PHP Trying to add ability to send attachment to working contact us form
I have a friend who asked me to modify her website's contact form to request phone number and also the ability to add photo attachments. I've added the code necessary to request and send the phone number with the email, but adding the ability to attach photo files is beyond the current scope of my knowledge. Could someone take a look at the code and tell me how to add the ability to attach files to the message? All I'm trying to do is add this below the current message field, but it's proving to be more involved than I expected. Since everything I tried has broken the current form, I've removed my code attempts to add the attachment and I'm posting the code as it currently works. It's my hope someone with a better grasp of php can help us with this.
<?php
//set the level of error reporting
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED);
// Set-up these 3 parameters
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Question from The website';
$contact_submitted = 'Your message has been sent.';
function email_is_valid($email) {
return preg_match('/^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$/i',$email);
}
if (!email_is_valid($to)) {
echo '<p style="color: red;">You must set-up a valid (to) email address before this contact page will work.</p>';
}
if (isset($_POST['contact_submitted'])) {
$return = "\n\r";
$youremail = trim(htmlspecialchars($_POST['your_email']));
$yourname = stripslashes(strip_tags($_POST['your_name']));

}
$number_1 = rand(1, 9);
$number_2 = rand(1, 9);
$answer = substr(md5($number_1+$number_2),5,10);
?>
<form id="contact" action="contact.php" method="post">

<p><span>Message:</span><textarea class="contact textarea" rows="1" cols="50" name="your_message"><?php $yourmessage; ?></textarea></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.7em;">To help prevent spam, please enter the answer to this question:</p>

If anyone can figure this out I'd be forever grateful.
