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
Jump to PostLike 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?

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

Hi,
I am also coding the same but sending word and excel as attachment. If the explictly give the path name from server its working , but when i try to browse file from my PC its not working.
Email is send but if i open the attachment there is no text/content in it.
How do i need to open a file from my PC and attach through mail.
<form action="mail_attachment.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="fileatt"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
$fileatt = "/home/myfile/public_html/myreport.xls"; // Path to the file
$fileatt_type = "application/octet-stream"; // File Type
$fileatt_name = "myreport.xls"; // Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment
$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);Insted of giving the path i need to browse from my PC.
Please help
Thanks.
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..
