Sending images as email attachments via a form?

[LDWP]

Hello all,

I am having a bit of trouble. I want to allow users to send me an attachment through a form.

The page it is on has a "submit" button at the bottom, which sends the entire page entries to my email address. However, when I recieve this email, all it says is the location of the file on the user's harddrive. It does not attach the picture to the email.

Here is the code I am currently using to try to accompish this:

<form method="POST" action="mailto: (my email address)" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Attachment: <input type="file" name="attachedfile" allow="image/*">

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can't use mailto: for that. You have to parse the multipart data, save the file then build your email from scratch on the server.

Thank you very much. Do you by chance happen to know of any websites where I could find some codes on how to do that?
