boylesg Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The method in the function below, for adding file attachments to an email, works on a windows based web server but not on a linux based web server.It results in the following email contents when the email is sent to my PC. How do you get this to work properly on a linux web server, i.e. such that the file attachment can be opened and saved in Microsoft Outlook etc.Apparently Linus requires a different text boundary than does Windows. Can anyone point me in the direction of a relevant example to follow.function AddInvFileData($FromEmail, &$EmailBody, &$EmailHeader){global $strInvFileName;$fileInv = fopen($strInvFileName, "rb");$nRandNum = 0;$strMIMEBoundary = "";$strMessage = "";$bResult = false;if ($fileInv){$bResult = true;// Read the file contents.$InvFileData = fread($fileInv, filesize($strInvFileName));fclose($fileInv);//Encode it for email - "\r\n" every 76 charcters.$InvFileData = chunk_split(base64_encode($InvFileData));# Get a random 32 bit number using time() as seed.$nRandNum = md5(time());# Define the main headers.$EmailHeader = "From:".$FromEmail."\r\n";$strMIMEBoundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{".$nRandNum."}x";$EmailHeader .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-Type: multipart/mixed;\n boundary=\"{".$strMIMEBoundary."}\"";# Define the message section$strMessage = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .

boen_robot Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Can you by any chance use a better package, such as Zend_Mail for example? I think it should work there on any platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it should work there on any platform.You would have to install it on the server which would mean that the administrator would have to do it surely? In which case I doubt that they would specially for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 No. The whole Zend framework is a bunch of PHP files that you need to just extract in your hosting space and then include the appropriate ones in your files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
