Answer 1

ob_start();
.... other stuff ....
$senddata ="Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"$fieldname\"; filename=\"$filename\"".$nn;
header($senddata);

?

Answer 2

If you need to get the fieldname and filename and some data is outputted before, you can look into output buffering

Answer 3

This:

ob_start();

$senddata = "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"$fieldname\"; filename=\"$filename\"".$nn;

header($senddata);

but make sure that you have constructed the valid header.
