I would like to send mails with attachements in PHP. I tried this example from a website:
//recipient
$to = 'my email adress';
//sender
$from = 'test@example.com';
$fromName = 'Moduleingabe';
//email subject
$subject = 'test email';
//attachment file path
$file = $dateiname;
//email body content
$htmlContent = '<h1>Test email</h1>
<p>This email has sent from PHP script with attachment.</p>';
//header for sender info
$headers = "From: $fromName"." <".$from.">";
//boundary
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
//headers for attachment
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" . "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" . " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
//multipart boundary
$message = "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"UTF-8\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" . $htmlContent . "\n\n";
//preparing attachment
if(!empty($file) > 0){
if(is_file($file)){
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n";
$fp = @fopen($file,"rb");
$data = @fread($fp,filesize($file));
@fclose($fp);
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
$message .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"".basename($file)."\"\n" .
"Content-Description: ".basename($file)."\n" .
"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" . "
filename=\"".basename($file)."\"; size=".filesize($file).";\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . $data . "\n\n";
}
}
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}--";
$returnpath = "-f" . $from;
//send email
$mail = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, $returnpath);
//email sending status
echo $mail?"<h1>Mail sent.</h1>":"<h1>Mail sending failed.</h1>";
This gives me the result Mail sending failed.
I also tried just the mail()
function without attachements and it gave me a false
.
I tried to use a real mail adress I had for $from
, but it gave me the same result, though I remember being able to use any example mail when I first tried out the function.
