ohhh then its pretty simple...
phpmailer provides you with an option to send email attachments...
just upload the attachment file using input type="file"
and add this line to your code

$mail->AddAttachment("path_to_uploaded_file, file_name");

Do remember to check the file type before uploading it to ur system or else u can end up uploading some malicious files that can even crash ur machine..

Hope this helps.. Cheers!!!

definately! actually i am using'
class.phpmailer.php' in this.

$mail->From     = $_POST[email];
				$mail->FromName = $_POST[name];
				$mail->AddAddress($_POST[friendemail]);
/*				$mail->AddCC($resNewsUsers["emailid"]);
				$mail->AddBCC($resNewsUsers["emailid"]);*/
				$mail->IsHTML(true);                                  // set email format to HTML
				$mail->Subject = $sub;
				$mail->Body = $msg;
				$mail->AltBody = "This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients";
				$mail->Send();

Do you have the function in your class-

function AttachAll() {
        // Return text of body
        $mime = array();

        // Add all attachments
        for($i = 0; $i < count($this->attachment); $i++)
        {
            // Check for string attachment
            $bString = $this->attachment[$i][5];
            if ($bString)
                $string = $this->attachment[$i][0];
            else
                $path = $this->attachment[$i][0];

            $filename    = $this->attachment[$i][1];
            $name        = $this->attachment[$i][2];
            $encoding    = $this->attachment[$i][3];
            $type        = $this->attachment[$i][4];
            $disposition = $this->attachment[$i][6];
            $cid         = $this->attachment[$i][7];
            
            $mime[] = sprintf("--%s%s", $this->boundary[1], $this->LE);
            $mime[] = sprintf("Content-Type: %s; name=\"%s\"%s", $type, $name, $this->LE);
            $mime[] = sprintf("Content-Transfer-Encoding: %s%s", $encoding, $this->LE);

            if($disposition == "inline")
                $mime[] = sprintf("Content-ID: <%s>%s", $cid, $this->LE);

            $mime[] = sprintf("Content-Disposition: %s; filename=\"%s\"%s", 
                              $disposition, $name, $this->LE.$this->LE);

            // Encode as string attachment
            if($bString)
            {
                $mime[] = $this->EncodeString($string, $encoding);
                if($this->IsError()) { return ""; }
                $mime[] = $this->LE.$this->LE;
            }
            else
            {
                $mime[] = $this->EncodeFile($path, $encoding);                
                if($this->IsError()) { return ""; }
                $mime[] = $this->LE.$this->LE;
            }
        }

        $mime[] = sprintf("--%s--%s", $this->boundary[1], $this->LE);

        return join("", $mime);
    }

call this function to attach -

function AddAttachment($path, $name = "", $encoding = "base64", 
                           $type = "application/octet-stream") {
        if(!@is_file($path))
        {
            $this->SetError($this->Lang("file_access") . $path);
            return false;
        }

        $filename = basename($path);
        if($name == "")
            $name = $filename;

        $cur = count($this->attachment);
        $this->attachment[$cur][0] = $path;
        $this->attachment[$cur][1] = $filename;
        $this->attachment[$cur][2] = $name;
        $this->attachment[$cur][3] = $encoding;
        $this->attachment[$cur][4] = $type;
        $this->attachment[$cur][5] = false; // isStringAttachment
        $this->attachment[$cur][6] = "attachment";
        $this->attachment[$cur][7] = 0;

        return true;
    }
