but it gives error: Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\aim4job\thanks.php on line 62

Answer 1

You wrote $fp = fopen($file1, "r");. $file1 is not set.

How about moving the temporary file from the tmp folder to a tmp folder of your own then read it from there? See http://php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php

move_uploaded_file($filename, 'tmp/'.basename($filename));

// attach and send mail

unlink('tmp/'.basename($filename));

Answer 2

To fix this one error, you can change

$fp = fopen($file1, "r")

to

$fp = fopen($filetemp, "r");

Constructing a MIME mail like that is just crazy though. I'm sure you will find many more bugs there. Use an existing library, like PHPMailer or Zend_Mail.
