It's been while, but shouldn't this line read:

$mime .= "\r\n$attach\r\n";

Just to ensure that no extra characters get included witht he file? I 
don't think it matters much with PDFs, but it would definitely break 
other files.

You forgot the trailing -- here, so this line should read:

$mime .= "--$boundary--\r\n";

Otherwise the mail clients assume there is another part to the MIME 
message (which defaults to empty). And the last part is always the one 
that is intended to be viewed. , So it displays the empty one.

>mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]","Your Confirmation: $confirmation_number","test
test

Once again, it's been awhile, but I believe the best way to do this is 
to put only the main body headers into the header variable ($mime in 
this case), and put the parts in the body So the body itself is split 
into the parts.

This is probably contributing to the problem as well.
