Ive got the email program itself working fine. It interacts with a database to get the "subscriber list" as the people it sends it too.
My problem now is i need to fix it to be able to send .pdf files. I have found a couple of scripts that work like this one here for example: Working Script.
Here is the code for the email sender that allows attachments as well.
<html>
<head>
<title> Sending Email </title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
// Read POST request params into global vars
$to = $_POST['to'];
$from = $_POST['from'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
// Obtain file upload vars
$fileatt = $_FILES['fileatt']['tmp_name'];
$fileatt_type = $_FILES['fileatt']['type'];
$fileatt_name = $_FILES['fileatt']['name'];
$headers = "From: $from";
if (is_uploaded_file($fileatt)) {
// Read the file to be attached ('rb' = read binary)
$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);
// Generate a boundary string
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
// Add the headers for a file attachment
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
// Add a multipart boundary above the plain message
$message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
$message . "\n\n";
// Base64 encode the file data
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
// Add file attachment to the message
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" .
" name=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
//"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .
//" filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
$data . "\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}--\n";
}
// Send the message
$ok = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($ok) {
echo "<p>Mail sent! Yay PHP!</p>";
} else {
echo "<p>Mail could not be sent. Sorry!</p>";
}
?>
</body>
</html>basically my issue comes with how to integrate the script from the link above into my already working script.
Here is my current code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Send Email</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style_send.css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id ="outside_container">
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="head">
</div>
<div id = "content">
<p><strong>Private:</strong> For Staff use ONLY<br />

<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$from = '[noreply]dorcasshopmanager@cca-cary.org';
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$text = $_POST['elvismail'];
$output_form = false;
if (empty($subject) && empty($text)) {
// We know both $subject AND $text are blank
echo 'You forgot the email subject and body text.<br />';
$output_form = true;
}
if (empty($subject) && (!empty($text))) {
echo 'You forgot the email subject.<br />';
$output_form = true;
}
if ((!empty($subject)) && empty($text)) {
echo 'You forgot the email body text.<br />';
$output_form = true;
}
}
else {
$output_form = true;
}
if ((!empty($subject)) && (!empty($text))) {
$dbc = mysqli_connect('65.175.112.230', 'dmwimbley0606', '6sknvn', 'example')
or die('Error connecting to MySQL server.');
$query = "SELECT * FROM email_list";
$result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query)
or die('Error querying database.');
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
$to = $row['email'];
$first_name = $row['first_name'];
$last_name = $row['last_name'];
$msg = "Dear $first_name $last_name,\n\n$text";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, 'From:' . $from);
echo 'Email sent to: ' . $to . '<br />';
}
mysqli_close($dbc);
}
if ($output_form) {
?>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<label for="subject">Subject of email:</label><br />
<input id="subject" name="subject" type="text" value="<?php echo $subject; ?>" size="30" /><br />
<label for="elvismail">Body of email:</label><br />
<textarea id="elvismail" name="elvismail" rows="8" cols="40"><?php echo $text; ?></textarea><br />
File Attachment: <input type="file" name="fileatt"/>
<br/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<?php
}
?>
</div>
<div id="bottom">
<?php
echo '<ul id ="list">
<li><a href="/email_list/">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="/email_list/add_email.php">Add Email Address</a></li>
<li><a href="/email_list/send_email.php">Send Email</a></li>
<li><a href="/email_list/remove_email.php">Remove Email Address</a></li>
<li><a href="/email_list/faq.php">FAQ</a></li>';
?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>If anyone could provide any guidance on how to integrate the first script into the second script that would be great.
Thanks in advance for the help!
