Send attachment mail using php

Hi php folks,

If you would like to send a mail thru php, it is very easy,
You can send mail from online,
but If you want to send an attachment in php mail function, its somewhat difficult.

I have added some sample code to send an attachment in php mail

Create a file attachment.pdf which is going to be attached with the mail

And then use the following code in a php file

mailattachment.php
~~~~~~~~~~~~
<?php

    $to = "toaddress@domain.com";
    $subject = "Subject for mail attachment";

    $random_hash = md5(date('r', time()));

      $headers = "From: fromemail@domain.com\r\nReply-To: noreply@domain.com";
    $headers .= "\r\nMIME-Version: 1.0";
    $headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"PHP-mixed-".$random_hash."\"";
  
    $attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents("attachment.pdf")));

  $output = "--PHP-mixed-$random_hash;

Content-Type: text/plain; charset='iso-8859-1'
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Hello World!
This is the simple text version of the email message.

--PHP-mixed-$random_hash
Content-Type: text/html; charset='iso-8859-1'
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

<h2>Hello World!</h2>
<p>This is the <b>HTML</b> version of the email message.</p>


--PHP-mixed-$random_hash
Content-Type: application/pdf; name=attachment.pdf
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment

$attachment
--PHP-mixed-$random_hash--";

  echo @mail($to, $subject, $output, $headers);

?>

Change the content type to appropriate file type and make sure  the attachment file is in correct location 
example: for pdf  Content-Type: application/pdf;
for gif : Content-Type: application/gif;
for text: Content-Type: application/plain; 


Save the code in a file mailattachment.php and run it from the php server,
and check the inbox to see the attachment.
