code for sending mail with attachment Options

[rrn]

in my website there is a form for entering details and attaching resume.

code is given below

CODE

$fileatt =/.'resume/'.$_FILES['userfile']['name']; // Path to the file
$fileatt_type = "application/octet-stream"; // File Type
$fileatt_name = "CV".$_POST['name'].".doc"; // Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment
$email_from = $_POST['name']." ".$_POST['email']; // Who the email is from
$email_subject = 'Application';
$email_message ='
            <table cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="600">
                                                                                    
                                                                                      <tr>
                    <td width="120">Name</td>
                    <td>'.$_POST[name].'</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td width="120">Age</td>
                    <td>'.$_POST[age].'</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td width="120">Date of Birth</td>
                    <td>'.$_POST[date].'/'.$_POST[month].'/'.$_POST[year].'</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td width="120">Gender</td>
                    <td>'.$_POST[gender].'</td>
                </tr>
                                                                                         <tr>
                    <td width="120">Nationality</td>
                    <td>'.$_POST[nation].'</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td width="120">Country of Residence</td>
                    <td>'.$_POST[country].'</td>
                </tr>
                                                                                       <tr>
                    <td width="120">Contact Telephone</td>
                    <td>'.$_POST[phone].'</td>
                </tr>
                                                                                        <tr>
                    <td width="120">Email</td>
                    <td>'.$_POST[email].'</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td width="120">Applying For</td>
                    <td>'.$_POST[applyfor].'</td>
                </tr>
                           </table>
                ';
$email_to  = 'abc@xxx.com';

//adds the e-mail address of the sender
$headers = "From: ".$_POST[email];
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";

$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

$email_message .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type:text/html; charset=\"utf-8\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
$email_message . "\n\n";

$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);


$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));

$email_message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" .
" name=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .

"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
$data . "\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}\n";
unset($data);
unset($file);
unset($fileatt);
unset($fileatt_type);
unset($fileatt_name);

@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message,  $headers);

the code is working fine ,details along with the attachment is received in the mail.
but the problem is , users can only attach word document . if any pdf file or txt file is attached , it is not able to open the file from the mail id.

tried many ways , didnt work.

please helpe to solve this..
any help will be appreciated.

The Sitepoint article at http://www.sitepoint.com/article/advanced-email-php/5/ may be of help.
Or simply google for "php file attachment".

FWIW, the script doesn't appear to do any checking whatsoever, so it is totally open to spam injections and so on.

Are you having these attachments sent to yourself? So it is you who has the problem with opening a pdf or txt file?

CODE

$fileatt_name = "CV".$_POST['name'].".doc"; // Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment

Well, you are adding .doc to the end of the filename, which is unlikely to help if it's not a M$-doc file.
