = md5(time());
         $mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
         
         // Add the headers for a file attachment
         $headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" .
                     "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
                     " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"\r\n\r\n";
                     // Add a multipart boundary above the plain message
         $message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n\r\n" .
                    "--{$mime_boundary}\r\n" .
                    "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n" .
                    "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n" .
                    $body . "\r\n\r\n";
                    // Base64 encode the file data
         $data1= chunk_split(base64_encode($data),72);
         // print("<pre>$data1</pre>");
         // Add file attachment to the message
         $message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\r\r" .
                     "Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\r\n" .
                     " name=\"{$orgname}\"\r\n" .
                    
                      "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"{$orgname}\"\r\n" .
                       "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n\r\n" .
                      $data1 . "\r\n\r\n" .
                     "--{$mime_boundary}--\r\n\r\n\r\n";
                     
            $ok = @mail($toemail, $sub, $message, $headers);
            if ($ok)
                 {
           echo "sent";
                 } 
            else
                 {
            echo "Failed";
                 }

No the message is not spam.

Heya, Ravigandha.

Are only certain types of files not showing up, or is Yahoo blocking all your attachments?

[Ravigandha]

I think yahoo and hotmail is blocking all the attachments and displaying it in junk format ! Where as in others it is displaying attachments !

[pbmods]

Sounds like an issue you need to take up with Yahoo. The problem is in their policy, not your code.

Yeah, spam checkers are often treating my emails as spam because they include some key spam words in the subject (Register, Sign up, etc) as well as my site not being well known. Spam protection is very tight on some mail servers where you are guilty until proven innocent, so have a play around with wording in subject, content and attachment names and see if that helps.
