Problem in mail attachment

[santanu]

Hello All,

I am facing a strange problem. I write a script to send email with attachment. I test it at local machine (windows XP) and it works perfectly. But when i test at server (linux) i gets garbage messages like below.

"--=2145fb7d0a3b884574893ef2e2f25d8brnContent-Type: application/octet-streamrnContent-Transfer-Encoding: base64rnContent-Disposition: attachment

--=_2145fb7d0a3b884574893ef2e2f25d8b--rn "

Can you show us the code?

[Raju Gautam]

Maybe there some line termination \r\n \n. Normally windows uses \r\n and linux only \n. Would be better if we could see your code.

}

mail_attachment('more.pdf', "pdf/","","","","","testing....","test mail");

Here i use PEAR to send mail.

Yup, it's the line breaks.

oh, and please put code in [ PHP ] tags, it looks tidier.
I get problems with copying and pasting code in the tags, because it removes line breaks. However - it looks better, and we can spot errors quicker.

function mail_attachment($filename, $path, $mailto, $from_mail, $from_name, $replyto, $subject, $message) {

$file = $path.$filename;
$file_size = filesize($file);
$handle = fopen($file, "r");
$content = fread($handle, $file_size);
fclose($handle);
$content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
$uid = md5(uniqid(time()));
$name = basename($file);

$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"".$uid."\"\n\n";
$header .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n";
$header .= "--".$uid."\n";
$header .= "Content-type:text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n";
$header .= $message."\n\n";
$header .= "--".$uid."\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"".$filename."\"\n"; // use diff. tyoes here
$header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
$header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$filename."\"\n\n";
$header .= $content."\n\n";
$header .= "--".$uid."--";
include(Mail/mime.php');
$crlf = "rn";
$mime = new Mail_mime($crlf);
$mime->addAttachment($file,'application/octet-stream');
$body = $mime->get();
include ('util/admin/ReportMail.php');

$reportemail = new reportMail;
$reportemail->setBody($body);
$reportemail->setRecipient('To', 'santanu@xyz.com');
$reportemail->setHeader('From', 'webmaster@xyz.com',true);
$reportemail->setHeader('replyto', 'santanu@xyz.com',true);
$reportemail->setHeader('header', $header,true);
$reportemail->setHeader('To', 'santanu@xyz.com',true);
$reportemail->setRecipient('Cc', 'santanu@xyz.com');
$reportemail->setHeader('Cc', 'santanu@xyz.com',true);
$reportemail->send();
echo "send";

}

mail_attachment('more.pdf', "pdf/","","","","","testing....","test mail"); 

[printf]

\r\n is correct, it doesn't matter what system your on, the RFC 2049 standard is \r\n, so that is not your problem, the problem is here...

$crlf = "rn"; // missing \ back slashes before r and n! 

[santanu]

I fix it as

$crlf = "\r\n"; 

I run the script once get junk message.
