attachements to a form

[gica2006]

I manage to send a form just using HTML and internet explorer.However can anybody please show me if it is possible to send a form with attachements (a picture and a text file) again just using HTML and internet explorer, no ASP or PHP.thank you for any help.

nope not possible. I assume you used mailto: int he form action? Beware that this will probably fail for at least half your users. Many things interfer with this method and cause it to fail.

Yeah, I agree with aspnetguy.You have to use the php mail() function for it to always work and you need more complicated scripting for users to email files to you.

thank you, I'm not familiar with PHP, but I suppose ASP will do just as good.

With ASP if you are dealing with a file upload, you will probably have to install and user a 3rd-party web server component to deal with the upload. PHP has support for dealing with file uploads built-in. Here's the section on handling file uploads:http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php

I am trying the same thing but only just starting out on HTML. I don't know anything about PHP and found the above link a bit confusing. Can some body enlighten me with some thing simplar. Thanks
