Using $_FILES

[hubiejr]

I'm trying to allow the user to select a picture and attach it to the form which the sends the email.

Eveything works execpt the attaching a picture part, and I'm sure it has to do with my $_FILES Command.

picture is the name used for the input in my form.

<?

$do = ($_POST['do']);

if($do == "send")
{
    $recipient = "abcd@xxx.com";
    $name = ($_POST['name']);
    $email = ($_POST['email']);
    $phone = ($_POST['phone']);
    $upload = ($_FILES['picture']);
    $message = ($_POST['message']);
    $body = "Name: $name \r\n Email: $email \r\n Phone: $phone \r\n Description: $message \r\n $upload";
    $formsend = mail("$recipient", "-QUOTE-","$body", "From: $email ($name)\r\nReply-to:$email");

    echo ("<p>Your quote was sent!</p>");
}
?>

Thanks,

$_FILES['fieldname'] holds an array of details about a particular file (or files), not the file itself. Also even if it did contain the image file contents as a string you can't just include it inline in your email body.

Check out the mime mail script on my site or do a search on sending mime mail. Also check out the sticky on uploading images.
