Sending mail with attachment

[berei]

Can any one explaine why this code can't send zip-files, but work ok for xml and xls files?

The function call return OK, but I don't receive any mail.

<?php
function mail_attachment($filename, $userfile, $mail_to, $from_mail, $from_name, $replyto, $mail_subject, $message)
{
  $fp = fopen($userfile, "rb");
  $file = fread($fp, filesize($userfile));
  fclose($fp);
  $file = chunk_split(base64_encode($file));

  $mail_boundary = 	md5(uniqid(time()));
  $mail_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$mail_boundary}x";
  
  $mail_headers  = "From: \"".$from_name."\" <".$from_mail.">\r\n";
  $mail_headers .= "Reply-To: <".$from_mail.">\r\n";
  $mail_headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
  $mail_headers .= "Content-type: multipart/mixed;boundary=\"{$mail_boundary}\"\r\n";
  $mail_headers .= "\r\n";

  $mail_body  = "--{$mail_boundary}\r\n";
  $mail_body .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=euc-kr\r\n";
  $mail_body .= "Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit\r\n";
  $mail_body .= "\r\n";
  $mail_body .= "$message";
  $mail_body .= "\r\n";
  $mail_body .= "--{$mail_boundary}\r\n";

  $mail_body .= "Content-type: application/octet-stream; name=$filename\r\n";  
  $mail_body .= "Content-transfer-encoding:base64\r\n";
  $mail_body .= "\r\n";
  $mail_body .= $file;

  if (mail($mail_to, $mail_subject, $mail_body, $mail_headers))
  {
    echo "OK";
  }
  else
  {
    echo "ERROR";
  }  
}
?>

i copied your code, and its sending a zip-file without problems....

i think you need to check the logfiles of your mailserver?

it could fail because of the size of the attachment

Specials characters in filename

It don't work when the filename contains specials characters i.t. danish æøå.
Hot do I overcome this limitation?

You could try to encode the filename,
just as they did with the subject here:
