Attach uploaded file to the email without PHPmailer

Question

I've been trying to create a contact form that lets me upload files and send them via email Ive found a large amount of it on w3schools but I am unsure how to attach it to the email at the bottom of the code. I don't want to use PHPmailer or anything like that because the code is nearly there just need a little help finishng it off.

PHP

 500000) {
        echo "Sorry, your file is too large.";
        $uploadOk = 0;
    }
    // Allow certain file formats
    if($imageFileType != "jpg" && $imageFileType != "png" && $imageFileType != "jpeg"
    && $imageFileType != "gif" ) {
        echo "Sorry, only JPG, JPEG, PNG & GIF files are allowed.";
        $uploadOk = 0;
    }
    // Check if $uploadOk is set to 0 by an error
    if ($uploadOk == 0) {
        echo "Sorry, your file was not uploaded.";
    // if everything is ok, try to upload file
    } else {
        if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
            echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]). " has been uploaded.";
        } else {
            echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
        }
    }


    $body = <<

    
Email from website.


    Company Name: $company_name
    Ref: $ref
    Website: $website
    Email: $email
    Tel: $tel
    Message: $message

    

    EMAIL;

    // To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
    $headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "
";
    $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "
";

    // Additional headers
    $headers .= 'To: test' . "
";
    $headers .= 'From: ' . "
";
    //$headers .= 'Cc: noreply@example.com' . "
";
    //$headers .= 'Bcc: noreply@example.com' . "
";


    if ($_POST['submit']){
    mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
    echo 'Message Successfully Sent.';
    } else {

        die('Error Email Not Sent');
    }

Here's a complete rewrite, which tested OK.

Sidenotes: You may need to change this Content-Type: application/xml but I didn't have to when testing with a .jpg and .zip file.

You also have spaces before your EMAIL; which you cannot have, since it's a heredoc. I've removed them. That would have thrown an error.

 500000) {
        echo "Sorry, your file is too large.";
        $uploadOk = 0;
    }
    // Allow certain file formats
    if($imageFileType != "jpg" && $imageFileType != "png" && $imageFileType != "jpeg"
    && $imageFileType != "gif" ) {
        echo "Sorry, only JPG, JPEG, PNG & GIF files are allowed.";
        $uploadOk = 0;
    }
    // Check if $uploadOk is set to 0 by an error
    if ($uploadOk == 0) {
        echo "Sorry, your file was not uploaded.";
    // if everything is ok, try to upload file
    } else {
        if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
            echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]). " has been uploaded.";
        } else {
            echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
        }
    }

Original answer

~~Taken/borrowed from this question, I was able to make it work some time ago when I first saw the question:~~

So with your code, try changing this block:

// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . " "; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . " "; // Additional headers $headers .= 'To: test' . " "; $headers .= 'From: ' . " "; //$headers .= 'Cc: noreply@example.com' . " "; //$headers .= 'Bcc: noreply@example.com' . " ";

with:

Sidenote: You may need to change this Content-Type: application/xml but I didn't have to when testing with a .zip file.

/* Attachment File Attachment location */ $file_name = $target_file; $path = "uploads/"; // Read the file content $file = $path.$file_name; $file_size = filesize($file); $handle = fopen($file, "r"); $content = fread($handle, $file_size); fclose($handle); $content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content)); /* Set the email header Generate a boundary */ $boundary = md5(uniqid(time())); // Email header // $header = "From: ".$from_name." "; $header = 'From: ' . " "; // $header .= "Reply-To: ".$reply_to." "; $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0 "; // Multipart wraps the Email Content and Attachment $header .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; "; $header .= " boundary="".$boundary."""; $message .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format. "; $message .= "--".$boundary." "; /* Email content Content-type can be text/plain or text/html */ $message .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" "; $message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit "; $message .= " "; $message .= "$message_body "; $message .= "--".$boundary." "; /* Attachment Edit content type for different file extensions */ $message .= "Content-Type: application/xml; "; $message .= " name="".$file_name."" "; $message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 "; $message .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; "; $message .= " filename="".$file_name."" "; $message .= " ".$content." "; $message .= "--".$boundary."-- ";
