I have a problem because my file attechment via a php doesn't work. I tried different tutorials. My last try was the code here:
if($isValid === true) {
// Submit Mail
$mail = new SimpleMail();
$mail->setTo(YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS, YOUR_COMPANY_NAME)
->setSubject('Neue Mietanfrage')
->setFrom(htmlspecialchars($_POST['email-address']), htmlspecialchars($_POST['first-name'].' '.$_POST['last-name']))
->addGenericHeader('X-Mailer', 'PHP/' . phpversion())
->addGenericHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html; charset="utf-8"')
->setMessage(createMessage($_POST))
->setWrap(100);
$mail->send();
// Submit Client Mail
$mailClient = new SimpleMail();
$mailClient->setTo(htmlspecialchars($_POST['email-address']), htmlspecialchars($_POST['first-name'].' '.$_POST['last-name']))
->setSubject('Ihre Mietanfrage bei '.YOUR_COMPANY_NAME)
->setFrom(YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS, YOUR_COMPANY_NAME)
->addGenericHeader('X-Mailer', 'PHP/' . phpversion())
->addGenericHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html; charset="utf-8"')
->setMessage(createClientMessage($_POST))
->setWrap(100);
$mailClient->send();
$result = array(
'result' => 'success',
'msg' => array('Ihre Reservierung wurde erfolgreich übermittelt.')
);
echo json_encode($result);
} else {
$result = array(
'result' => 'error',
'msg' => $isValid
);
echo json_encode($result);
}
//*** Attachment ***//
if($_FILES["fileAttach"]["name"] != "")
{
$strFilesName = $_FILES["fileAttach"]["name"];
$strContent = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($_FILES["fileAttach"]["tmp_name"])));
$strHeader .= "--".$strSid."\n";
$strHeader .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"".$strFilesName."\"\n";
$strHeader .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
$strHeader .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$strFilesName."\"\n\n";
$strHeader .= $strContent."\n\n";
}
<input type="file" name="fileAttach" id="fileAttach" hidden>
Why doesnt that worked for me? I just followed the tutorial but nothing helped. Do you have any idea what I have to do? The other informations like the text fields are sending without problems.
I get the informations from that form with javascript. Does that script pay any role why the email doesnt send with the attachment?
$( "#umzug-form" ).submit(function() {
$('#umzug-form-msg').addClass('hidden');
$('#umzug-form-msg').removeClass('alert-success');
$('#umzug-form-msg').removeClass('alert-danger');
$('#umzug-form input[type=submit]').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "php/umzug.php",
data: $("#umzug-form").serialize(),
dataType: "json",
success: function(data) {
if('success' == data.result)
{
$('#umzug-form-msg').css('visibility','visible').hide().fadeIn().removeClass('hidden').addClass('alert-success');
$('#umzug-form-msg').html(data.msg[0]);
$('#umzug-form input[type=submit]').removeAttr('disabled');
$('#umzug-form')[0].reset();
}
if('error' == data.result)
{
$('#umzug-form-msg').css('visibility','visible').hide().fadeIn().removeClass('hidden').addClass('alert-danger');
$('#umzug-form-msg').html(data.msg[0]);
$('#umzug-form input[type=submit]').removeAttr('disabled');
}
}
});
return false;
});

You aren't adding the file to the mail object anywhere.
SimpleMail provides the method addAttachment to add attachments to your email.
I'm extending your code with the needed lines:
// Submit Mail
$mail = new SimpleMail();
$mail->setTo(YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS, YOUR_COMPANY_NAME)
->setSubject('Neue Mietanfrage')
->setFrom(htmlspecialchars($_POST['email-address']), htmlspecialchars($_POST['first-name'].' '.$_POST['last-name']))
->addGenericHeader('X-Mailer', 'PHP/' . phpversion())
->addGenericHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html; charset="utf-8"')
->setMessage(createMessage($_POST))
->setWrap(100);
// add the following lines to your code
if (isset($_FILES['fileAttach']['tmp_name'])) {
$mail->addAttachment(
$_FILES['fileAttach']['tmp_name'],
$_FILES['fileAttach']['name']
);
}
$mail->send();
SimpleMail will load the contents of the file by itself.
