Im using phpnuke as intranet, and has verified it can send mails. My problem is how to send a mail with attachments as should be possible with phpnukemailer.

Anyone have a "small" example of how it's done ?

heres an example i pull from the net i have no idea if it works

Code:
<?php

//define the receiver of the email
$to = 'youraddress@example.com';
//define the subject of the email
$subject = 'Test email with attachment';
//create a boundary string. It must be unique
//so we use the MD5 algorithm to generate a random hash
$random_hash = md5(date('r', time()));
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n
$headers = "From: [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]\r\nReply-To: [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]";
//add boundary string and mime type specification
$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"PHP-mixed-".$random_hash."\"";
//read the atachment file contents into a string,
//encode it with MIME base64,
//and split it into smaller chunks
$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents('attachment.zip')));
//define the body of the message.
ob_start(); //Turn on output buffering
?>
--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>"

--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello World!!!
This is simple text email message.

--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

<h2>Hello World!</h2>
<p>This is something with <b>HTML</b> formatting.</p>

--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>--

--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: application/zip; name="attachment.zip"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment

<?php echo $attachment; ?>
--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>--

<?php
//copy current buffer contents into $message variable and delete current output buffer
$message = ob_get_clean();
//send the email
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
//if the message is sent successfully print "Mail sent". Otherwise print "Mail failed"
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";
?>

Thanks for the suggestion, have tried some googled examples, but I couldn't get them to work. Suspect i might miss something basic, and seeing build-in mail works, thought it was easier to get the slaytanic phpnukemailer (built-in mailer) to work, than a full script I would have to adapt to nuke. (notes in the phpnukemailer suggests it can work with attachments but no example and the slaytanic site is kind of forum dead)

Will give your example a try in the weekend.

The owner of the above site is a Mod here under the username Jestrella so hopefully he will see this post and help. Wink

Very Happy Have looked it over and seems like its what I need to figure it out, a simple example prefilled and ready to send. (only need to mod. too and from + supply a test attachment.zip)

Think I went wrong in the mime / encode stuff on my prev. attempts.

Hmm. something must be missing, mail failed.Rolling Eyes

and i tried google, the script is not slaytanic but standard php [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

Even their simple form fails. have tried with phpnukemailer active and deactivated.

Code:
<?php

//define the receiver of the email
$to = 'youraddress@example.com';
//define the subject of the email
$subject = 'Test email';
//define the message to be sent. Each line should be separated with \n
$message = "Hello World!\n\nThis is my first mail.";
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n
$headers = "From: [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]\r\nReply-To: [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]";
//send the email
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
//if the message is sent successfully print "Mail sent". Otherwise print "Mail failed"
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";
?>

well i have just tested this as a standalone and it works fine just edit the code to include the passed variables from the contact form you cant upload with it its only the sending of the email not the form its self

Code:
<?php

// array with filenames to be sent as attachment
$files = array("example_please_change.zip");
// email fields: to, from, subject, and so on
$to = "me@you.com";
$from = "name";
$subject ="TEST";
$message = "My message";
$headers = "From: $from";
// boundary
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
// headers for attachment
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" . "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" . " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
// multipart boundary
$message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" . "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" . $message . "\n\n";
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n";
// preparing attachments
for($x=0;$x<count($files);$x++){
$file = fopen($files[$x],"rb");
$data = fread($file,filesize($files[$x]));
fclose($file);
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
$message .= "Content-Type: {\"application/octet-stream\"};\n" . " name=\"$files[$x]\"\n" .
"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" . " filename=\"$files[$x]\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . $data . "\n\n";
$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n";
}
// send
$ok = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($ok) {
echo "<p>mail sent to $to!</p>";
} else {
echo "<p>mail could not be sent!</p>";
}
?>

Thanks gazj worship , by providing a tested script i could rule-out coding and found php.ini wasn't set. I missed that because html_newsletter could send mails, so i thought server was not the problem.

Took some time to realise php.ini also exists in apache/bin and needs til be edited there not in the php folder. (why 2 php.ini ?)

ps. good advice is
1: turn error reporting on in config.php (doh !)
2: use simple : $mail_sent = mail($to , $subject , $message );echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";

only this simple form yielded an error all other larger "attachment" scripts just failed w/o explanation


yay this problem has driven me insane over a period of time, and then it was so simple. Now i just need to clean up the bombed php file i filled with tries Smile

@Offtopic .. just a stupid question , but whats the point of using a "ternaire" condition check when an if and elseif can do the trick? (which incidently makes the code readable). Aren't php authors suppose to remove redundant functions?
