Hi
I've been trying to get a email form which allows my users to send photos as an attachemt via a "upload" button. I've got it working i.e. the form is sending me the data plus the photos, but I'm still getting this error when "submit" is pressed.
Notice: Undefined variable: fileatt_name in d:\inetpub\mm.models121.co.uk\uploader.php on line 94
This is line 94 of my code :
" filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
I'm not sure what is going on here.
Anybody got any ideas?
Leroy

Here is the code I'm using. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to make the variable?

Like the error message makes perfectly clear, the variable is not defined anywhere before that call. Are you trying to send over the attachment's filename? Judging from your code, isn't that being stored in $name?

add a simple java script to upload file automatically to web server temp cache ( i meant to call upload file page ) and catch full path of the uploaded file then you will be able to do what you want..
