queenc:

Interesting that you claim your posted code to be "my" code. As I see it, you copied code from 4word systems (available here: http://www.4wordsystems.com/php_mail_attachment.php).

It's pretty obvious from this line in the code you posted

$msg_txt="\n\nMail created using free code from 4word systems : http://4wordsystems.com";

At the very least, please give credit where credit is due
