$plain = stripslashes($_POST["plain"]);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM member");
$emails = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
$emails[] = $row[0];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$from = "[email protected]";
$headers = "From:" . $from;
$to = implode(", ", $emails);

mail($to, $_POST['subject'], $_POST["plain"], $headers);

You can try this

    <?php
            $fp = fopen('myfile.pdf','rb'); 
            $dt = fread($fp,filesize('myfile.pdf'));

            $attachments[] = Array(
               'data' => $dt,
               'name' => $name,
               'type' => 'application/pdf'
            ); 

              //Generate a boundary string

            $semi_rand = md5(time());
            $mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";

            $emailcontent="<style type='text/css'>
                        body {
                            font-family: arial, Geneva, sans-serif;
                            font-size: 12px;
                        }
                        </style>";


            $subject = 'Subject';

            $my_message = 'My message';

            $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
                       "From: {$from}\n" .
                        "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
                       " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";


                //Add a multipart boundary above the plain message


            $final_message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
                      "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
                      "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
                      "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
                      $my_message . "\n\n";


                //Add sttachments

            foreach($attachments as $attachment){
               $data = chunk_split(base64_encode($attachment['data']));
               $name = $attachment['name'];
               $type = $attachment['type'];

               $final_message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
                          "Content-Type: {$type};\n" .
                          " name=\"{$name}\"\n" .              
                          "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
                          $data;
            }

            $final_message .= "--{$mime_boundary}--\n";

        $emailto = '[email protected]';

        mail($emailto, $subject, $final_message, $headers);


?>

I used this code a long time ago to attach attachments. I am not sure if it is still working.

PEAR_mail is a simple and well supported replacement for the PHP built in mail function. It has support for mime encoding and attachments and excellent documentation for what you are trying to achieve.

Use a library like SwiftMailer (http://swiftmailer.org/docs/messages.html)... much easier to add attachements.
