<?php
// array with filenames to be sent as attachment
$files = array("file_1.ext","file_2.ext","file_3.ext",......);
// 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";
}
// 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>";

I would sugest you to use a library like PHPMailer or Zend_Mail. It's much easer and secure.
Example:
PHPMailer
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->From = $from;
$mail->FromName = $fromName;
$mail->AddAddress($to, $toName);
$mail->AddReplyTo($from, $fromName);
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$mail->AddAttachment($pathtofile);
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $bodyHTML;
$mail->Send();
Zend_Mail
(See the documentation http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.mail.html)
