Ok.

At The Moment my code looks like this:

	$filename = $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
	 
$to = 	'Matthew.Gray@hotmail.co.uk';
$subject = 	'PHP Mail Attachment Test';
  
$message .= 	"Content-Type: ".$_FILES["file"]["type"]."; name=\"".$filename."\"\r\n"
  	."Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n"
  	."Content-disposition: attachment;"
  	."\r\n"
  	.chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($filename)))
  	.$bound_last;
 
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $from))
{
     echo 'MAIL SENT SUCCESSFULLY';
} else {
     echo 'MAIL SENDING FAILED';
}

Now finding tutorials on this shows this should work. BUT! instead of being sent as the actual file it's being sent in it's chunk_splitbase64_encode form inside the email itself.

Unsure How to convert this back to the actual document itself since all the tutorials say this method should work

Anyone got any ideas?

Hey CT,

I've had a look into this, the code you've put just displays another set of random chars.

Hey CT

Thanks for your help so far!

Took your advice and after taking it apart the header section was causing problems. As soon as I deleted this from the mail function (and the header content section) it worked.

However, I now get an email with the message content and then the "file" comes in random characters, I believe 72chars per each lines, which I believe is down to:

.chunk_split(base64_encode($file));

If that's the case how do I make it so instead of the random set of chars, the actual file is sent as an attachment?

Thanks

I echo'd what you said and it came out as: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document

which would be right since it was a docx file...

It keeps just going to Mail Failed meaning something is wrong with the mail section of the code but not sure what exactly
