PHP mail attachment - sending an attachment with PHP

sending an email with php is easy, an attachment is a bit harder, but possible. Here are somethings you will need from the video

(note, just SOME of the things)
$content = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($file)));
$header .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"".$uid."\"\r\n\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$file_name."\"\r\n\r\n";
$header .= "Content-type:text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n";

@Szegi87 just do unlink($file) afterwards

[Szegi87]

@optikalefxx is there another way? i mean just send email with attachment without putting it on my hosting server?

[optikalefxx]

@Szegi87 Thats because you didn't move the uploaded file to your computer first. You need to use move_file_upload first, then use that location as the file
