Found this code as one of the first hits of the google://pear mail attachment search.

include('Mail.php');
include('Mail/mime.php');

$text = 'Text version of email';
$html = '<html><body>HTML version of email</body></html>';
$file = './files/example.zip';
$crlf = "rn";
$hdrs = array(
              'From'    => '[email protected]',
              'To'      => '[email protected]',
              'Subject' => 'Test mime message'
              );

$mime = new Mail_mime($crlf);

$mime->setTXTBody($text);
$mime->setHTMLBody($html);

$mime->addAttachment($file,'application/octet-stream');

$body = $mime->get();
$hdrs = $mime->headers($hdrs);

$mail =& Mail::factory('mail', $params);
$mail->send('[email protected]', $hdrs, $body);

Probably your mailserver settings. Your code also uses `Mail::factory`, so you should know it.

A:

You seem to be using the PEAR Mail package.

Take a look at the Mail_Mine object which does what you're trying to do and has an easy way of adding attachments (simply call addAttachments).
