[PHP] Attaching a PDF in email (no body text displays)

2005-07-21 Thread Ade Smith 
I am attaching a PDF document to an email, this part works great, however to
get this to work it prevents the text in the body of the message to be
displayed, what am I doing wrong?  

 

Here is the code:

 

$filename = confirmation.pdf; 

if(!($fp = fopen($filename, r))):

  $error = Can't open file;

  echo $error;

  exit;

endif;

 

$boundary = b . md5(uniqid(time()));

$boundary=''.$boundary.'';

 

$attach = fread($fp, filesize($filename));

$attach = chunk_split(base64_encode($attach));

 

$mime = from: [EMAIL PROTECTED];

$mime .= Content-type: multipart/mixed; boundary=$boundary;

 

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

$mime .= Content-type:  application/pdf; name=\confirmation.pdf\\r\n;

$mime .= Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n\r\n;

$mime .= Content-Disposition: attachment;\r\n;

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

 

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

$mime .= Content-Type: text/HTML; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n;

$mime .= Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n;

$mime .= test test test;

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

 

mail([EMAIL PROTECTED],Your Confirmation: $confirmation_number,,$mime);

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.

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

$mime .= Content-Type: text/HTML; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n;

$mime .= Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n;

$mime .= test test test;

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

 
  

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: $confirmation_number,test
test
test test test,$mime);
  


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.

Personally  I use the MimeMail class, that works a treat,

http://www.phpguru.org/static/mime.mail.html


Their are two versions, one php4 one php5, or install via pear.
