Php: sending email failed with multiple attachments

Question

I am trying to implement mail functions in php, working fine with one attachment, but the problem is that I am trying to send multiple applications, but it doesn’t work. I am using the php mail () function to send emails, I am trying to attach a PDF file and an image file. If the PDF file is attached, the image will not be attached; if the image is attached, the PDF will not be attached. Any thoughts I'm mistaken in?

$header .= 'From: test < [e-mail] >' . "\r\n"; $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; $file = '1.png' $displayname = '1.png'; $file_size = filesize($file); $handle = fopen($file, "r"); $content = fread($handle, $file_size); fclose($handle); $content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content)); $uid = md5(uniqid(time())); $name = basename($file); $filepdf = '1.pdf' $displaynamepdf= '1.pdf'; $file_sizepdf = filesize($filepdf); $handlepdf = fopen($filepdf, "r"); $contentpdf = fread($handlepdf, $file_sizepdf); fclose($handlepdf); $contentpdf = chunk_split(base64_encode($contentpdf)); $name = basename($file); $header .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"".$uid."\"\r\n\r\n"; $header .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n"; $header .= "--".$uid."\r\n"; $header .= "Content-type:text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n"; $header .= $message."\r\n\r\n"; $header .= "--".$uid."\r\n"; $header .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"".$displayname."\"\r\n"; // use different content types here $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n"; $header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$displayname."\"\r\n\r\n"; $header .= $content."\r\n\r\n"; $header .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"".$displaynamepdf."\"\r\n"; // use different contentpdf types here $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n"; $header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$displaynamepdf."\"\r\n\r\n"; $header .= $contentpdf."\r\n\r\n"; $header .= "--".$uid."--"; if (mail($to, $subject, "", $header)) { return 'sent'; } else { return 'not sent'; }

Answer 2

You have $file and $filepdf both set to '1.png'. Set $filepdf="1.pdf" so that the rest of the header is correct.

Here is the code for several attachments in the mail function.

I created a function for multiple nesting. and check it out.

 /* * Function Name: sentMail * Scope : Sent Mail Function with CC , BCC and Attachment files.. * Input : Recipient Name => $recipientName // (Required) * Recipient MailId(Many) => $recipientMailId // (Required & Array Format) * Subject Content => $subjectContent // (Required) * Message Content => $messageContent // (Required) * Sender MailId => $senderMailId // (Required) * Sender Name(Many) => $senderName // (Required) * Recipient CC MailId => $recipientCCMailId //(Optional & Array Format) * Recipient BCC MailId => $recipientBCCMailId //(Optional & Array Format) * Attachment Files => $attachmentFiles //(Optional & Array Format) * Output : Sent mail to the Recipient. */ public function sentMail($recipientName,$recipientMailId,$subjectContent,$messageContent,$senderName,$senderMailId,$recipientCCMailId,$recipientBCCMailId,$attachmentFiles) { try { /*Get the Mulitple Recipient CC MailId*/ if(isset($recipientCCMailId)){ if(count($recipientCCMailId)>1){ $recipientCCMailId = implode(',',$recipientCCMailId); } else{ $recipientCCMailId = $recipientCCMailId[0]; } } /*Get the Mulitple Recipient BCC MailId*/ if(isset($recipientBCCMailId)){ if(count($recipientBCCMailId)>1){ $recipientBCCMailId = implode(',',$recipientBCCMailId); } else{ $recipientBCCMailId = $recipientBCCMailId[0]; } } /*** Mail Contents Starts ***/ $subj = $subjectContent; $msg =""; /*Get the Mulitple Recipient BCC MailId*/ if(count($recipientMailId)>1){ $recipientMailId = implode(',',$recipientMailId); $msg .="Dear, <b>All</b>\r <br>"; } else{ $recipientMailId = $recipientMailId[0]; $msg .="Dear, <b>".ucwords($user_name)."</b> \r <br>"; } $msg .=$messageContent."\r <br><br>"; $msg .="Thank you"."\r\n\n <br>"; $msg .=$senderName."\r\n\n <br><br>"; $headers =""; /** Get the Mulitple Attachment files and Attachment Process Starts **/ if(isset($attachmentFiles)){ $headers .= "From: ".$senderMailId."\r\n"; $headers .= "Cc: ".$recipientCCMailId."\r\n"; $headers .= "Bcc: ".$recipientBCCMailId."\r\n"; // boundary $semi_rand = md5(time()); $mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x"; // headers for attachment $headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .

Answer 4

i ran into the same problem. The problem is the border of the mime. Do not add a "-". $ Uid "-"; after each attachment. Adding a border to the type of application content is enough.
