How to attach two or multiple files and send mail in PHP [duplicate]
(10 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
If file already exist in server, I can attach one file at a time from the below code.
May i know how to attach two to three file at a time and send mail
Help me friends im struggling for the solution around four days.
$email_to = "$email"; // The email you are sending to (example)
$email_from = "online#tryteksolutions.co.in"; // The email you are sending from (example)
$email_subject = "subject line"; // The Subject of the email
$email_txt = "text body of message"; // Message that the email has in it
$fileatt = "files/TRYTEK.rar" // Path to the file (example)
$fileatt_type = "application/x-rar-compressed"; // File Type
$fileatt_name = "download.rar"; // Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment
$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
$headers="From: $email_from"; // Who the email is from (example)
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
$email_message .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type:text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" . $email_txt;
$email_message .= "\n\n";
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
$email_message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" .
" name=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
$data . "\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}--\n";
mail($email_to,$email_subject,$email_message,$headers);

This is the code I am using to send multiple attachments, I hope this helps you too. You actually need to use a loop at attach multiple files.
$files = array("file1.pdf","file2.pdf");
$body = "email in html form";
// email fields: to, from, subject, and so on
$to = "e-mail id of person you are sending to";
$from = "your e-mail id";
$subject = "email subject";
$message = html_entity_decode($body);
$headers = "From: $from";
// boundary
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
// headers for attachment
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" . "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" . " boundary=\" {$mime_boundary}\"";
// multipart boundary
$message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" . "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" . $message . "\n\n";
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\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));
$message .= "Content-Type: {\"application/octet-stream\"};\n" . " name=\"$files[$x]\"\n" .
"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" . " filename=\"$files[$x]\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . $data . "\n\n";
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n";
}
// send
$ok = #mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($ok) {
echo "<p>mail sent to $to!</p>";
} else {
echo "<p>mail could not be sent!</p>";
}

Sending multiple Attachment files in php mail function

I have got some piece of code to send multiple attachments through mail function in php.
The mail with attachment will be sent if there is only one attachment.
But mail sending fails if add two or more files in the array.
This is my code
// array with filenames to be sent as attachment
//$files = array("upload/Tulip.jpg");
$files = array("upload/Tulip.jpg","upload/Tulips.jpg","upload/Tulips1.jpg");
// email fields: to, from, subject, and so on
$to = "mail#mail.com";
$from = "mail#mail.com";
$subject ="My subject";
$message = "My message";
$headers = "From: $from";
// boundary
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
// headers for attachment
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" . "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" . " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
// multipart boundary
$message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" . "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" . $message . "\n\n";
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\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));
$message .= "Content-Type: {\"application/octet-stream\"};\n" . " name=\"$files[$x]\"\n" .
"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" . " filename=\"$files[$x]\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . $data . "\n\n";
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n";
}
$ok = #mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($ok) {
echo "<p>mail sent to $to!</p>";
} else {
echo "<p>mail could not be sent!</p>";
}
The mail will be sent if $files array have only one file..
Please someone help me in solving this.
Please Remember , the above code works fine if we have only one image path in $files array.
Thanks in advance

Send mail with an attachment in PHP

$fileattname = "test.jpg";
$headers = "From: $from";
// File
$file = fopen($fileatt, 'rb');
$data = fread($file, filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);
// This attaches the file
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .

Image attachment in php fails to be sent?

The code below works perfectly well when I change the attached file to an html file,but when I change the attached file to an image i.e. screenshot.png it fails to send the message.
<?php
$file_path = "screenshot.png"; // server path where file is placed
$file_path_type = "image/png"; // File Type
$file_path_name = "screenshot.png"; // this file name will be used at reciever end
$from = "xyz#gmail.com"; // E-mail address of sender
$to = "abc#gmail.com"; // E-mail address of reciever
$subject = "Please check the Attachment."; // Subject of email
$message = "This is the message body.<br><br>Thank You!<br><a href='http://7tech.co.in'>7tech.co.in Team</a>";
$headers = "From: ".$from;
$file = fopen($file_path,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($file_path));

Can you guys point out the error.I've tried to cahnge content type too at 1-2 places but it wasn't working.Am I missing anything?
It can occur due to a misconfiguration in your webserver. By changing the allowed filesize, maybe it will work.

This code to send an html file as an attachment is working properly. However in the next code snippet,when I cahnge the attachment to an image it is not being sent.Why is it so?I don't want to use phpmailer or swift mail!
<?php
$file_path = "file.html"; // server path where file is placed
$file_path_type = "text/html"; // File Type
$file_path_name = "newfilename.html"; // this file name will be used at reciever end
$from = "xyz#gmail.com"; // E-mail address of sender
$to = "abc#gmail.com"; // E-mail address of reciever
$subject = "Please check the Attachment."; // Subject of email
$message = "This is the message body.<br><br>Thank You!<br><a href='http://7tech.co.in'>7tech.co.in Team</a>";
$headers = "From: ".$from;
$file = fopen($file_path,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($file_path));
fclose($file);
$rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$rand}x";
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
$message .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .

Can you guys point out the error.I've tried to cahnge content type too at 1-2 places but it wasn't working.Am I missing anything?
Use
file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/');
Instead of
$file = fopen($file_path,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($file_path));
fclose($file);
and try with this code..
$random_hash = md5(time());
$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"PHP-alt-".$random_hash."\"";
$headers .= "\r\nMIME-Version 1.0";
$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($filename)));
$message =
"--PHP-alt-$random_hash
Content-Type: text/plain
Dear Same,

--PHP-alt-$random_hash
Content-Type: application/pdf; name=$filename

#mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
