Uploading photo from my website, and send it via email.

Question

Hello everybody, I have a form, which gathers some Information of my visitor, and when they submit the Information, it will send it to my desired email. now I need another input "file" that they can even attach their photo and send along with it to my email not on my server, I have no Idea how can I do that, I would appreciate any helps.

Answer 1

Here's a link to show you how to do the file input:

When you send the email, you'll have to send the file as an attachment. This link gives the idea:

(DISCLAIMER: I haven't coded PHP for a few years, so I don't know if this is the best way to do it. I just searched Google and skimmed the first link that came up).

Answer 2

phpmailer is a great email engine. it has many features one of which includes sending attachments. i would give this example a look, its pretty much exactly what you are trying to do.

Answer 3

Check out PEAR Mail_Mime for building the e-mail with attachments and optionally PEAR Mail for sending it.
