I'm getting spam emails from my web form every week. I have tried to make some changes in my query, but that hasn't helped. I am sharing my query below, including the headers.
Can someone help me find where the problem is?

I am writing an application that is to send an email that contains a CSV as an attachment. However, it is not working. The mail function does not return false (implying that it succeeded); however, the email is not being sent.
I have sent/received email from the server before, so I do not believe that is the issue. However, I do not really have any experience with sending attachments through PHP, so I would suspect the issue lies in there. I have followed this tutorial to an extent: http://www.texelate.co.uk/blog/post/56-send-an-email-attachment-with-php/
Here are some code snippets:
$file = tmpfile();
// code omitted
$fileArray = array(); // this gets filled with more arrays/lines of data
// code omitted
try {
foreach($fileArray as $line) {
var_dump($line);
fputcsv($file, $line);
}
// begin mailing
$toEmail = 'myemail';
$subject = "Insurance Registration";
fseek($file, 0);
$attachData = fread($file, 1024);
$fileName = $lastName . "_" . date('Y');
$random = md5(time());
$boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$random}x";
$headers = "From: Test \nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" . "Content-Type: multipart/mixed\n" . "boundary=\"{$boundary}\"";
$message = "Testing!.\n\n " . "-{$boundary}\n " . "Content-Type= text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\n" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding 7bit\n\n " . "Testing Again " . "\n\n ";
$attachData = chunk_split(base64_encode($attachData));
$message .= "--{$boundary}\n" . "Content-Type: text/plain;\n" . "name=\"{$fileName}\"\n" . "Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" . " filename=\"{$fileName}\"\n" . " . Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . $attachData . "\n\n" . "-{$boundary}-\n";
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
if(mail($toEmail, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
} else {
$hasError = true;
}
if($hasError) {
echo "<h2>Error Submitting form. Please check your input and try again</h2>";
} else {
header('Location: success.php');
}
I get redirected to the success page, but never receive an email. Thanks!
I have been having difficulty trying to debug my php mail() code. I have included the entire PHP block below, so please forgive the formatting and sections that are not relevant (rCaptcha, field validation etc.)
The issue I am having is that when the emails come through... 1) There is no email body... and 2)The attachment is empty.
If I comment out this line "$body .= $my_attachment ;" I receive the expected text in the body, and unsurprisingly no attachment.
Can anyone spot my undoubtedly rookie mistakes?? I am expecting some replies suggesting I use a PHP mail library, which I am investigating now, but for my understanding and education I would appreciate some specific feedback pointing to my mistakes.
Thank you for your help.

You can use PHPmailer class to send the mail. It is very easy option to send mails.
To use PHPMailer:
Download the PHPMailer script from here: http://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
Extract the archive and copy the script's folder to a convenient place in your project.
Include the main script file -- require_once('path/to/file/class.phpmailer.php');
Now, sending emails with attachments goes from being insanely difficult to incredibly easy:
$email = new PHPMailer();
$email->From = 'you#example.com';
$email->FromName = 'Your Name';
$email->Subject = 'Message Subject';
$email->Body = $bodytext;
$email->AddAddress( 'destinationaddress#example.com' );
$file_to_attach = 'PATH_OF_YOUR_FILE_HERE';
$email->AddAttachment( $file_to_attach , 'NameOfFile.pdf' );
return $email->Send();
It's just that one line $email->AddAttachment(); to add an attachment.
I am making a php form in wordpress.I would like to attach a notepad or PDF file along this form.I am getting all this in email using mail function in a body variable for example
$body =" Attachment: $Attachmentfile";
Instead of file i am receiving file name that user uploading instead of file.I am trying to receive file in email.Actually i am learning too that how to do it.
My php code for assigning to htm file tag is,
if(trim($_POST['Attachmentfile']) === '') {
$AttachmentfileError = 'Please enter a Pdf, Notepad or Word file.';
$hasError = true;
}
else
{
if($_FILES["Attachmentfile"]["name"] != "")
{
$strFilesName = $_FILES["Attachmentfile"]["name"];
$strContent = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($_FILES["Attachmentfile"]["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";
}
else
{
$Attachmentfile = trim($_POST['Attachmentfile']);
}
}
and my Html code for getting file ,
<li class="left">
<label for="CV">Attachments :</label><span class="error">*</span><br>
<input class="txt" type="file" name="Attachmentfile" id="Attachmentfile" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['Attachmentfile'])) echo $_POST['Attachmentfile'];?>">
</li>
and this is my mail function code,
$headers = 'From: '.$name.' <'.$emailTo.'>' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: ' . $email;
$headers .= "\r\n" . 'Content-type: text/html';
wp_mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);
$emailSent = true;
Can you help and modify my code in order to get file in email.Thanks friends.
function property_add() {
$data = $_POST['data'];
$data = array_map('trim',$data);
extract($data);
$to = "reciever mail here ";
$subject = "subject here";
$message ='Message here';
$attachments = array(); // initialize attachment array
$upload_dir = wp_upload_dir(); // look for this function in wordpress documentation at codex
$upload_dir = $upload_dir['path'];
foreach ($_FILES["images"]["error"] as $key => $error) {
if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
$tmp_name = $_FILES["images"]["tmp_name"][$key]; // Get temp name of uploaded file
$name = time().'_'.$_FILES["images"]["name"][$key]; // rename it to whatever
move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$upload_dir/$name"); // move file to new location
$attachments[] = "$upload_dir/$name"; // push the new uploaded file in attachment array
}
}
add_filter( 'wp_mail_content_type', 'set_html_content_type' ); // allow html tags in mail

Don't generate your own mime emails. Use PHPMailer or Swiftmailer and reduce a huge chunk of that script down to maybe 10 lines of code.
As well, don't verify file types by looking at filenames. It's trivial to forge a filename AND the client-specified mime type. Always use server-side mime verification instead.

I get an email with my sendfiles.php then a text file ATT00424.txt. The number changes everytime. Send it to my gmail and it's fine! Very Strange!
$files = array("sendFiles.php");
// email fields: to, from, subject, and so on
$to = "hdfiuhufsadhfu#yaho.com";
$from = "mail#mail.com";
$subject ="My subject";
$message = "A logo has been sen't by". $_POST['loggedin_business_name'];
$headers = "From: $from";
// boundary
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
// headers for attachment
$headers .= "\r\nMIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" . "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\r\n" . " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
// multipart boundary
$message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n" . "--{$mime_boundary}\r\n" . "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n" . $message . "\r\n";
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\r\n";
// preparing attachments
for($x=0;$x<count($files);$x++){
$file = fopen($files[$x],"rb");
$data = fread($file,filesize($files[$x]));
fclose($file);
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
$message .= "Content-Type: {\"application/octet-stream\"};\r\n" . " name=\"$files[$x]\"\r\n" .
"Content-Disposition: attachment;\r\n" . " filename=\"$files[$x]\"\r\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n" . $data . "\r\n";
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\r\n";
}
Adding CRLF in the code fixed the attachment issue however now the message "A logo has been sen't by" has disappeared. Why is this?
Use phpMailer()
<?php
require_once('phpmailer.php');
$mail = new PHPMailer(true); // the true param means it will throw exceptions on errors, which we need to catch
$mail->IsSendmail(); // telling the class to use SendMail transport
try {
$mail->AddReplyTo('email#example.com', 'First Last');
$mail->AddAddress('John#example.com', 'John Doe');
$mail->SetFrom('email#example.com', 'First Last');
$mail->Subject = "Subject Line";
$mail->AltBody = "Alternate Text"; // optional, comment out and test
$mail->WordWrap = 50; // set word wrap
$mail->Body = "This is the body of the email";
$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML
// Single or Multiple File Attachments
$mail->AddAttachment('../path-to-file.pdf', 'File-Name.pdf');
$mail->Send(); // Try to send email
//echo "Message Sent OK<p></p>\n";
} catch (phpmailerException $e) {
echo $e->errorMessage(); //Pretty error messages from PHPMailer
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage(); //Boring error messages from anything else!
}
// end try
?>
Try having CRLF (\r\n) line breaks. Outlook can be a bit funny about these things.
You can use this class

As I understand it, Outlook creates ATT12345.txt attachments when it receives messages in sections with mixed encoding. If it is unable to convert the remainder of the message after a change in encoding (or new MIME part), it dumps the rest in an attachment with the generic names you have been seeing. It seems as if Gmail is handling the format better than Outlook (unsurprising).
I am no Outlook expert (never touch the thing), but it looks as if this answer on SO might help (check your $mime_boundary variable for a trailling '--' after the last part).
