I am fairly new to php, and am unfamiliar with email headers. This is a function based on some code I came across / updated to use a file object. The result is a 'File Sent Successfully gets echoed, but the email never comes. I can only assume this has something to do with the email headers that this thing is generating. Hopefully somebody see's what's wrong here:
function mail_attachment ($from , $to, $subject, $message, $attachment){
$fileatt = $attachment["tmp_name"];
$fileatt_type = "application/octet-stream";
$fileatt_name = $attachment["name"];
$email_from = $from;
$subject = "New Attachment Message";
$email_subject = $subject;
$email_to = $to;
$headers = "From: ".$email_from;
$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
$headers .= "
MIME-Version: 1.0
" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
" .
"boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
$email_message .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
" . "--{$mime_boundary}
" .
"Content-Type:text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"
" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
" . $message . "
";
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
$email_message .= "--{$mime_boundary}
" .
"Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};
" .
"name=\"{$fileatt_name}\"
" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
" . $data . "
"
. "--{$mime_boundary}--
";
$ok = mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
if($ok) { echo "File Sent Successfully.";}
else { die("Sorry but the email could not be sent. Please go back and try again!"); }
}
<?php

$mail = new PHPMailer(true); // the true param means it will throw exceptions on errors, which we need to catch
$mail->IsSendmail(); // telling the class to use SendMail transport
