I dont see anywhere in your script where the values for the following variables are set:

$mime_boundary
$fileatt_type
$picture_name
$fileatt_name


It wont work if the values are empty.

Perhaps if you attach your form we can do something.

You can attach a file using the paper clip icon you can see when replying to a post.

Something like this:

Help with Code Tags 
$path = '/home/suomedia/public_html/user_images/';  // the path to upload images (must be writable)
$filepath = $path . basename( $_FILES['Picture']['name']) ;
$len = strlen($_FILES['Picture']['name']) - 4;
$extension = substr($_FILES['Picture']['name'],$len);  // get the file extension
$permitted = array('.jpg', '.JPG', '.PNG', '.png', '.GIF', '.gif');  // only alow these file extensions
$success = false;
if (in_array($extension, $permitted)) {
  if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Picture']['tmp_name'], $filepath)) {
    $success = true;
    $fileatt_type = 'image/' . $extension;
    $picture_name = $_FILES['Picture']['name'];
    $file = fopen( $filepath, 'rb' ); 
    $data = fread( $file, filesize( $filepath ) ); 
    fclose( $file );
    $data = chunk_split( base64_encode( $data ) );
    $rand = md5( time() );  
    $mime_boundary = '==Multipart_Boundary_x{$rand}x';        
  } else {
    $success = false;
  }
} else {
  $success = false;
}
// Add file attachment to the message 
 $message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . 
             "Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" . 
             " name=\"{$picture_name}\"\n" . 
             "Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" . 
             " filename=\"{$picture_name}\"\n" . 
             "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . 
             $data . "\n\n" . 
             "--{$mime_boundary}--\n";

$path must be a path on your server to a writable directory.

You also need to sanitize all user input from your form and decide what to do if $success = false.

Thanks alot

i got a couple of questions i would like to ask like:

1.what you meant by sanitize my input?

2.can i just put the code the way it is but change the path with the rest of the php?

3. Can i change the path and direct it to an email address and do i go about doing so ( an example would help )

4.if i have a number of uploaders in a form ( three maybe ) do i need to put the code three times.

Hope its not a problem with me asking alot of questions in order to understand a pit more?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

regards
