1. Mail as attachment using mail() function
---------------------------------------------------------------
Using PHP script a mail can be sent as an attachment
or as a text message
|
|
Using PHP script a mail can be sent as an
attachment or as a text message
The PHP mail() function can be used for this purpose
syntax: mail(arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4)
arg1 is the Email id of the receiver
arg2 is the subject of the mail
arg3 is the message body (which appears as plain text
in the body of the mail)
sending the mail as an attachment is a tricky one
Header manipulation is necessary in order to send
attachments
arg4 is the header to be manipulated
|
The
header should contain the sender , receiver email-ids, content-type,
mimie-type and mime-boundary which is an encryption of microtime along
with
some appended text.This boundary has to be used along
with the filename to be attached and its content in a way which helps
in attaching the file.
Manipulation of the header plays significant role
here.
<?php
if($_GET['chk']==1)
{
$to_id=$_POST['to_id'];
$from_id=$_POST['from_id'];
$subject=$_POST['subject'];
$msg_body=$_POST['msg_body'];
$file_body=$_POST['file_body'];
$filename=$_POST['filename'];
$mime_boundary =
"<<<--==+X[".md5(time())."]";
