Hello, I am having issues adding an attachment from a form: <input name="attachedfile1" type="file" size="35"> In php I use: if (isset($_FILES['attachedfile1'])) { $file_attachment=array( "Name"=>$_FILES['attachedfile1']['name'], "Data"=>$_FILES['attachedfile1'], "Content-Type"=>"automatic/name", "Disposition"=>"attachment" ); $email_message->AddFilePart($file_attachment); } Any File that I attach seems to have the correct name but no data. How do I get this to work? I'm using email_message.php, the rest of the mailing seems to work fine. Thanks.

	Instead of "Data"=>$_FILES['attachedfile1'], use "FileName"=>$_FILES['attachedfile1'],

If I use: if (isset($_FILES['attachedfile1'])) { $file_attachment=array( "Name"=>$_FILES['attachedfile1']['name'], "FileName"=>$_FILES['attachedfile1'], "Content-Type"=>"automatic/name", "Disposition"=>"attachment" ); $email_message->AddFilePart($file_attachment); } I get: Warning: basename() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/wxvufm/public_html/globals/email_message.php on line 2148 Error: could not open part file Array If I use: if (isset($_FILES['attachedfile1'])) { $file_attachment=array( "Name"=>$_FILES['attachedfile1'], "FileName"=>$_FILES['attachedfile1'], "Content-Type"=>"automatic/name", "Disposition"=>"attachment" ); $email_message->AddFilePart($file_attachment); } I get the same error. Using: if (isset($_FILES['attachedfile1'])) { $file_attachment=array( "FileName"=>$_FILES['attachedfile1'], "Content-Type"=>"automatic/name", "Disposition"=>"attachment" ); $email_message->AddFilePart($file_attachment); } I get: Warning: basename() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/wxvufm/public_html/globals/email_message.php on line 2148 Error: it was not specified the file part name Any idea? Thanks

	Sorry I meant $_FILES['attachedfile1']['tmp_name'].

Thanks so much, it works great. How about including this in the documentation? I feel like this is a pretty common application for your class and not very straightforward at all. Everything else is documented pretty well. Also for anyone following using this thread: if (isset($_FILES['attachedfile1']) doesn't actually work if ($_FILES['attachedfile1']['name']) is the only thing I had success with. I don't think isset($_FILES['attachedfile1']['name']) worked either.

Form uploading is really outside the scope of this class, so it does not make much sense to mention that in the MIME class documentation. What you need to read to learn about PHP file uploading is the PHP documentation: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php As you may read there, the path of the uploaded file in the server is $_FILES['attachedfile1']['tmp_name'], not $_FILES['attachedfile1']['name'] .

	When I receive the attachment, the file is always corrupt. the file format is zipped $filename = $attachment["name"]; $text_attachment=array( "FileName"=>$attachment["tmp_name"], "Name"=>$filename, "Content-Type"=>$attachment["type"], "Disposition"=>"attachment" ); $email_message->AddFilePart($text_attachment); } is there anything missing from my code ?

It seems that your PHP environent has magic quotes runtime option set but for some reason it is not able to undo the magic quotes effect. Is that a local or remote file? Which PHP version are you using? Can you please run this script so I can figure what can be the problem? Make sure you replace the value of "your_file_name_here" with a string with the name of the file you want to attach. <?php $f = "your_file_name_here"; $size=filesize($f); if(!($file=fopen($f,"rb"))) die("could not open the file ".$f); $body=""; while(!feof($file)) { if(GetType($block=@fread($file,8000))!="string") { fclose($file); die("could not read file ".$f); } $body.=$block; } fclose($file); var_dump($f, $size, strlen($body), get_magic_quotes_runtime()); if((GetType($size)=="integer" && strlen($body)>$size) || (function_exists("get_magic_quotes_runtime") && get_magic_quotes_runtime())) $body=StripSlashes($body); var_dump($f, $size, strlen($body), get_magic_quotes_runtime()); ?>
