Upload a file in contact form Options

[Art On Web]

Hello.
I already have a contact form which works perfect.
I need to add the ability to upload a file and then send it with the rest information by email.
Can you help me with the additional code?

What code have you tried? Are you getting an error message of some kind? Post your code, if you want help with it.

I think the OP has a normal form mail script that works and wants help to modify that script so it also handles file upload. Maybe the best is to find a script that already has that functionality.

Yes pandy, I need the additional code in order to upload a file through the contact form.
Now, I received only text messages in my mailbox.
I would like to receive both message and attachment files from contact form.

Yes, I understood that. This was my way of saying I don't know how the OP's current script and form are setup so I can't just give some code. The OP should put in the effort and show is own attempt before asking for help.

[pandy]

Sorry. You asked about error messages.

Sorry. You asked about error messages.

No problem, when the OP makes the attempt and shows some code then I or anyone will be in a better position to help.

Sorry. You asked about error messages.

No problem, when the OP makes the attempt and shows some code then I or anyone will be in a better position to help.

Only if they plan to modify the script for him.

Obviously though in html you add the

CODE

<input type="file">

Obviously there is validation, validation of the files, sizing, etc.

[masonh928]

I am not quite sure how to send the file via JQuery AJAX or as JSON.

I think you could try this…

this may work, not tested myself though...
